SHOW ME THE LIGHT! How have Star and Short looked in Training Camp

From what it appears, after reading numerous write ups about camp is that Short has been surprisingly good. Star seems a little out of shape, but is holding his own. The DT position is probably the hardest to evaluate in "semi-contact" drills.

It has been quoted numerous times that Short is very explosive and quick for his size. We will know more about star after the preseason game I am sure

When we drafted the two....KK always seemed like the one who could shine early. Star is a good all around DT but wasn't known for his pass rush. KK was arguably the best at that in the draft....and that pass rush gives him the ability to stand out better IMO. Doesn't mean he is better overall....Star just can do some non sexy stuff

Just having guys in the middle to hold their ground, eat up blocks, and not get pushed back will be a huge upgrade. Kuechly may have close to 200 tackles this year if Star and Short are as advertised

Reports have been that Star looks tired, out of shape, and Amini completely dominated him a few days ago at practice. 

 

 

 

Haven't heard all that much from Short besides a few tweets saying that he looks good and explosive.

I didnt hear that star was out of shape, just that he's adjusting to the speed. And I can't remember if it was sunday or saturday but zod tweeted that star actually got the better of Amini that day. I'm not sure that means much at this point but we'll see how star has adjusted come preseason.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
