WFT 2020 Training Camp

Sprinkles other problem is he counts more ($2.2m) on the cap than the others and it is the last year of his rookie deal. He has had three years to show something, I would prefer my 3rd TE to have some upside and be cheap like Moss or Hentges (sp?). I don't think there is enough talent there to warrant keeping a fourth TE, if we need a replacement during the season those on the FA market are going to be just as good I think. So if he is not the starter of principle backup/blocking TE I don't think you can justify keeping him at that salary.

Ron Rivera said he wants his team to play fast and he was disappointed at times with the tempo. Saw some good things too but he wants his guys aware of the situation and players to know their assignments.

Practice is ending and Ron Rivera is dressing down his team for standing around confused during portions of drills. Delivered a loud “get in your book and study”

This much is obvious - D line depth is much better than O line depth

Troy Apke has gotten a ton of work with first team defense paired with Landon Collins.

I imagine Ron Rivera yelling at you to "get in your book and study!" sounds and is received a little bit different than Jay.

Lol definitely. As in listen to me or I will cut you.

Interesting to hear about Apke. Know he's athletic for sure. Love hearing the reports about Haskins. Kid wants it and that is great to hear.

"In the first practice open to the media, one improvement jumped out under new coach Ron Rivera: There was more crispness and urgency during practice than in years past. Players hustled between drills; that wasn’t always the case in previous years. Safety Landon Collins said there was more intensity than last year. Also, at the end, coach Ron Rivera told the players a list of areas he wanted to see improved, including attention to detail. Then he told the rookies: Get more in the playbook."

I like hearing that Rivera is pushing the players to change the lazy, slow pace, no sense of urgency attitude that existed under Gruden.

Right on the money. Many players (coming from other NFL teams) were shocked at the slow pace of practices under Gruden. In addition, Gruden was Uber-soft. Players were not challenged in his practices. In my opinion, that’s why the team always started off the season slow and they could not get up for the big games. Teams like the Patriots finished practice by running hills.

In the fighter pilot world, “You practice as you fight”. Football is the same, which is why I’m happy that Rivera has emphasized a fast tempo in practice, and yelled at the players who were just standing around. Killing the Gruden, lazy ass practice tempo will take a little time but players will appreciate it later when they start winning games.

Yeah, listened to this episode of Finlay's podcast and among other interesting things I loved how Steven Sims JR repeatedly said how coach Rivera was a "there's a time for fun and there's a time for football" coach, that he wanted things done his way, and that you had do to what coach Rivera said...
You can feel in his voice it's less funny and way more strict than under Jay.

Interesting episode after 1st public padded practice

JP Finlay made a way too early bold prediction saying you can lock Wes Martin down as your starting LG. Love it !

Chase is throwing offensive linemen already.

I expect something like this from Young in the training camp, I would be excited if he did that to Tyron Smith, Terron Armstead or Ronnie Stanley in real games.

Chase Young dealing with hip injury

Not looking too serious but still hate that feeling...

If Chase gets hurt this team will never be good again , that karma would just be too much to defeat

You guys do this every year. It is practice and take it with a grain of salt. Docston was killing it in practice a few years ago, as was Pryor.. lol.

The problem with pessimists like you is that you are usually right (lol). I guess that makes you a realist, now that I think about.

Although I tend to think like you during the regular season, right now I prefer to be overly optimistic about the players and root for them to succeed. I love it when young men like Terry McLaurin and Matty Ice establish themselves as quality NFL players.

I'd like to know which developing young players and 2020 draftees you think could emerge as significant contributors to the team.
