Training Camp

Though there are some lifts you can do to help prevent ligament tears, it's hard to say that it would have done anything for the guys who went down. The lateral movement and contact are pretty much always going to put knees at risk.

You know what @Sami84, it doesn't matter what we are discussing. If the majority of people say one thing, you will say the opposite.

It's simpler than that, whatever opinion is the most negative even if it's not based in reality (my favorite is still the magical QB who carries offenses who honestly doesn't exist outside of GB) is the position he will take.

Shh... don't tell him that players also get tackled in football. That might trigger him
 
It doesn't seem as if Harbaugh is all in on Correa to this point. Has anyone been able to study his performance snap to snap that might do a breakdown?

15 players not practicing today. Humphrey likely re-injured his hamstring. This team is running out of time. Harbaughs over the top conditioning has probably created soft tissue issues as they probably all have muscle fatigue.

Put a fork in this team. They cannot stay healthy. None of them. Stanley is still out too.

Fullback battle

I think a more probable option is the "no fullback" option. It seems like neither Taliaferro or Ortiz has really been able to seize the job and Ricard's use may be pretty limited (though he does appear more likely to make the roster than Tali/Ortiz imo). We've definitely seen a lot of snaps with TEs in the backfield (Maxx and Donnell) and I think West, Woodhead and Allen are all roster locks at this point, so I dont really see a true fullback slipping onto the roster at this point.

It also took Juice a year to get to where he was iirc, so maybe keep Ortiz on the PS and let him develop. Then see where he is next year.
 
One guy we haven't talked about, and that is quietly having a strong preseason imo is UDFA LB Bam Bradley. IIRCC He had a sack vs WAS, a tackle in the backfield, a PD and a big tackle on ST against MIA... He plays agressive and looks like a really solid depth player with Onwuasor in case Correa doesn't pan out.

i havent been paying enough attention but the way he plays suggests to me he's probably good on special teams

As I said, I've noted (and I hope I didn't confuse him with Donald Payne but I don't think I did) one really good open field tackle on a punt or kick return where he was basically one on one with the RS and still managed a great, punishing and clean tackle before the RS could get some yardage.
 
What the hell John Harbaugh!?!?!
Todays practice CANCELED!!!!! So the team can go to The Pentagon?
Really?
What does The Pentagon have to do with football?
Nothing I will tell you !!! We have a season to get ready for, we don't have time to go sightseeing.
We might as well tank the whole season.
We are doomed.

Yes. Complete and sarcasm.

trust Harbaugh to brainwash his players with more patriotic mindless BS as a sideshow to getting injured.

Out of curiosity, any reason they picked the Pentagon in particular?

No clue, but it probably is a very interesting place.

But that is just one of a few places they visited. The Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier as well.

Interesting... Sounds like a pretty fun experience if nothing else. Can definitely put things in perspective.
