Tattoorhinos observations from camp

Thanks for the write up. Nice stuff. You brought up a good point not being talked about.

E. Brown. I think we still need some DE talent. Who is going to get the reps across from Johnson? Brown just isn't panning out.

I know everyone hyped Hardy and he showed promise.....but it is very possible that a 2nd year player still is just best suited for spot duty.

If either gets dinged up....we are in a bad spot.

"Ziembe #75 is as big an individual I have ever seen"

Saw this guy play at Auburn. That's a great description. Then when you hear him talk he has kind of a scary echo going on, like Andre the Giant(that Pro wrestler from about 20-30 years ago). Nice addition to the O-line. He plays with a really violent attitude. The coaches at Auburn had to calm him down a bit because he was injuring defensive players in practice. He loved to dish out pancake blocks and wrestle pass rushers to the ground. Cam called him "big nasty"

re: the lack of hitting...just think of it this way.

the less hits they take/give out early on, the more they'll be able to take/give out later on...you know, when it actually matters.

you've got to take the long view with it. not only will it help lengthen careers and give them a better chance at a healthier post-NFL life, and take away an added risk of needless injury, it will help their energy level and health towards the end of the season.

save the damage for games.

My thoughts on E. Brown is..if you are going to be an undersized DE you have to have a motor above and beyond a prototypical sized guy..right now i don't know if we've seen that drive to be the best from him.

yeah, if you are undersized in the NFL (regardless of position) you need a pretty big chip on your shoulder. Smitty and Capt both have what appear to really short fuses and attitude. Brown seems like the nicest guy on the team.

    • Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do.
    • To be honest I just haven't been paying attention. I have PTSD from all these shitty Tepper hires. I'm just going to wait and see what takes the field.
    • What is extremely rare?  Taking a young quarterback when you have a starter?  If that is what you are referring to, at one time it wasn't that rare.
