Local Buzz

Postby dlf_jules » Tue Jun 13, 2017 7:07 am

We sometimes get scattered posts about the local buzz on a player, but I'd like to see that information aggregated in one spot.

This thread is for information gathered from local beat reporters, radio hosts, team sources, personal observations, etc. If the source is anyone other than yourself, please include a link where available.

ASJ seems to be getting some Jets buzz. Could be worth a waiver add or last bench spot stash.

Ryan Grant - WR, WAS
"Doctson appears to be competing for the "Z" role with Ryan Grant, who has been working with the first-team offense"

Precautionary with Doctson or is the dude STILL hurt....

Sounds like Teddy is able to practice with minimal restrictions at minicamp. This makes me believe he will start the season as the backup to Bradford and wont start the season on PUP. Should be interesting to see what the Vikings do with the QB situation heading into 2017 and 2018.

I think some #Bears fans are going to be surprised just how far along Trubisky is, come Training Camp. Likely noticeably better than Glennon

heard on the dynasty blue print pod cast that the chargers coaches don't like how Tyrell Williams doesn't fight for the ball and lots of turnovers were because of him. it might be the reason why they got Mike Williams because 50/50 balls are more like 80/20 balls for him.

Link? not to the podcast, but to the coaches actually saying that. Sounds like pure speculation and random numbers that can be thrown out on podcasts. 50-50 balls are not actually 50-50, and to say he only wins 20% of those, I'd love to see this backed up...
If it can be backed up, it's information I'd like to know.

no. whomever they were interviewing on the pod cast was talking to LAC coaches and had a few takes. the whole 50/50, 80/20 stuff is just my commentary.

I don't think the implication is that Tyrell is only winning 20%, but rather that Mike is winning 80%.

I could be completely wrong here but I felt that the few glimpses of Chargers' games that I watched, I swear I saw numerous balls get dropped/bounce off/deflect off of Tyrell that resulted in an interception or drive killer.

Again, this may be isolated to only a time or two, as I can't say I'm watching Charger games on a regular basis.

Alvin Kamara is creating a lot of positive buzz for the Saints and a few of his teammates seem to be taking notice..

Mark Ingram on Alvin Kamara: "Super elusive, runs routes well, catches well, has a bright future."

Drew Brees on Alvin Kamara: "Extremely intelligent and consciousness," "He's fit in really really well. Only have to show/tell him once"

To the talk of Williams on the podcast it was Mike Clay who spoke with Chargers coach. Take that for what it's worth
