New faces

Frank Alexander is a player who really intrigues me, mostly because we saw enough in him to give next year's 3rd rounder.

Josh Norman has also caught my attention, especaily for a 5th round pick. Don't have much evidence other than his d2 highlights, scouting reports,good mini camp reports, and lack of competetion at the # 2 corner to support my feelings but for some reason I feel strongly that he will emerge as the # 2 corner by the start of the season.

Returning Players

Gary Barnidge- I am rooting for this guy because of the how much we used 2 tight ends last year and Shockey being absent. He has flashed in camp before but am strongly hoping he can take it a step further this time

Fua/Mcclain- I am really hoping one of these 2 really steps it up this year and my money is on Fua based of rewatching every game and paying close attention the d-line the 2nd time around.

Obviously theres many more but didn't want to get too carried away and wanted to leave some for you guys as well.

Barnidge - Olsen is a given receiving threat...Barnidge is quite fast for a TE and is definitely on my radar and he should step it up. I think he could get 25+ receptions this year

McClain & Kearse...not Fua because I'm thinking he'll be Ron's backup at NT for now

Keiser, Applewhite, & Alexander - I want to see who jumps ahead within the group behind Johnson & Hardy

Ninja Nakamura - dethrone Martin please

Lamont Bryant - muy interesante

Every year I pick one or two undrafted guys that I take a special interest in and hope they make the team. Last year it was Byron Bell and this year it is Lamont Bryant. If he doesn't make the active roster I hope he makes the practice squad. Then again I liked Taye Bittle a few years back and he went nowhere. Sure these guys are longshots to make the team but who knows stranger things have happened.

Lamont Bryant for sure.

Murphy vs. Gettis, the battle two injured burners with young promising careers.

Reggie Smith, Haruki Nakamura.

Justin Medlock.

Bruce Campbell.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually really intrigued by Nortman punting the ball and Adams fielding punts.

Really excited about Pilares development. 89 is singing his praises a little, so hopefully he can be a secret weapon.

Tolbert's role in our offense has me very interested as well.

Yeah, as they probably won't make the roster, I'm really hoping we keep Lamont Bryant and Jared Green on the practice squad. There's some definite potential there in terms of their size and speed, respectively.

In terms of camp, I think I'm most curious about how our Safety position pans out, with CB2 being a close second. If we see improvements in either the front or back end of our defense (we already know the middle will be stout), then I think our D will be vastly improved.

CBs- Norman and Hogan (as most of you know, Norman looked surprisingly good earlier, while Hogan didn't look great)

WR- Joe Adams, Louis Murphy, and David Gettis

DE- Greg Hardy and Frank Alexander

FS- someone has to start here right?

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
