Interesting take. I don't think he was as under the radar as you make him seem. His stats last season were notable and I expect his production to remain the same if not improve.
Gasser tests are insane. Players are generally sorted into skill, semi-skill and lineman. Skill and semi-skill usually follow the following breakdown
-Gasser (width of the field and back) Skill: sub 18 seconds / Semi: sub 19 seconds
-35 second rest
- Gasser
-35 second rest
(repeat until 10 gassers completed)
*Players are now allowed an additional second for each gasser and rest time jumps to 45 seconds*
-Gasser S: sub 19 seconds SS: sub 20 seconds
-45 second rest
(continues until 20 total gassers are completed)
Note: Different programs follow different procedures for what 'passing' is. When I played college ball we used this test for 3 of my 4 years. Failing one gasser was allowed but two disqualified you. I've also heard this test being used with no failures or many failures as long as the are non-consecutive. My guess would be they allow zero failures.
Lineman may follow a similar procedure with longer rest and gasser times.

Mrags, Astro, etc, I missed having the reports today guys. Makes you appreciate all the work some people do for those who cannot attend camp. Special thanks to those guys who devote hours to the study and write ups!
cheers to you all

Jumping in late here.
I'd take Thad based on performance last year. He wasn't that bad.
Tuel wasn't terrible as some people suggested. However made unforgettable mistakes in crucial moments.
Thad is 2.
My schedule just opened up for this Friday and I am interested in going to camp. Looking for 1-4 tickets if anyone has extra. Ticketmaster seems to be sold out. PM me or message here if you have extra.
I appreciate any help, guys!

I see that as well. Something about his production increase last season and this being a possible contract extension year leads me to believe likewise.
This might be the most accurate post I've read recently. I played four years of college ball and some of the best lineman worked with were excellent holders.
"He's not even that good" I believe is a little hasty. He's shown flashes of top tier quality and has get to unleash his full potential. If he ever does or not is yet to be seen. But saying he can be easily replaced is a little bit of a stretch in my opinion. We cannot simply keep turning players over. We need to retain, and in this case, reform his character so that his game will excel. I wouldn't be so quick to throw in the towel.
20 passes a game @ 60% completion percentage, move the chains, not turn the ball over...aka manage the game.
I believe he has the potential to be much better but this is the floor for our success
Thanks for all the great notes for guys like me who could not make it. I'm excited about Bryce Brown. Good to hear Sammy is earning his worth early. I'm curious as to how EJ looked overall.
