Any word on where Lorenzo is playing? I know he was OLB last year but I remember reading something about him transitioning inside.

Well I do think we all know the rumors about him moving to ILB this year. Don't think he'll be starting, but I'm definitely excited to see what Perry Riley can do.

Hey nothing wrong with ES. I post there all the time under the names OldFan, VeryOldSenileFan, Om, LavarLeap56, and TK :) Not to mention like 473 other user names. I'm personally responsible for 95% of the flame wars on ES mainly because most of them are me fighting with myself.

I don't always post on ES but when I do have multiple personalities.

Classic, I don't know if you're aware of this guy Tucker Max -- basically, he used to study law and for one of his summer associate jobs, he found out that the firm he would work for was paying like 300 or something less a week than the standard. He went on this forum where law students post salaries and had a flame war against the firm using various pseudo-usernames and got the firm to change the salary.

Just to prevent any confusion with the one or two people that may come across my joke of a post, I don't actually have a bunch of SN's on ES. I have one (Dirtbag59) from 2005 or 2006 that is probably deactivated by now and has a whopping 0 post. And ironically I actually kind of like ES. Only problem is they have WAY to many trolls over there, so you have to sort through way to much crap to get to the good stuff.

That is pretty funny though about Tucker Max.

I'm on ES too, and I have somewhere in the area of 350 posts, although I haven't posted there in a few years. Their color scheme hurts my eyes, I hate the dark background, compounded by the big signatures and all the colors going on there. Not going to say anything bad about the forum members, just that it isn't my cup of tea.

well you can greasemonkey a new color scheme onto ES and that problem will go away. good luck feeding the trolls though.

lol, probably ... but his stories are hilarious. I don't really care if they are true, as long as they make me laugh. On the douchebag front, no argument from me, the guy is a piece of s*** and I would never be friends with him but again, doesn't keep his stories from being funny

For a second there I thought you were talking about Ross Tucker. lol. Still yeah, I agree, Tucker Max is basically a waste of life with exaggerated stories. I guess if you take them as exaggerated true stories it's great but if you take it word for word it's pretty foolish.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

So apparently Beck has been up and down since Saturday.

It seems that Saturday he was struggling with deep throws:

Today he seemed to do better:
"Chris Russell
Beck looks his best this am, while back peddling to his left. Just hooked up with @HankTime85 on nice throw & Niles earlier best sideline."

But then this happened...
"Chris Russell
Beck just threw 2 picks to DHall in 7-on-7 work, one long & one short. #Redskins . Also had a wild overthrow of Gaffney."

[quote=Mattyk;816598]LL is only 7 months back from surgery, no need to rush him.[/quote]

I'm surprised at you.

He did not have surgery, it was some sort of shockwave threapy and blood plasma/platelet transfusion procedure thing...instead of surgery.


I really hope he doesn't start the year on the PUP list. This would be a huge blow...OJA and LL are going to be a big part of the defense's success or failure.

I hear Hankerson is looking really solid again today. Saturday as a blocker, today as a receiver

Surgery on his wrist. Shockwave therapy for his achilles

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Well the achilles is the camp issue, correct?

I suppose

Also, it seems that Gano may have heard about the possible Shayne Graham signing...

Mixed reviews on Beck today. Still pretty sharp on the short to intermediate routes. Inconsistent on the deep passes.

[quote=SmootSmack;817812]Mixed reviews on Beck today. Still pretty sharp on the short to intermediate routes. Inconsistent on the deep passes.[/quote]

He got picked off twice by DHall according to reports and seemed to be underthrowing and overthrowing his receivers a lot -- I am putting that down to getting into rhythm with all the new receivers though, not too much to worry about this early

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

[quote=SmootSmack;817812]Mixed reviews on Beck today. Still pretty sharp on the short to intermediate routes.

If he's needing to make throws over 20 yds for us to win...we've got problems.

Well, the Shanahans like to attack all over the field. If Beck gimps the playbook, let's say he won't last too long here.

Chances are he will...we already have a problem.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

It doesn't seem to me like Beck can't hit the deep stuff when he needs to. I mean, it's not like Matt Schaub has the world's biggest arm, but he can stretch the field when he needs to. It seems like most of his misses are a result of not having the timing down with his wide receivers, especially since it seems like he's overthrowing people. Seems like hes getting better, though. Won't know anything until they put full pads on, though.

I was at camp today; I have to say, J. Beck looked pretty solid on deep balls, surprisingly. He missed on both, but in both instances, i'd blame the recievers. A. Armstrong missed a perfectly placed over the shoulder catch and L. Hankerson caught a pass just out of bounds.

J. Beck, however, did have two D. Hall interceptions literally back to back.

Yeah? I heard he had a couple of floaters that the receivers had to come back to get.

But if you were there I will defer to you

Peter Kings supposed to be there today.
