I usually try to avoid Brady/Bellicheat threads like the plague - all the ball washing and hardly ever any mention at all of the cheating. It's like some Fringe alternate dimension where that aspect has been erased from human history. Mind-boggling to me

Awesome - that explains a lot thx No strong feeling either way for Dane honestly - just know that today he was Handsy McHandsFace

I think it was fully accidental from the point of view in the moment he was in instinctive pass defense mode and red jersey wouldn't normally be roaming around as a receiver during live drill. No way do I think he makes the hit if he fully processed "oh that's Josh"

My observations from camp today - The first thing I thought when I sat down with my Dad today was how excited he was last year to see the rookie punter punt! (seems like 20 yrs ago) - Went up to the top of the stands to see the players walk out of the buildings and said hi to Astro who was in his usual place there - Shorter was out early worked on the JUGS machine for a long time. One guy who was with Astro commented he's hardly ever seen a player work as hard in TC as Shorter. Isabella also came out and worked on it for a bit - Before stretching they did a half speed 2 min drill for all three 1st/2nd/3rd team units where the D was instructed basically to not play defense. Was half speed (or lower) - but still thought it was odd have never seen that much work prior to stretching - During the half speed drill Groot and Oliver spent a lot of time dicussing and going over a move with each other - When stretches started a trainer was off with Josh and working on his arm quite a bit - not sure if this is a routine they do now - Josh was shaking his arm a bit after - Lot of boring ST drills for first day in pads. On one session the QBs were running over to the side field with Josh in the lead and he kept looking over his shoulder the whole way to make sure no QB snuck up and ran past him 😛 - OL was doing a drill for a while I've never seen OL do basically a basketball box out drill - There was a drill portion where QBs rotate throwing to receivers down the field and a couple times I saw Josh motion that he wanted Sherfield to line up for his rep - Shorter is very big and noticeable out on the field running routes - They did a blocking drill where two WRs would line up w/ 2 DBs and when the whistle blew they had to run block the guy in front of them and RB would come up and try to pick hole. McD was VERY into this drill - was running side-side watching intensely the reps with hands on knees and constantly barking at them - Notes from 1-1s receivers/DBs - Isabella toasts Neal - ran right by him - dude is fast - Elam physical breakup. In general Elam was really competing hard every rep I saw of him - Patmom great grab with Benford all over him - plucked the ball out of the air and held on - Dane blatant hold - Tre great breakup on Diggs - Dane grabs Sherfield. In general seemed like Dane had his hands all over everyone every time I noticed him - Harty burns Hyde long pass - boy is fast - Davis quick slant - Poyer had no chance - Elam blanket Diggs up the sideline - more Elam competing hard - Shakir almost great catch had to turn midair but couldn't hold on - Benford very physical rep against Sherfield - Sherfield says flag - Isabella burns Neal off the line on slant was wide open but throw late and Neal revocers to knock it down - Diggs comeback on Elam. Not fair - undefendable - Majority of defense went to side field and offense spent a long time with rum blocking against 4 man front - The row I was on the aisle in the stands was likely the most active in the stadium with people constantly coming and going - c'mon people! And get off my lawn - Diggs (once again) fired up the whole practice - whenever he's not in a drill his helmet is off and he's animated and going through something with somone, anyone. As far as his play at times it just seems too easy for him - he is at another level - 11-11 - Barkley beautiful rollout throw to Morris - Bernard extremely vocal at MLB. Have seen reports from prior days that Spector vocal as well - they might be coaching up all the MLBs to be that way - Josh perfect long pass to Davis down sideline - like perfect - Dodson beautiful play completely blew up screen - Oliver destroys a play before it could even get started - seemed like almost beat the ball to the backfield - Josh loses a shotgun snap , started to take off before he really had it - there was a period of light rain so ball likely a little slick - good it is happening now and not later - Kincaid a couple nice catches seam/middle - pads didn't seem to slow him down at all today. I can see what people say about him being smooth and seemingly effortless when running and catching - Except for intial pitch to Cook, the D seemed to shut down any attempt at run game and generally seemed to be the aggressor clogging up everything and being in QBs face. I saw Tre come on corner blitz once - think D was bringing a lot more kitchen sink than normal this time of year - Von in clothes standing next to Groot in pads makes him seem normal-sized - Had seen reports of Davis slimming down - if so, his legs def didn't - they are huge. Dude def didn't forget leg day this offseason - Goal line - First play Diggs - slant - TD. Too easy - When the philly special was unfolding I saw Josh go to EZ and thought OMG Josh is going to the EZ, then Knox hesitated before he threw then I thought OMG he still threw it - then when Johnson ran him over at first I didn't know who the defender was and my first thought was OMG if that is a scrub he's cut. The worst part wasn't the initial hit but also that he landed full body weight on him. Josh didn't get up right away - first he rolled onto his back. OMG - those 3 seconds from the time he was on his back to popping up were very long ones - Finished out w/ Barkley short pass to Harris that got stopped short of goal line then shovel pass to Morris for TD - There was some little dude on the sideline - not sure if it was a players kid - if not had to be the one of the kid's greatest days ever - Diggs was yelling at him from the field then at one point (from midfield) started to run to the sideline to chase him, Tre spent a long time talking and clowning with him, Von threw some passes with him. I wish I was that kid

