A lil off topic but has anybody been watching the Jaguars? Justin Blackmon has LIT IT UP in both games he has played in. He had 4 catches for 74 yards against the Ravens D in the first half. Who was that guy on here before the draft that was saying he wasnt gonna be crap in the NFL? LMAO!!

hopefully we won't ignore the impending hole at left tackle in subsequent drafts... gross has another year or three, but that's going to have to be addressed sooner rather than later so we're not running with a rook.

Maybe it clicks for Bruce Campbell? He has looked pretty good and he has the size, athleticism, and length to be a LT.

Remember, bad quarterbacking can make o-lines look like crap also.

The Cards got absolutely hosed by the Eagles in that deal.

The Eagles are really good at managing the perception of their own players and getting maximum value for them right before they fall off a performance cliff... or even if the player actually wasn't ever that good.

They got laughed at for the McNabb deal. They were right. And reports out of Atlanta are that the Eagles were right to move Asante when they did too.

i would like to hope so, and it'll be interesting to see if the team gives him future reps at LT in practice. my concern would be his ability to conceptualize varying blitz packages thrown at him from that position. he'll have to face them at RT or G or wherever we play him (he's played both) but obviously LT is extremely important, and not a place to just plug in a guy and hope he works.

campbell is one of the players i'm most excited about this season though, so it'd be awesome if he worked out as a long term solution.

Kevin Kolb was never a good QB

Just another member of Philly's club of overachieving signal callers (if you can call his career in Philly "overachieving")

agree, he was an ungodly level of turrible in philly. pure hype. even coming in as a backup during mike vick injuries he looked like dogshit

LT is actually a position that is more reliant on skill. The center and guard positions have to read the defenses and handle blitzes and react mentaly more often. Maybe that is why he struggled at guard in Oakland. He seems to have grasped Chud's offense so far. At tackle you have to worry about twists and outside blitzes but for the most part you are man on man and Campbell seems to have that body type to deal with a speed or power rush. Would be nice if he evolves, then we can focus a high draft pick on another position of need.

yeah i agree totally... it's the centers in particular that have to be adept at making presnap reads and calling out assignments.

my fear in particular is that defenses would exploit campbell's inability to react to confusing looks thrown directly at his end despite the pre-snap calls from the center. does he only have problems with conceptualizing the whole of what's going to happen (involving pre-snap decision-making) or can it come down to a momentary firing of a synapse where two guys are double-teaming him and he has to decide which one to block based on a working cognitive perception of what the defense is trying to do?

there are all questions i don't think any of us can really answer, as none of us (to my knowledge) are experts in neurological disorders, and none of us know the specifics of campbell's limitations.

      Renfrow is like a litmus test for Bryce and Dave's misses. And Ejiro's D is no D at all

      And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.

      Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant

      But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
