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.

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...

Ok I thought we signed BB3 to play NT?  Why is he a back-up DE?

Panthers skill position players and bad hamstrings... Name a more iconic duo

Yeah that can’t be right. Is BB nursing an injury or something? Also Turk shouldn’t be DT. I thought he was kind of a smaller DE?

Well, they are showing more passion than they did Saturday at least...

I know Evero prefers smaller, more agile defenders at the nose vs. the prototypical 3-4 NT but surely to god we aren't actually going to play a 6' 280 pounder there.
