He's gotta have something going on. Hopefully it's nothing that keeps him from missing games, but something is keeping him off the field now. Guys with injury histories like Jeffcoat were practicing, old guys like Bryant are practicing. Only injured players haven't participated. Especially when Wilson has also been out, and you would think they'd want to see how Bighill played with the replacement candidates.

Other than Grant, yes. I assume they all are. Pretty confident in the statement, too.

If you're saying TC is "boring" with "not a lot of battles" (which I hear a lot) without mentioning that 5 starters haven't practiced and the people who are getting the snaps, I'd say it counts as looking the other way.

He never does.

Only because everyone is looking the other way at Bighill, Wilson, Jeffcoat, Oliveira, and Grant not practicing. That's a lot of holes to fill.

I had it running in the background to support the numbers, but the quality of play got pretty low pretty fast so wasn't actively watching.

What the ****

Which caused me to ask the question, had anyone heard that? Because DT is the the first I remember mentioning it.

What? Really?!?

Did anyone know that Jeffcoat is out too? I swear I haven't seen that.

And that’s all good stuff - but it should be a part of the on field coverage - not a complete replacement of it.

neither Bighill or Wilson has practiced. Who is playing LB? you mentioned DT Holm has been taking reps with first team. Sup with that? Has Eli had an opportunity to steal a spot or is he firmly depth? Has Zach been distributing the ball evenly or keying in on a couple of guys? Has there been sets (on O or D) that show more than the usual amount of Imports, indicating that they’re trying to take advantage of the new ratio rules? Arw they sneaking in an import RB at times? Lining one up as a receiver? 2 back sets?

Still no Brady practicing either. And DT says Augustine joined the sidelines today too.

Yeah, just my 2 cents, but the issues I have with reporters has zero to do with what MOS says. I want them to be reporting what they see on the field, not what the coach says happened.

Could be, but not practicing at all is going to be concerning until he does.

Alright, so I officially have concerns about Bighill and Grant as players. Also the LB spot that was supposed to be filled by Wilson.

The O'Shea version of details, I guess...

This year, sure. Hasn't always been the case.

I would personally call that a tie.

I think the only thing that has limited Grant getting on the field has been his ineffectiveness while doing so, not his passport.

Solid, maybe. Didn't think he'd get another NFL shot at age 30.

There's no reason to sign for longer unless you're a guy who can command a 3 year deal with guaranteed money - which will never go to a kicker.

Same defeatist attitude that Tburg had about preseason games. Of course no one cares about it when it looks like garbage and no one puts any effort into it.

Sure….but this has nothing to do with the team and has been an issue with both good versions of the bombers and bad.

DT is a great example of someone who actually put the work in to uncover more detailed information about games and players and made a career out of it. I imagine the beat writers are lazy because they think no one cares about that amount of detail in training camp, but put it out there and we will come.
