Camp Report 8/1

[flippy]

Initially reported as a right knee. Have not seen an update. Weird, it was his left knee that had the ACL tear back in 2021. Both knees being bad does not bode well for him.

We now know why he likely dropped so low in the draft despite the measurables and his play.

ICI - read your thoughts on Morgan not being great. I've read multiple reports that Rudoph has looked terrible. Any possibility they keep Morgan over Rudolph just as a cap savings measure?

Notice our new LB - K Alexander?

Have you noticed Fehoko? Read where he has looked good eating up double teams allowing the backers to run free?

Nice job. I?m envious of how much detail you captured with 3 fields and guys working all over the place.

We just focused certain groups and certain fields at a time and had a hard time watching everything.

I catch what I can but there is a bunch you miss. Because stuff goes on at the same time and some on far field even with my binoculars you miss a lot of reps. The one thing I won't do is guess on say a rep. If I'm not sure x beats y I just wont comment on it.
Appreciate the positive feed back. Will be out there shortly.

Morgan it's to soon. He lacks a hose but that isn't everything. He hasn't gotten team reps which isn't good but its early. Lets see how today goes for him.
MR we know what he is. Camps just starting so like with Morgan need to see more but it's early to say he could be replaced. Likely he stays the 3.
Alexander stood out and I did give him some kudos he plays with a burst.
Fehoko 96 he didn't jump out yesterday. I'll let you know what he looked like today.

As we say every year, thanks for this IC. Always appreciated by those of us not there. Was hoping to go this year but not happening - hopefully next year.

Good updates. LOVE these... keep 'em coming...

The thing that I love about Pickens and Porter - those two will take each other to higher levels. I just hope they don't take it personal (the ball hand off after the catch was a bit much - but, friends could get away with that).

If you've spent camp covering Pickens daily, you're ready for most of what an elite "contested catch" WR can throw at you

I think (and hope) that this is the benefit of having a dad like Porter Sr. In the video of him from the draft, when he wasn't selected in the first, dad tried to guide his son into taking it personally, but instead of pouting turning it into motivation to become a better player and show everyone how great he will be. Same with being embarrassed by Pickens. Fight to become better, and not long after he came up with his first int. Nothing wrong with any of it as long as he uses it to get better.

I can't see it. Rudolph's cap hit is under a mil, and he wasn't brought back to be much of a QB IMO, he is a good guy for the others to lean on. Smart, easy going, and understands the system. Not only would Morgan have to show out huge, he is barely being given a chance to do so.

He couldn?t put any weight on it so I was thinking it might be an ankle or knee but I have no clue what happened.

I heard someone compare it to a strange injury Ramon Foster had a while back and I think his turned out ok.

I did my Achilles and couldn't put total weight on it as my foot was loose as a goose. Pain wasn't a major factor in my particular case but the lack of foot support post injury/ pre casting was . Fortunately mine was a rupture and didn't roll up like a window shade.

Yep..........

I agree, Rudolph will most likely be our 3rd QB.

truth is, most teams' 3rd QBs suck.

Awesome as always!

Thanks for the insight.
