All good mang! I've done the same thing two or three times this offseason after you've already gotten a thread up and going. 😂

He was very, very, VERY lucky his foot didn't plant in that turf. 

I've not been impressed with anything I've seen from him but don't want to see anyone fug up their career. And that looked bad in real time. I said a little "thank ya Jesus" when he came out of the blue tent with his helmet instead of on a cart.

The following is a real story- I dropped something I was trying to repair on a carpet area and dropped down on all fours in order to find the piece of plastic. Incoming knee pain, {fug off you're not winning this time!!!} about 1:39 seconds past of which I was in level 9 pain for 1:25 of it. I ended up stretching my MCL and have been limping for 14 days now. I dont even want to lift my leg high enough to put on my reef sandals. It's so pitiful, I may die from the cringe.......

Threw the preseason offensive snap counts into a spreadsheet and found some data points that I thought were interesting:

  • Brycen Tremayne saw a snap increase of 15. The only other offensive player that saw a significant snap increase that wasn't new/returning was David Moore (11).
  • Jimmy Horn Jr saw the largest decrease in snap counts (-12) without a major change in his circumstances. TMac (-17) is nursing a sore hamstring, Coker (-29) was sick, Dalton (-20) got hurt, and Mays (-13) saw time as a starter and was no longer competing for center.
  • Only offensive skills' players with more snaps than Tremayne (41) is Moore (43).
  • Very close total offensive snap counts for Etienne (37), Evans (36), Horn Jr (36), and Mitchell (35).
  • Two of the bottom five offensive snap counts are held by Emani Bailey (11) and Jacolby George (11). That caught my eye considering the news about George getting a pretty sweet deal for a UDFA and rumbles about Bailey looking good in what few touches he had gotten in practice + preseason. Possibly hiding them to stash on the practice squad, or maybe not doing what they need to on ST?
  • Walton (64), Kingston (59), and Carter (59) are the third through fifth highest snap counts behind Nijman (78) and BC (76). Likely all competing for that 9th spot or to make a case for the team to take a 10th OL.

Last practice of training camp today!!!

  • Padded practice
  • BB3, TMac, Scourton, and Tremble all working with trainers
  • DJ Johnson not practicing today
  • Zavala back in pads
  • Dalton looks to be fine throwing but still has his arm in a sleeve
  • Canales made the offense run two sprints after the first portion of team drills. Wasn't happy with the execution.

If the offense is having problems moving the ball against this defense...

    • well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying 
    • All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO. 
    • I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
