Day 7 Training Camp and PC Info HERE

[Fin-Loco]

Good morning all,

Yesterday was a hum dinger and all about the defense as the hits could begin. it's often a proper conundrum at this point. On one side you want to see the offense continue their domination but on the other side, we know the core identity last year was our defense so you want to see that continue. Yesterday was the d's day and they nuked our O Line and run-ing game from orbit. Can the offense turn the tables and run the rock while also keeping the passing game a focus? If we're going to win on offense, it looks like it's going to be with the passing game. Tua is on a mission and we're glad to be along for the ride. These question and many more will be answered on this very thread my friends. Please, as always, like the tweet posts we work hard to provide. I think today I need to focus on work a bit more so I'm letting Banksy, Hoot and the rest make it happen. Keep it Loco fellas!

Does anyone have Carmen Sandiego's phone number? Maybe she can track down Fuller.

First play 11vs11 Tua hits Waddle on a rpo for a fifty + TD. Just to show the defense you have to defend the pass as well.

I have a feeling we’ll have a top 10 dline and a bottom 10 o line, so I expect to see a lot of defensive victories in camp.

Just hoping the d line is closer to 1 than 10 and the o line is closer to 22 than 32.

Day 1 with pads, run install every year, every camp. Shouldn’t have been a shock to anyone with the defense “dominating” as they knew it was a run install day. Just wait until we’re at least back to a natural mix. It’ll be even or quite possibly 60:40 offense winning with Tua throwing darts like he has been.

The running game is going to be open up by the pass. Training camp isn’t a place for scheming. Therefore the running game is expected by the defense and will fail

thanks in advance for the info!

Ok Nick. So no teams are able to run the ball in TC?

Teams with a great oline who don’t have to scheme the running game yes. We don’t have a great oline yet and neglected the RB position. Do you understand why we added so much speed at WR? It’s not just for the deep ball

in 11 v 11 run drills?

doubtful it's better than "horrible rushing attack with varying degrees of horribability."

To be fair, what we saw yesterday wasn't entirely dissimilar to what was seen when Tua was in at QB in 2020. There wasn't tremendous speed in the slot, and a lot of the pass plays were short-to-intermediate, so teams were able to key on the run more.

ya it’s pretty basic every year, shocking at what some people expect the results to yield in TC while practicing against your own team.

The panic yesterday was hilarious. I am not gonna waste a second thinking about our running game until we play New England and actually have to call plays.

I’m so excited to see the speed of these WRs in action. No doubt going to be the most explosive offense since Marino and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration

I have to admit I’ve been worried about leadership on the defensive side of the ball..


I’ve always underestimated Jerome Baker, he continues to surprise me with his game and now leadership, I’ve seen some things that now give me some peace of mind knowing the defense has a leader :)
