That might have been the hottest, steamiest practice of camp yet, just a brutal, sweltering afternoon.

The work was fairly heated as well, as the offense got the better of the defense in a segment of live goal-line work.

The highlight of that one was clearly QB Matt Moore's bootleg run for a TD, which he punctuated by doing TE Jeff King's leaping spike-between-the-legs move. He was able to laugh on the way to the pylon he was so alone, having sold the fake perfectly.

There were a few complications from the heat.

DT Louis Leonard had to be taken in for an IV, and the play got a little sloppy at times.

A few other highlights:

-- Poor C Andrew Crummey can't get a snap down. He launched a few more missiles on shotgun attempts, holding up practice. At one point early he was yanked out of a team drill, and later, when he tried to take a knee and get some water, coaches politely suggested that he find Jimmy Clausen and try to get a few under his belt.

You feel bad for him, but also for all the other guys standing there waiting, or unable to get anything done.

-- Got a few guys back to practice, including WR Trent Guy and LB Jordan Senn. CB Chris Gamble and RB Jonathan Stewart also continued to work, a good sign for two needed front-line players.

RB DeAngelo Williams was out again with an excused personal absence.

-- DE Everette Brown had a good afternoon, looking particularly good in 1-on-1s against LT Jordan Gross.

Brown used power to get Gross moving back the first time, then threw a quick spin move on him the second.

Working against Gross should help him develop, and they need him to.

-- Coach John Fox said DE Tyler Brayton (ankle) was probably day-to-day, rather than week-to-week. That's a good sign, since week-to-week covers everything from compound fractures to poisonous snakebites in Fox's world.

Day-to-day can still mean a few weeks, but Brayton's doesn't seem to be too bad. I wouldn't look for him the next few preseason games, but it sounds like the regular season opener is still in play.

High temp at GSP Airport was 88 at 4:53PM and it didn't even break 85 till after 3PM....so I'll vote this has been far from the hottest, steamiest practice yet. Maybe Gantt is more hungover today than any practice yet? Or maybe he used embellishment to round out his report? Anyway, under 90= not to bad at all...just sayin'..

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
