Warhead36 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 What's most interesting about that vid is how much responsibility Mayhew seems to have. We all kinda assume he's just a GM in name only but its kinda like him and Rivera are running things together. Its kinda like Veach and Reid in Kansas City or Schneider and Carroll in Seattle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to hear a mention of Percy soon as, eventually, we may need him. The jump from college FB to the NFL cannot be overstated, and can take time. Guess we’ll see, and hope he “gets it”.

Unless they learned something in the past 3 days of camp to today that changed the Chase prognosis, it's a self inflicted mistake. He didn't have to say anything today about not being ready for the season. But he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDibbs31 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'd go to camp one day if I had the opportunity. Didnt even know about the lottery. No argument that the excitement for this franchise has fallen off a cliff but I think the training camp attendance this year is more the result of a botched effort by the front office. Another mark on Jason Wright's resume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Time for Montez to step up. If he wants that coin; he’s going have to be our top guy, since Chase likely not available the first month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo'sRangers Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Dan has created a running joke to all media in every way imaginable. It’s just ****ing sad to be honest. He, and basically he alone, has single handily destroyed a storied and revered franchise. He should sell us out of mercy and just fade away into wealthland. Frankly, he was just a lucky SOB in the right time, with enough capital, to get into a hot market, sell, and profit enough to buy a NFL Franchise. He has failed at every other single business venture. He is basically bad, at everything, but just got lucky once. How I rue the day that he had the means to buy us. I just don’t see us ever getting out from under his dark cloud, ever. He is the reason I really don’t give a **** now. Dark days indeed. I detest him to his core. Sorry for the rant. **** you Dan Snyder. 5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I don't think people are giving Dan or the FO enough **** for this botched lottery - complete and UTTER MARKETING FAILURE on their part!

Marketing 101: New product. Gotta get people excited. Open up the gates and let everyone in. Who the **** cares about parking. Park on the side of the road. Park in front of the facility. Park on the grass. GET THE HYPE MACHINE GOING. GET THE TEAM OUT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE. Don't hold it behind closed doors and lock it off to those with access. What egghead marketing doofus thought that one up? "People are apathetic about us. We have a lot of scandal and turmoil. The organization is in trouble. You know what we need? We need to piss the already angry fans off some more, and lock off training camp. Only 4 lucky winners can see them every day."

I don't think that's right about suite holders. It was a public session from what I heard. The reason it was so low was because of "lack of" parking. Also many accuse Nicki of "posting the wrong angle" and that there were more people there -- false accusation!

My opinion, let's try to keep Dan out of the training camp thread, unless he shows up and starts taking 3rd team reps at LB, which I believe is still a team need. Maybe he's so short on cash, he will need to call his own number to fill in. He is a little undersized, though.... So when that happens, I'd be happy to discuss him in the Training Camp thread. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your letting us down bro Scatback would probably have been a better option. But since this is a football thread, and we need back LBs, that's where my mind went. FWIW, I would LOVE to see Dan try and play LB. (And then get trucked by an OL.) 2 minutes ago, Riggo'sRangers said: Apologies. A moment in time. Won’t happen again.

That sounds about right as the timeline would fit the rehab. In order to heal ligaments it takes a long time and the only thing that can speed that up is rHGH (which is a PED for NFL players). This is dumb and antiquated because clinically it's a prescribed treatment for major trauma and post surgery. 6 hours ago, Skinsinparadise said: The vibe I get on this listening to various beat guys talk about it -- 4-6 games give or take. Seems like all the beat guys say they are hearing Logan is ahead of Chase and has a shot to start the season. Logan's ACL surgery apparently wasn't as serious as Chase's surgery Also makes sense and his timeline could have a wider range. Problems with tendonitis can emerge during rehab from overuse issues where a guy is immobilized and has muscle atrophy as a result. Attempts to make endurance progress can have secondary consequences like inflammatory conditions. This is why you'd be seeing him wear a sleeve. Trai Turner with a Quad strain? Not good. 1-3 weeks for a minor quad. Any AG side field news? Seems a bit hush-hush. Curtis Samuel count is 2.5 practice days in a row. Might be a sort of pitch count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they seem to work well together and Rivera trusts him to work the phones and represent the team in trade talks. But it’s also clear they’d had talks in the lead-up to the draft about potential packages that may be on the table if certain players were available (normal S.O.P.), so they already narrowed down the priority of certain potential moves behind closed doors and just had to decide between the options that manifested on the day of. So it’s not like Mayhew really made that choice himself. You can also see Rivera make the final call on Dotson vs. Green, Mayhew actually leads with mentioning Green, then they mention them both, then Rivera dictates Dotson as the final choice. The interesting part to me was that they did have two teams on the phone who wanted us to trade back a second time, but we preferred Dotson. I think we kinda knew we had other opportunities, but it’s nice to see just how much we valued him in that 16 spot. All in all, it was nice to see Doug doing a job he’s actually qualified for, mentoring suits him. Though of course it’s easy to imagine that some players and their entourage probably give him the old “sure pops whatever you say” and blow him off, it’s also easy to see that if they find the right personalities he’s capable of forming that bond, which is a good thing to have in the FO. It was also good to see that Hurney was basically posted up at a table in the corner, not actively involved in moment-to-moment decision-making in the war room. That’s what I’d hoped for in my head, more of a consultant and comfortable figure for Rivera than a real part of the brain trust on draft day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Loved the segment. Ron probably won’t lead us to the promised land (Snyder blows), but I love the guy and I’m happy he is our coach. It actually feels like our FO is a professional group for once. It doesn’t mean I like or agree with everything they do, but the process seems appropriate. If this team could ever get out of QB purgatory, we could be a fun squad to watch. Loved seeing a positive mention of Sam Howell, no matter who it comes from. Side note: Samuel off the line of scrimmage is a lightning bolt. Quickest guy on the team. His speed is silly.
