2018 Fall Camp: Practice #14 Fri. August 17

[P Vasiloff]

I thought the same, DeVito didnt throw a very good pass..

Hate to tell you but go back and watch the video. The only bad thing on that pass was Butler's hands.

Pass was very low. Definitely not in the proper spot for a quick out.

 

[sufandu]

Thought about this but seriously doubt that is the case. Everything about this staff tells me they don't shortcut putting in the work. You don't get guys in the weight room making gains across the board without that kind of attitude and expectation at the top. I think the more likely answer is that the capacity for injury has increased. Guys are bigger, stronger, and faster...like an ACC player ought to be. They are more capable of injuring one another. And when you take the leash off, bad things happen.

That's not short cutting putting the work. It's avoiding wear and tear on a guy that's dinged up.

Your a D1 receiver who got both hands on the ball and did not leave your feet. I don't care if it was six inches or even a foot low, that was a drop!

Would you expect him to catch it ? yes

Was it a good pass? no

 

[blizz]

I mean yeah, I guess bigger stronger faster guys are more likely to hurt each other but I agree with cuse12. It's training camp. Why not take the precaution if you can? I imagine a lot of these injuries (not all, never all) are quite minor. I don't see the harm (no pun intended) in erring on the side of caution. Your wrist a bit sore? Let's wrap it up. Camp is not the time to battle through ailments without at least some attempt of improving it.

Practicing is doing the work. Sounds like dinged up guys are practicing. If you're not practicing then what are you doing?

 

[TheCusian]

Babers has stated that they are going all out and tapering things as game week approaches. Also said they are being more careful with lesser injuries to projected starters.

We don’t know, outside of Morton, who is out long term. I think it’s all precautionary.

 

[Orijinal]

Guys. Been following this team closely for 16 years. Injuries happen almost Every. Single. Year. In. Camp.

Couple years here and there have been exceptions, which is good. But you also know what happens A LOT? Injuries at a position you felt had quality depth. Suddenly no depth. Killer. Don't like it. But this happens often

And how many of those were good seasons?

 

[Orijinal]

And how many of those were good seasons?

None. But there's no way we can ever avoid injury. Wish we were able to get through a few more camps without this stuff, but it hasn't happened. I've kind of stopped wishing and just mentally prepped myself

Thinking the same exact thing...and also wondering why Bailey didn't mention it. ;-)

[bigmike]

This young fella is gonna tear it up this year. Those highlights have me really fired up.

 

[SUFan44]

Butler's drop does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Jordan looks very stiff.

WR's as a whole, I have heard, have not looked very good this camp. Have also heard about a surprise potentially. Not sure if I have much faith it will happen but...

 

[Trueblue25]

Still like Sharod and AQ to earn more and more looks.

 

[CuseCactus]

Alton Robinson - wow. Impressive. He's ready. Can't wait.

 

[RMH44]

Yep, a very impressive young man. He is very easy to root for.

Proof that second chances are usually a good thing.

Spill it, dammit!

 

[SU in Hershey]

You've been on the AQ train pretty much from the time he committed, and I think there is a LOT to like, and if the opportunity is there, I'd love to see him take advantage! I'm a little surprised I haven't heard a peep about Taj Harris. He seemed like a very dynamic athlete but maybe it is an adjustment to the level of competition? (IIRC, he played against weaker competition, but I might be mistaken).

Hmmm...I’ve heard the opposite. Better than you think.

About Jordan or the receiving corps in general? I'm assuming and hoping it is the latter...

[OttoinGrotto]

I'd kinda like to hang with Stephen A. I feel like it could be a good time.
