This is a little odd, I haven't been to camp, but I would have thought Rivera would have made camp a little more serious, since he is a "no nonsense" kind of guy.

I am just wanting to see this team get better, and see Cam progress through the season.

As of now, I am going to say 7-9

Typo Zod? You said we were 1-15, we were 2-14 I believe. ^^

K, I agree 100%. =)

he's relating the relaxed demeanor to that of a team that went 1-15, not necessarily indicating that we had that record. though we basically did.

With all due deference to our esteemed Emperor Zod, I hope you are wrong. Perhaps blind homerism is my chief character flaw, but I have to believe we can do better than that. I say six, possibly seven wins. Lax camp or not, a hugely improved O-line, a pounding set of RBs, and a linebacking corps that acts like wolves just introduced to red meat for the first time lead me to believe they have six or seven wins in them.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. Makes more sense now.

Accuracy is for the accurate

Will be checking out camp in the next few days and will be seeing if it stays the same. Different coaches do different things. Fox already ran a pretty serious camp with lots of physicality but based on the 3 winning seasons in 9 years it is hard to say that is more effective than one that is more laid back.

I suspect that the new rules are affecting camp and they all are less physical and more about board work and walk throughs. It will also be interesting to see if things change in the event we play poorly in preseason.

In any event I think that 5-11 is a safe bet at this point. Hard to expect more with the youth at such critical positions and short time to get prepared.

I'd say anywhere from 5-11 to 7-9 is a reasonable expectation for this team. We just have two glaring positions of need at QB and CB and the performance there will probably determine how we do.

thank you Dr.Zod.

Felt more like a prostate exam.

I think you are pretty spot on tho.

9-7

[Darth Biscuit]

I would never go to a Dr named Zod.

I hope you are wrong, but I think you're pretty close to it. Maybe they will surprise... if nothing else, I hope they can put together a season to build on.

pretty difficult to make any guesses 4 days in....considering everything is new. I will wait until after the preseason before I guess about this team.
