The Mini Camp Thread....(updated Sunday)

its not the mistakes its that connor is younger and can be better than him..to me it would be a waste for him just to sit on the bench as a backup MLB

Maybe Connor can be better than Diggs in the future, but until he proves it on the field, Diggs should be the starter. And looking good in one mini camp practice does not qualify as proving it on the field.

What defensive scheme are they running?

i only saw about 5-10 mins of "scrimmage" time and i would assume cover 2. the db's were playing off and barnadge(sp) was getting a lot of receptions over the middle. the wr's were also working the short routes a lot, but imo, the day was very lax and not too intense. what i mostly saw was position groups working amongst themselves rather than 11-on-11 play. also, for those that were there, where are fox and meeks at? i saw the position coaches but don't recall seeing either coordinators or fox.

i know this but he should at least get the opp on the left side...instead of just going in as the backup in the middle.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Johnson was Diggs backup, and Connor was playing the weak side behind Davis last year?

Johnson was Diggs backup last year, I can't remember where Connor was but I thought coming into the season he was listed as the backup MLB.

You guys forget during this Diggs/Connor argument that Fox favors starting veterans.

I favor starting Vets too. Why fix it if it aint broke? Man Diggs might be old but the dude played very well last year and also was on ST.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
