The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread

Scared me until I got to the word "Onion". I'm going to camp tomorrow! :D

I'm really happy about how the offensive line is coming along. I don't know if the game had passed Buges by but for some reason I think we're better off with him gone.

For one thing our O-Line is playing up against a much more aggressive 3-4 D. This will only make them better. I'm not sold on the line yet but I am satisfied that the rebuilding of the line is underway.

I would like for us to get a damn good center and another LT in the next draft. After that I think we can afford to pick one lineman a year for awhile. Dockey and Raback will not last and these other guys we picked up aren't Spring chickens. Will Robison, Rhinehardt, Williams go the distance? Will Stephanie Heyor? Will Armstrong?

I'll have to wait and see. But what I do see I like.

McNabb's Surprise (http://deadspin.com/5606607/)

I like the progress Edwin Williams is making. Not too surprised though. No particular reason for thinking this, but it wouldn't surprise me if Kory L. wins the starting RG job.

The real question mark to me is Chad Rinehart. In way to me he's like Kelly, time to step up or step off

I thought Barnes wasn't doing that great. Then I read this...

*Put RG/C Edwin Williams in the group of players that have taken a noticeable step forward (CB Kevin Barnes and FS Kareem Moore are in it, too.)

Buges didn't have a RT worth anything to work with by the end of his tenure and Samuels was deteriorating even without the hit that ended his career because his knee was giving him trouble. Then Randy Thomas was injured at the worst of times and the backups were terrible.

Really, the blame falls on whoever was that genius who traded away picks and hoped to depend almost entirely on the UDFA pool and wtf-turrible practice squad scrubs like D'Anthony Batiste to provide the team with its offensive linemen.

I thought Barnes wasn't doing that great. Then I read this...

Yeah he has stepped up a lot the past couple of days. To be clear though, he has been solid all spring in run defense. But his pass defense, which is you know where his focus should be as a DB, has been suspect.

I'm hearing really good things about Terrence Austin's route running, so that's nice to hear.

And Buchanon has been a great veteran influence from what I've heard

With all the big moves in the offseason, Buchanon was one of the quietest, but I think could pay off big time. If he plays well, Id put our top 3 corners up amoung the top units in the league. There is some serious talent their.

Id love to see Shanny use T and A like he used Eddie Royal in Denver...both guys small and quick

So Smoot, at this point do you think Austin can make the roster as a 5th WR/Specialist or can he only make it if we roll with 6WR? Whats your gut feeling on the WR situation in general? My gut tells me we'll start the team with #2WR currently not on the roster, although i'm not sure who.
