You Got Training Camp Questions? Slingin Sammy's Got the Answers

Does Orakpo look like he's already the best guy out there at SAM? And how do Fincher/Blades/Thomas/Wilson/McIntosh look in comparison? Who looks like they're gonna be the guy on third down, does McIntosh have it locked up along with Fletcher?

Who looking sharper, Suisham or Rayner? Who's looking like a special team beast(s) to replace Thrash and Campbell? What's the kick off return look like now that there's no wedge? What your favorite pie again?

How is Campbell's read, react, release? Does he still hold the ball till there is an open reciever, or does he let it fly in anticipation of an open receiver with what he is reading? How does this compare to the other QB's read reaction time? Is Campbell still dumping off short passes to Cooley and ARE underneath, or is he looking down field for longer passes regularly? Are recievers getting open for/catching the longer routes/passes?
Great idea for a thread guys, can't wait to read your posts!

I would like to know what player(s) the coaches are getting on the most.

I would also like to know who is the biggest jokester on the team.

Also, you can probably tell pretty quick which players don't even belong. Maybe you could predict the first round of cuts?

Thanks SS33.

Ill be there on Wednesday, too, Sammy! Maybe we'll run into each other.
You'll be able to pick me out easily. SS33

Your account with her is dry 8 months into the year? Pace yourself man.
I've got a running tab, I just hate to see it when it's cashed out. The last time the tab got cashed we wound up in Atlantis for 4 days.

Thanks Sammy & Smootsmack.

Here's my question (s) (btw, I almost started a thread on this, but figured the answer would come as camp went along):

HB Blades; what are their plans for this guy?
Specifically, is he competing for a starting spot at OLB (doesn't sound like it) or working as backup to London. If the latter, are there any packages w/the starting unit where he replaces London other than the goal line D?

So here's the deal post all your questions about particular players, schemes, coaches, concession stands, whatever and when SS33 comes back from training camp on Wednesday he'll start a new thread with his answers. He'll start the thread but I know others may be attending and can help answer questions as well.



What formations are used and how often are they used with a focus on the pass plays.

This will probably be fairly intensive question because you probably need a pen and paper to chart this stuff.
For example
I-Form: 14 pass plays
I-Form: 3 WR: 12 pass
I-Form: 1 WR, 2 TE (stacked): 14 pass
Singleback 2 TEs, 2 WR:14 pass
Singleback 3 WRs:15 pass
etc.....

Can you keep an eye on the depth of the QBs drops and if the ball is coming out on time at the end of their drops?
I'm curious to see which depth 3, 5 or 7 is used the most and which depth has the most success.

Also, could you keep an eye on which routes are used/completed?
Last year out offense was mostly hitches,quick hitches, slants, quick slants, deep comeback and fly/go routes.
Are we mixing in some post routes, seam routes(slot), corner routes?

Looks like SS33 is going to have his hands full tomorrow :)

Remember, he will try to answer as many questions as possible but may not get to all of them. Luckily, Daseal will be there to help.

Here's another question: Word is M. Williams is already slipping down the depth chart and getting less reps while Bridges moves up. That seem to be the case?

How is Lorenzo Alexander doing? I haven't heard anything about him yet. And is he playing DE and DT?
