I don't know. That would seem like a really long layoff. I seem to recall a mini camp at the end of June then about 3 weeks of absolutely no football then training camp starting at the end of July.

(I hope he can keep this up when the pads come on. He seems to be playing the run better than anticipated which is very good news for this defense

And how do you defend the run in a non contact ota drill?

Good to hear. Can't wait till camp opens.

That's true. It's basically touch right now...wrap up and they blow the whistle, play dead. In real action, with pads on, we all know Ajayi breaks tackles like a hot knife through butter. But at least it tells me Harris is getting in position to make a play or at least delay the RB long enough for help to arrive. Hopefully our linebackers will swarm to the ball this year.

 

[NoblePhin]

If our DEs can force the cut back consistentlyI think that's all they need to do with our upgraded talent at LB to be better against the run
