Julius Peppers

I was following Peppers quite closely for the early part of tonight's game and I thought he looked very impressive. He has been listed on the depth chart as CJ's backup, and Addison starting on the weakside, and on the first drive he only came in as a rotational strongside end. However on the next f...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Oslo, Bruiser, what do we know about the starting LBs for Houston, Cincinnati, & Tennessee? Specifically, what do we envision for Cunningham vs Cushing, Minter vs Vigil, and Woodyard vs the field? Cushing seems to be healthier than in previous years and it sounds like he has had a good camp, I'...

Re: Buccaneers safeties

No one think Evans Will earn a starting gig? By the start of the season? No chance. He still hasn't grasped the playbook and he's made some blunders in the preseason games because of it, along with a couple missed tackles. He has also only learned the free safety position so far so they haven't sta...

I would go with Correa, then Humber. I don't really see Alexander being very productive in his new role.

Buccaneers safeties

The TBB safety situation has been viewed as a muddled one all offseason with incumbent starters Keith Tandy and Chris Conte facing competition from JJ Wilcox and 2nd round pick Justin Evans. Tandy and Conte aren't exactly the most celebrated safeties so a lot of people expected Wilcox and/or Evans t...

Re: Dante Fowler

Last night it was, as expected, Calais and Ngakoue in base with Fowler coming in on some nickel plays and Calais moving inside to 3T. After the first drive they pulled Calais for the night and alternated between Fowler/Ngakoue, Smoot/Ngakoue and Fowler/Smoot. The bad news...on the first drive with C...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

I've started seeing reports that Zach Brown is getting first team snaps playing with Compton the last couple days. Foster and Compton are still playing nickel but Brown has at least started to ascend and it is Foster who is starting to lose snaps. In yesterday's game simulation practice Mason Foste...

Te'o and Anzalone are back-up nickel players behind Klein and Robertson.

Re: Dante Fowler

There's definitely risk that he'll never get it and just flush out after a few years, but his talent makes it difficult for me to cut strings with him. There are plenty of players that mature and get it after a few years in the NFL, while others don't, so we'll find out which direction he takes. Hop...

Re: Dante Fowler

What's everyone's thoughts now? Not seeing much(any) positive press- have cuts coming up in a couple weeks- still worth holding, or time to move on? I've been trying to follow him quite closely this camp and he seems to be having a great camp, but on the other side I don't think he got any base sna...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

I've been seeing reports that since the preseason game the Saints have stopped rotating their first team LBs in practice and have settled down on Klein - Te'o - Robertson like they did in the first PS game. I still think there's a good chance that Anzalone could ascend in time (perhaps by mid-season...

Re: Denzel Perryman

I would say that it depends who you can pick up and how easy it is for you to get startable LBs mid-season in your league off waivers. But no, he's not without value.

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Based on the depth chart and their rotation in training camp Joshua Perry seems to be a bit behind, and even if he wins the base MIKE he would surely come off in nickel as Toomer has much more range and experience than him. So if we're looking for a potential three-down player I would think Toomer i...

Re: McMillan Injury

Salguero reports that they will go with Mike Hull and look at trades and final cutdowns, but as it is a part-time role they might just roll with Hull. They're saying that they don't plan to move Alonso inside, but I think that depends if someone becomes available that they feel strongly about who is...

Re: Camp Battles - Linebackers

Lions - Davis MIKE, Whitehead WILL, Williams SAM. Davis has grabbed the reigns and is not looking back while Whitehead has moved to WILL base and is in line for nickel snaps. However, in a defense hungry for youth and speed Reeves-Maybin should come gunning for those nickel snaps and more as he fig...
