He is not a 1 tech..

Watched Ambar and Broaddus on Periscope:

  • LVE injured his ankle and sat out today. Supposedly minor.
  • Lewis is still playing with 2nd team. Brown doing 1st team. Broaddus thinks Lewis has to do some work to convince Richard he can start despite being shorter. Says he missed on a play against Allen Hurns today by not quite being long enough to reach the ball.
  • Rico had a chance to make a play at the goal line but got the ball ripped from him.
  • Jaylon has played well, and March-Lillard is doing a good job.
  • Lewis Neal has a hamstring issue.
  • Broaddus says Byron Jones has looked good. Kelly is moving back to safety for now.
  • Marquez White has made some plays.
  • Broaddus said Mike White didn’t have a good practice yesterday, and missed throws. He did a little better today, but Broaddus says he has to figure out how to get the ball out quicker.
  • Broaddus says his biggest standout from all of OTAs has been Jihad Ward. Says that trade may prove valuable. Says he’s given even Travis Frederick problems when he lines up 1T.
  • Conner Williams needs to add more strength and muscle to help him win some match-ups, as he often overextends when he gets beaten by strength.
  • Ambar notes the team mood and atmosphere has been positive compared to previous years around this time.
  • They both said Taco looks better and is using technique more. Dorance Armstrong is still trying to beat La’el with athleticism and not technique, like Taco did last year, to poor results.

Lewis was a wasted pick.

Proves more than you might think. Technique, work ethic, drive, fundamentals, competition, knowledge of your position etc. But, what do I know?

I dont think you understand my meaning. Im not talking about the importance of OTAs, Im talking about the importance of the news coming out of OTSs.

Hearing that someone looks good in shorts matters little compared to the knowledge that there are no injuries.

Got it. Your "running around in shorts poves nothing" through me off.

Connor seems to be physically more ready to play OT rather than guard. Getting the most out of these players may mean flipping Collins and Connor. Doubt they do it, but maybe they should.
Let’s dont pull another Chaz green
Connor is the guard, he needs to develope more physically which won’t happen for a year but he will be just fine and get better once he does develope his body more

Good to see everyone's savior in Richard has the same kind of physical prototypes that blind him to talent.

Marinelli wanted that "quick twitch". Richard has his hang-up with "length".
He had some very nice things to say about Lewis
He likes long DB’s but sure seemed high on Lewis even if he doesn’t fit his ideal size

Thank you, Lady Sepia.
Now, it's time to rid yourself of the Rowdy pic 'cause you're better than that... lol

Was Lewis Neal a pick?

Even worse, why is this guy calling him by his first name. I mean, were they friends?
That's a terrible way to talk about a friend. I don't wanna get involved but, if Neal finds
out, Beaker's goose is cooked.

Too soon plus expect an injury or two.

I wouldn't write off the LVE injury as nothing. It very well could be, but I HATE seeing foot injuries to big fast guys, and they tend to linger because of how much force the athletes put on them. Look at Leonard Fournette for example, his foot has been sapping him for the better part of two years.

Nope conner at guard, collins at tackle..End of story! IDKW fans seem to think that Collins was a great guard..He played okay two years ago, but he had problems at guard learning the nfl game..Another move like that..you get last year. THIS ISNT MADDEN, and musical chairs in the oline is a recipe..I shouldnt have to say this...
