Re: Training Camp 2018

Im pulling for taylor, like some one just said you cant have TOO much depth on the lines .... imagine the ability to rotate like a few other teams, keeping guys fresh all game without a huge drop off in performance? Thats a huge asset to any team.

Just heard Doc Walker mention Phil Taylor came into camp at 307, literally the best and quickest shape of his pro career.

At 307, and as athletic as he is, he could be a real dark horse to make the team.

How many DL will they keep? They might have someone to trade at the end of camp.

Training Camp 2018

Barring injury Taylor is up against the numbers game, had we not drafted Settle he would have a much better shot.

Allen, Payne, Ioannidis, Lanier, Settle are all locks. Hood is the favorite for the 6th spot. Possible they could keep 7 but probably unlikely.

I think it depends on special teams.
Totally agree with Meks, having a fresh DL in the 4th would be so sweet after watching our pass rush evaporate after the second half.

Agree. He has 1st round talent but It will be tough for him to make it.

Sounds like Taylor is doing the absolute best job possible to force the team to keep him. Thats all he can do, and it gives him a good chance to catch on with another team if we can't keep him. I'm rooting for the guy regardless of where he plays.

Hood’s a lock too because Settle and Lanier are specialists. 2 down run stuffer and pass rush specialist. If Allen or Ioannidis go down, Hood is the guy that replaces them.

To me the only drama is whether we decide to keep a 7th or not with that battle being fought by McGee and Taylor.

I have no idea of the likelihood of this, but I would love them to keep 7 DLs.
Cut Smithson, I trust our DB squad.

We could dominate the trenches, I don't want that to be jeopardised.

That is a strange thing to say. If he dominates as he did last year before he got hurt, they would be forced to keep him. That kind of talent doesn't grow on trees.

Confused on this -- I know Ziggy is a coach favorite, but seems like if Phil Taylor plays better than Hood, Hood would be at risk.. Ziggy is 31yo and Taylor is one year younger... Not to mention Phil is a true NT. Also last year, Ziggy played out of position, but his PFF grade was 38.5, #122nd rated DL..

The line and running games progression this year is what makes me most curious for the season. If both those get shored up The Skins will be incredibly formidable.

Plus McGee will come back in the middle of the year. I could see him pushing his way onto the field.

If he dominates, then yea.

If he is slightly above the next guy, does he get a roster spot with his injury history and inability to ever stay on the field?

Re: Training Camp 2018

A common theme with A Smith throwing the ball is the accuracy...he places the ball better than Cousins whether its back shoulder, ball away from defenders and placing it with more run after the catch opportunities.

Also heard A Smith communicates better than Cousins with his receivers.

Hopefully this leads to better execution of the passing game.