The whole saga of the Bills new stadium with wind confusing renderings and architecture was all an elaborate long game to get in Bellicheat's head and lose focus worrying about kickers. 4d chess

That's what she said

Hornet sting

So in next year's installment Rodgers will be filling the role of once-great old vet QB hanging on too long and going down in flames?

At the Carolina preseason game last year I met his Dad in the concourse during the rain delay and he said at that time if Brandon got cut he was going to sign with the Giants

And at the production meeting before the show they discussed nobody picking the Bills so it would generate "interest" (outrage). Greeny even said be prepared this will be screenshotted on Twitter and Bills Mafia will go crazy. These shows have become a joke - the selections the 'experts' make are mostly intended to create a stir

Enjoying the series so far - thoughts through ep 3: Never realized Mahomes is so fiery - it's cool to see more of the competitive side of his personality - definitely not just physical talent with him Loved the montage of Mahomes complimenting rushers every chance he could "If they like me maybe they won't hit me so hard" The mic'ed up on Cousins during the Bills game fighting through the pain was something else - a real inside look into guys fighting through injuries and pain (oh - and Cam Lewis wtf were you doing) Cousins comes off extremely geniune and true to his public personality - builds a special hidden room for his trophies lol Was interesting to see the levels they each go through in their own way to take care of their body - thought the Mahomes routine during the week to build up to game day readiness was fascinating How many players would love what Reid does to let players design and show off plays they've dreamed up a regular part of practice

This should be good

Dude just whacked the hornets nest - about to feel Thad Browns sting 😛

I got in queue when it opened to public at 1:00 and got tix

The cornhole sealed the deal

That's my QB

Always amazes me people bring up the Brady thing with Bellicheat but not the cheating

The Josh part was good but what a couple meat heads hosting. Always great when the interviewer says I can't think of a question and asks the interviewee to come up with something

My daughter works in corporate strategy for a major network/cable company - she recently was involved in a project assessing regional sports networks. Total mess. The biggest takeaway was that they would not be sustainable/viable with the rights currently being charged by the leagues. MLB was especially obscene

Yeah - one year we had that access and said screw it and went to the stands - then consider the regular fence is even behind that and gives an idea of what regular fan can see along the fence. The tent closest to the stands is sometimes corporate - I've was in there once and McD and Lorax came for Q&A For some years there was a VIP section in the far left stands (which sometimes included player's families - one year my son got Josh's family (and Britt ) to sign an 8x10 of the pic in my avatar) - and you could go to the VIP section down on the field in front of the stands which was good access. Last year they did away with the VIP section in the stands and all the stands were general admission
