Some positive notes from what I am hearing at camp

[Cowboyny]

Let me first say, it's extremely difficult to know how each player is truly doing just by hearing from practice observers. We all will get a chance to watch these players in actual games starting this Thursday night and then we can start drawing our own conclusions.

Based on what I have heard, read and see, here are some positives come out of camp:

Offense

-Tyron Smith might be having the best camp out of any player. Very pivotal season as he must show he can stay healthy for the majority of the season.

-Glowing reports recently about Connor McGovern, heard he is actually taking starting snaps now at Left Guard, where the other Connor is working as the backup center. McGovern is one of the most improved according to the coaches. Not sure if he is ahead of Williams, but he can be in the conversation now.

-Zeke looks like he really transformed his body this off-season. His lack of explosive plays has been a big issue, but everything said is very encouraging at this point.

Defense

-Just like McGovern, hearing similar things about Gallimore. Gallimore might be that 2nd yr year that takes a big jump. Let's also remember McGovern in essence was just a rookie too last yr.

-Randy Gregory is getting rave reviews, not just as a pass rusher, but also against the run. Everything is there for him to have that breakout yr.

-LVE is flying around again and having a very productive camp. They moved him back to his natural weakside position. Just like Tyron, must show he can play a full season.

-Parsons has star potential, making many wow plays every practice. His maturity is the biggest surprise to me as he looks like he is taking the coaching.

-Many good things about the secondary, but let's not get too crazy yet, as they are playing against street fa type of backup QB's. Diggs is another one who looks to make the 2nd yr jump. Canady has been a surprise. Kazee continues to always been around the football, which is what you want a safety to be like.

another name on the offensive side who seemingly is stackin' good days after another is te dalton schultz.
he continues to build off a very good season.
i liked him at stanford.
glad he continues to show out.

 

[cowboyec]

cb kelvin joseph continues to shine as well.
im really excited about wright as well.
we need those young guns back there.

How’s our 40 million dollar QB doing?

Shultz deserves a chance to start this season after what he showed last yr. Might not be as explosive as Jarwin, but he us far more balanced TE.

I know some will take issue with this comment, but Joseph was the better fit then both Horn/Surtain. He has the speed, athleticism and the ball skills to become a true #1 Corner. He can matchup with the so called speed receivers, where the other two seem to be more like Diggs who can matchup with the so called big X receivers.

agreed.
schultz is gonna make it hard NOT to run 2TE sets more.

im more familiar with surtain but i liked joseph coming in.
very excited about this young cat.
he and Diggs are gonna make a helluva duo back there.

If the WR situation is hard to figure out beyond the top 4... MM said he loves Noah Brown. I'm thinking Cedrick Wilson and Noah Brown are safe.

 

[JoeKing]

agreed.

I guess if you are enamored with Schultz that much you might think that but there is just no way they are going to be playing that much "12" personnel set. That means taking one of the big 3 WRs off the field. It's just not that more advantageous to operate that way.

..better than the Six Millon Dollar Man. ...

Thanks for sharing brother. I feel foolish, but I'm excited to see Zeke respond.

Dan Quinn sounds like a person McCarthy might want to be cognizant of. Dude sounds just like a head coach.

I'm glad to see him finally coming into his own. I was really hyped on him when he was drafted, but lost interest by his 2nd year.

Christ on a Cupcake!!!!!


Anything on Brandon Smith or the former ASU Swiss Army Knife FB?

My take on McGovern is the opposite. He's taking LG snaps because they've pegged Williams as the backup C *instead* of McGovern, who should be the obvious choice to *compete* at both LG and C, and back up both if he can't win either outright. That's what I've wanted for years now.

"Most Improved" is another way of saying "we've always thought little of this guy, but he's coming around, so we're giving him a public Atta Boy!"

LVE was 2nd Team All Pro as a rookie. It always seemed reasonably possible that he could have a bounce back season. Yuge if it's true. Parsons and LVE could be our 90%+ snaps LB duo.

micah parsons makes me excited the most regarding pre-season.

Thanks for the updates
Can't wait to see them on the field
