Anyway I don't take that Jay Williams quote as a good sign. I know Wade Smith showed up to camp lean, mean, and supposedly not so green anymore...but then the reports coming out were talking about him getting beat a lot and Jason Taylor abusing everyone but most of all him, etc etc. I had my doubts about whether Wade Smith would be good enough this season to man our LT position in only his second year and I haven't seen anything to quell those doubts. If Jay Williams is heralding little-known Dan Goodspeed as a guy who will challenge Wade Smith for the job, then I think we can discern what Jay Williams thinks of Wade Smith. Now thats not to say, that Jay Williams' opinion means anything...he's always been a little off-the-wall (remember the "See you after practice" comment to the Texans)...still, it would be nice if I heard a bunch of glowing comments from the DEs about Wade Smith and how good he is and how he's shutting them down etc etc...
Ok let the spinning begin go ahead take shots at what I just said, just know I'm not saying Smith is a problem just that I had my doubts and those doubts haven't been cleared up by anything I've seen or heard so far.
Its nice to see that Randy Mueller has joined the ranks of Ron Wolf in heralding AJ Feeley. Its nice to know that if we're wrong about Feeley, then Wolf and Mueller were both wrong as well. Its not so nice to hear that none of the players cited AJ Feeley or Vernon Carey as standout newcomers...
And anyone else notice the flaw in the article where they explain away Vernon Carey's not being named, because "its hard to evaluate OL during padless mini-camps" yet the premise of the article is that Jeno James is the overwhelming winner of the voting?
Oooook....
