Is Travis Frederick Struggling in Camp?

[Galian Beast]

I keep hearing reports of him getting jobbed by a bunch of no-namers...

 

[cern]

I doubt it.

 

[erod]

It's been exactly the opposite actually.

 

[ItzKelz]

Not looking like his dominant self so far. But it's early

 

[ScipioCowboy]

What? Where do you people get this stuff?

 

[AbeBeta]

Folks read the same report about a play or two reported in 20 different places and draw crazy conclusions.

Information literacy ain't what it used to be

 

[Galian Beast]

Separate reports of him struggling against Brian Price on multiple days and struggling against Antwaun Woods as well.

Luckily when the season starts he won't be doing one on one drills all game.

 

[Pantone282C]

Not worried.

Best C we've ever had.

Yes- our Center, one of the best in the league, suddenly forgot how to play football and is now getting clowned on by fringe players.

Sounds legit.....

 

[Pantone282C]

Best C we've ever had.

Yup, and there have been some good ones. Stepnoski, Manders, and Fitzgerald come to mind.

 

[Risen Star]

Best C we've ever had.

I can't speak to pre-1985 but I haven't seen one better here since then.

It's been exactly the opposite actually.

He can sleep through camp and still have a great camp.

 

[DiResta]

somebody must have told Price and Antwaun Woods they were scrubs
they are both winning vs the starters
Woods was getting tfl while double teamed today

Tapper has looked good too when he isnt in the trainers tent
wonder what you do if he ends up with 4 sacks in the preseason?
somebody you like is going to be cut from some position

Rico looks to be coming on as well

 

[CPanther95]

It's just the fallout of trying to assure the fan base they don't have a problem on the DL.

Frederick is just fine.

No.

They practice a lot of reps and practice everyday.

Almost all players lose some practice reps, especially in 1-on-1 drills. All-Pros can't practice at Game Day intensity on every rep; whereas, DLinemen trying to make the team can't afford not to got All-Out on every snap, especially in the 1-on-1 drills.

Many times when someone wants to compliment a player such as a DLineman, they point out that the player gave a known great OLineman problems.

For example, from my Player Review thread:

"Brian Price: Strong. Gave Fred some issues and overwhelmed Joe Looney."

That statement was just intended to show that Price was playing well against a great player like Frederick and not just playing well against camp-body types.

It was NOT at all intended to imply that Frederick was struggling.

Because a 27 yr old, pro-bowler/All-Pro, with no injury history would just start sucking overnight... if this was Tyron Smith, ok, let’s have the conversation because of his injury history... BUT Frederick...C’mon...

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Maybe Price is the real deal........
