Training Camp


Disinfranchised

Recommended Posts

I drove down from the Triangle last Monday.

 

It was hot as poo, I should have brought more water and Cam barely got any snaps.

 

I'd still do it again. Spartanburg seemed kinda small with not much around though.

 

If you are going to stay for a night or two you got to stay in Greenville. Alot to do here Spartanburg sucks!

i have gone every year for the past 8 years, about a 4 and half hour drive. usually stay 4 days, staying in spartanburg. a trip to the BMW plant is always cool. this is the first year i have forgone autographs. i got tired of players looking like was a dealer or something. truth is, i have never and wont sell anything i have gotten signed. besides how many times do i need jordan gross' autograph? i was able to get cam's once and consider that the biggest score of all my trips as he is a hard get, rookie year too!. i am an avid photographer, so my trips now consist of me shooting the team/players (they showed me on the fenceline shooting on last weeks episode of the panther huddle). its a good time to just get away, relax, watch the guys get ready for the season and most importantly have fun. glad you enjoyed it and had some success with the autographs. it was nice not be lugging anything around other than my camera. in that heat, the less to carry the better.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
