Ok...so last weekend I posted a message about signing draftees and mentioned that we apparently weren't so close to signing Brown. Within an hour, Brown signed. Earlier this week, I made the oh so funny crack about Irvin and his banana puddin, and within an hour he signed. Apparently, I have some connection with Marty. So, today's the day to get our last boy in there. Martin, you're on the clock...

Well, MB, you forgot to add a wise crack and/or pessimistic statement about our lone draftee, so that means you've jinxed him to a potential holdout! ;)

My poor attempt at humor aside, I think Martin will be signed by Friday (no later than Saturday).

P.S. Is that the Marvel Comics hero Black Panther in your avatar? If so, it's very cool IMO.

That is true...the other two posts were made out of boredom during the slow period. I'm sure the fact that it's been 100+ out here in TX every day for the last two months hasn't helped much, either. Things are ramping up, though, now as the end of the week approaches. I'm looking forward to reading some great training camp reports soon.

That is Black Panther in my avatar. He was a bad ass, just like our boys. I've seen one other BP avatar, using artwork rather than a figure, though.

There isn't a single one of the draft picks that I don't think will show up and be lazy. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is one of the best overall draft classes that the team has ever had (at least from first impressions) and every one of these guys seems ready to make an impact. Was hoping they would all be signed at least five days before camp. The sooner Martin signs, the better.

I keep reading every day about players for other teams who still haven't signed, many of whom are now missing camp practices. Our FO has done an excellent job the last couple of years of drafting not only good talent, but good character players.

I think that is one of the biggest strengths of this organization and one of the main reasons that Richardson is one of the more respected owners in the league. There's no circus atmosphere here...well, at least, there is very little circus atmosphere here.

Hell, even the Beason holdout and the Peppers drama have been relatively small headaches recently.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
