Similar to yesterday apparently. Missing reads/throws, a few picks. Not sure if it's just a random bad day or two, or if the defense is just catching on to the O's tricks. Hopefully, they're working on something new and this is learning curve. Training camp isn't the worst time to practice what the team doesn't do well.

Better to do that at camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 2 hours ago, zskins said: So the starters are Colt, Keenum and Haskins (in that order) with Doctson, Richardson and Quinn as your WR. Hmmm.... Interesting. I wouldn't put much into that starting roster list that was put out. It's too early. Remember last year, Gruden joked that he didn't make it. Tony Wylie did. I do know that Gruden said that there was a good chance that not all the QBs would play this Thursday in Cleveland. My wild guess would be McCoy will sit. He is still coming back from that badly broken leg, and Gruden in press interviews sounds like he feels Colt hasn't gotten enough reps yet.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Is there a list of who is practicing and who is getting a rest day? Sweat, McCoy, Christian, Brailford, Roullier, Richardson, Guice, Thompson, Reed, etc etc have I think all been given days off or limited snaps in camp as a precaution. Are any of these considered worrisome or just normal prudence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna bulldoze over tacklers in the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him come in once at FB so I assume so unless Flanagan makes the team considering I saw them experiment with him, too on that front. I just read the article and unless am missing it that's the third season in a row where I read Ryan is working on being in better shape. I recall reading he was out of shape his rookie year in camp but worked on getting into better shape during the season. Then last year recall reading he's taking being in shape more seriously. Now ditto this season? Sort of a strange narrative. He doesn't come off in those narrative as a dude that goes 100 miles in hour as to prepping his body. It brings me back to his combine which he basically bombed -- he was slow and had poor agility -- but attributed to that he's not a combine guy. All these articles about him now taking his body more seriously is striking to me in light of the combine narrative from years back. Finlay was saying either today or maybe it was yesterday that Anderson isn't standing out in camp. I am not down on Anderson personally but it seems like a now or never year for him if he's going to emerge as a starter type. PFF liked his play last year versus the run so that's good - but hopefully he gets some sacks when he has opportunities this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they currently have him listed ahead of Sweat on the depth chart...which of course doesn't mean much right now. But I'm sure that won't last long.

Sweat is this athletic freak and Anderson is a poor athlete for the position but makes up for by being a try hard guy. I am ok with Anderson but i'd put my money on Sweat.

Daniels was a freak in terms of his build -- he was like a DT playing end. Daniels emerged as a starter for part of his career - and that hasn't happened for Anderson, yet. I am ok with Anderson but all of these articles about him now taking being in shape seriously seem a little odd to me. Also, I didn't love the narrative of him showing up out of shape (according to some including even Jay hinting at it) during his rookie year. The last time I recall reading about a rookie showing up to camp out of shape was Devin Thomas -- who got called out by Zorn about it at the time. Anyway hopefully this is Anderson's year. I love the narrative about the dude being the angry warrior. It's good that he's decent against the run but hopefully he upgrades his pass rush this year, too. I am not really sweating it though (pun intended) because I think Sweat is going to be a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too. Also like I said it makes me harken back to how defiant he was about how bad his combine numbers were -- maybe it had something to do with him being out of shape versus his line that "he doesn't do combine but he's a football player"? 🙄 Nonetheless, if he's in good shape now maybe it portends well for him. Maybe Finlay has it out for him but this is also the third camp in a row where he said he's not standing out. Granted Finlay's take is far from the be all and end all. When I was in camp I didn't really pay attention to Anderson so I don't have my own take, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m thinking more, let’s get all our horses out on the field and see what they can do. Sweat would be starting for me, but just on a very few amount of snaps.

Stadium-Armory Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 To be fair, the pre-draft scuttlebutt on Anderson was that he was good against the run. Specifically setting the edge. And not great getting after the QB. In that sense, he is sort of like PD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
