The Spring Camp Thread.

PER?

Yeah, we should just use the eyeball test and not look at numbers at all.

[Indy Coug]

PER?

Spring PER? Yes.

[MarkGrace]

Why? Just because it's so late in his career? I always thought Chambers would be a much better safety than WR. He has the body, he isn't afraid of contact, he has good but not great speed, and his hands aren't what you'd want for a first team WR. But I don't know how much of the technique he can pick up to be very effective this late.

Yes. Just too late to make a dent in the rotation, where I think if they left him at WR he could at least give us some depth.

People are going to panic about the way riley looks in spring and fall because his strengths are all suited to what happens in a game. He'll be fine when the season rolls, though basically fine is about all we can expect.

Not if he plays like he did against Tulsa. And I'm not really reading into that much of what is happening in spring. This just keeps spring and fall somewhat entertaining for me because I really am not that excited about the coming year.

This just doesn't seem like a great move to me.

They should move him to TE. If he sucks at blocking they could split him out. Hes a big dude and would be a good redzone target.

[Hsaru]

Yes. Just too late to make a dent in the rotation, where I think if they left him at WR he could at least give us some depth.

Yeah, he could get around 15-20 catches next year at WR, I think Chambers will be come really disenfrachised once he realizes he is a 4th string safety who will never see the field.

Not with Riley throwing to him.

Report from someone who attended practice.

1. Manoa Pikula (Looked bigger and in better shape than even Kaveinga and was moving, running just as good if not better.)

2. Taysom Hill (His calves alone were noteworthy to me. Creepy? I don't care.)

3. Zac Stout (Des News picture says it was Mitch Mathews but it is Zac. His long hair and number threw me off yesterday so I walked right by him to get a better look, it was him -Zac-) Oh, and we are stacked at MLB this year.

4. John Lamont (Looks like there is some potential there. For a track guy, he was moving like a football player, so that is promising.)

5. Joe Sampson (Looks more cut and a little lighter on his feet.)

6. Mike Hague (Was playing some cornerback and actually did a good job at it. He was playing a lot with Sampson, Sorensen, and Johnson a lot.)

7. Terenn Houk (He's #11 now since Ross is #1 now and I had to to a double take at first cause with the #11, he looked so similar. He is kinda slow but did still looked like he's going to be a good player.)

8. Spencer Hadley (Was strong and agile. He put Trevor Brown on his butt with a one armed openhanded punch to the chest when Brown was coming off the line into his pass route. Brown has good legs but needs to get much stronger in his upper body.)

9. Brock Stringham. (I think he should be a starter for sure. I just don't see 5 guys better than him. Solid, strong dude.)

10. Solomn Kafu. (Shorter for a O tackle but was moving well.)

11. Iona Pritchard. (Very long hair coming out from under his helmet. Have no idea how he is able to pull that off in class. Probably puts it up. Reminded me of Tahi.)

12. Devin Mahina (Was glad he was at least out there doing drills.)

13. Riley Nelsen (had a bad looking performance, a lot of wounded duck throws, but his game is better in live action.)

14. Hoffman (Shoulders and arms looked a little bigger. He was the best player on the field yesterday. Just keeps progressing all the time. Is getting better and better. Reminds me of how Jimmer was always getting better.)

15. Adam Hine (Needs to run with more of a forward lean and not so upright but he is a buff dude and I can't wait to see some live action to get a better feel for his abilities.

Notes: Alisa's ankle sprain must have been pretty bad cause it was still heavily tapped yesterday. Some of the OL Yeck, etc look too skinny and some have guts that are way to big. OL got pushed back a lot yesterday. I kept picturing Star L. going up against Blair T. and got a little sick. Ziggy had a knee brace on and was limping around on the sideline but still participated in everything. I'm still not sure about Fua. He is just so light. Now that he is at SLB maybe he can pull it off.

Is Pikula not going on a mission?

[jay santos]

Yeah, he could get around 15-20 catches next year at WR, I think Chambers will be come really disenfrachised once he realizes he is a 4th string safety who will never see the field.

It could be even more disenfranchising when someone tells him #62 is not typically a safety's number.

LOL. Is that really his number?

LOL. The subtle little comments about length of hair was a nice touch...

[Indy Coug]

Hsaru rejoices. I take that back. That is psychologically impossible.

Riley could impregnate 3 women before fall camp and Bronco would still find a way to have him start.
