Training Camp and the Preseason

Were on nfln inside training camp live.


Bold statement. Pass rush will be better this year.
If our secondary continues their success from last season this year, opposing teams better PRAY DAILY that the football gods don't allow our defense to field a better pass rush than last season.

I was a little bummed about RG3, but you all are starting to pump me up!
 
I am absolutely loving what I am hearing about Boykin! And if Hollywood can do his thing.....damn, pour me a drink!
 
Willie Snead is out saying Boykin looks like Michael Thomas. If he has half the season that MT has next year, we'll be in great shape
Im not a fan of thomas tbh. He is a good wr but nothing really standa out to me other than the plays that payton draws up for him

I love me some Michael Thomas but he also benefits from being the primary option of Drew Brees and quite frankly I would be thrilled if Lamar could be 1/3 the QB Drew Brees is because to me he is one of the all time underateds because I consider him an all time great who never gets put on that pedestal.
 
The fact that we are looking at josh johnson is a big sign of what our offense gonna be like

hes literally coming in to be a camp body... we need someone to take at least some of the preseason week 4 snaps as well as all the 3rd team offence reps and we have had josh johnson in the building before, he's also been in a couple of roman offences before too and started last year for the redskins - him coming in is more about bodies that can throw the ball than anything about what our offence looks like or will look like

Michael Thomas is a crafty and sharp route runner, and is big bodied and plays like it, with adequate speed and quickness to play the boundary and not just be a big slot.

Michael Thomas isn’t just a brees product, he’s a top of tier 2 kinda guy and is as well rounded as they come.
 
So apparently the offensive line was a disaster yesterday committing near nonstop penalties and just basically being a revolving door. Figure we lacked a Sunday training camp update...

Second and third team lines yes. This is the part of the year where the elimination of two-a-days really hurts. Trenches are all about physicality and having 50% as many practices in pads slows down the progression.

Combine all that with the fact that Roman is essentially throwing an encyclopedia of plays at them every day and you have a recipe for mental mistakes. I won’t be worried unless we’re still hearing about this kind of stuff after a couple preseason games.
 
Jaylon Ferguson needs to make major strides in preseason or else he’s gonna be a healthy scratch all year.

He is exactly what I feared he would be. Guys were playing full pads and enough contact to show pass rush potential and he showed none, he tried to bulrush and showed nothing else, and his bulrush failed against backups, senat who is a finesse kind of tackle with the length and quick feet stood him up so easily it was laughable. I see Ferguson’s potential but I’m more worried about him now than I was when we made the pick. I expected he would show something but he showed absolutely nothing
 
Hopefully we can find out soon, they said it is possible that the doctors could clear him as early as next week.

I think they said this last week which would mean he should be cleared sometime this week. At the very least, I'd be surprised if he isn't cleared by the first preseason game.
