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...

    • What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.
    • Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.
    • I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
