Really good practice today at Wofford. The weather wasn't to hot, and the mosquitoes were manageable.

When I arrived Star Lotulelei was getting some one on one mentoring from a defensive coach. He was fine tuning his hand placement and shedding blocks. Star appears to be self motivated and a student of the game. These two things are as important as his physical traits, if not more so.

Luke Kuechly stopped on the way in to sign a few autographs. The fans love this guy. Luke appears to go to the kids first for autographs, as he should.

Posted Image

Rivera lit a fire under the team today. He apparently wanted a more uptempo practice. Very little time was taken between snaps, sometimes not even allowing players to leave the field after their rotation.

Posted Image

The offensive line remains my biggest concern. I have to think Gettleman is on the phone and the wire daily.

Posted Image

Cam continues to have his best camp yet. He is clowning around less, and showing more leadership. I think he may be maturing a bit.

Posted Image

Barner is a shifty guy. He is 5'9 which isn't very short, but he runs much lower than that. He disappears easily behind the offensive line and gives the defensive players only shoulder pads and legs to grab on to. Good stuff.

Posted Image

Greg Olsen is far and away our best Tight End. I am struggling to find something about the other guys worth mentioning.

Posted Image

Gettis had an up and down day. While he did ok in individual drills, he had some drops when being defended. He is also very slow to get up after hitting the ground. I just don't know if this guy has the grit needed for the NFL.

Posted Image

The good news is Brandon Lafell is having his best camp so far. He is catching everything near him and following it through with YACs.

Posted Image

You just can't help but pull for Pilares. That guy gives it everything he has on every play. He just needs to improve his consistency with positive results.

Posted Image

For some reason Armond Smith did a TD "point to the sky" move during a typical routine drill. Made me laugh, don't know why.

Posted Image

There is some good news regarding the offensive line. They were able to open up some pretty big holes today for the running backs.

Posted Image

The offensive line a few times had a hard time containing Star. Jeff Byers here isn't showing effective technique I don't think.

Posted Image

I like Lafell's LSU shoes and gloves. I don't like our secondary being abused by them.

Posted Image

Jerry RIchardson and Jerry West. I am pretty pumped up that I got to meet West. My dad, who is from WV, will be more pumped up.

Posted Image

Blackburn saw time today with the starting LB's. He is listed at 6'3 but seems much taller than that. He also has a great motor and is vocal on the field.

Posted Image

Ginn and HIxon's stock was on the rise today. Both made some really nice grabs under tight coverage. They may be pulling away from the pack. Armanti had a nice touchdown catch, but I notified him that he only had one foot in bounds. He laughed a bit.

There is your camp update for 7-29-13.

Nice pic of West and Richardson.

 

Nice quote from West on Cam

 

 

 

“He’s not quite big enough to be a power forward,’’ West said. “He’s a really nice kid and I think his best years are ahead of him. Obviously, Mr. Richardson thinks the world of him. It’s up to him at this period of his life to grow as a player and make everyone around him better. I think he’s going to be the type of player that everyone anticipates he’s going to be and lead this team to really a lot higher level.’’

so is that the second time star has put amini on the ground?

 

2-1 Star

 

Amini is a powerful SOB. His problems last year were not physical, they were mental. When he knew his assignment, he was a beast and often manhandled vet defenders.

 

If Star is consistently putting Amini on the ground... watch the F*** out!

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette with Pick 32

      By Tbe · Posted

      This team once again got tunnel vision on one guy. This might be my biggest issue with the trade. It points to the same behavior that led us to drafting the fewest prospects in the league over the past 3 years. They need to let the draft come to them and stop chasing ‘their guys’.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette with Pick 32

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Buffalo was in need of a WR, and after Pearsall was drafted, the Panthers may have figured that a team needing a WR (like the Panthers, for example) could trade up with Buffalo to get the fifth year option at the end of the first round.  Look at the teams picking early in the second round and look at the big board.  There is going to be a run on WRs.  This not only provided the Panthers with the fifth-year option, but it assured them that nobody was going to deal with Buffalo, and Buffalo was not going to take Legette.  So Bean decided to upgrade his day three sixth rounder to a fifth, and Morgan got his guy and the fifth year option.  Win Win.  Obviously Buffalo was open for business, so if you consider the fact that Buffalo might have been getting calls for the pick, Morgan switched places with Buffalo.  It is likely that Buffalo did not want to drop farther than 33, so they dealt with Carolina--dealing with anyone else would risk losing Mitchell, the guy they probably covet (or Ladd).  The ONLY team who was assured they are not going to lose their guy is Buffalo.  I am not sure this deal goes down unless Morgan tells Bean who he was going to take and that Beane trusted Morgan's word.  After pick 33.... Pick 34.  New England needs a receiver. Pick 36.  Washington needs a receiver. Pick 37.  Chargers need multiple receivers. Pick 44.  Raiders need a receiver. Pick 45. Saints need a receiver. The NFL Draft ESPN Big board for "Best Remaining" Players features 3 Wide Receivers in the next 7 picks.  I am guessing that Buffalo wants Mitchell, and when the Panthers decided to go with Legette, they were willing to deal.
