Training Camp Hype 2020

Postby mild » Mon Aug 17, 2020 4:39 pm

Here's a thread that I know FantasyFreak will LOVE.

Post all your titbits of training camp twitter fluff here! ALL HYPE NO BRAKES.
I'll start, with my draft crush and favouritest boi, JK Dobbins...
Ravens second-round pick J.K. Dobbins is explosive when getting the ball in his hands. He gets to the edges fast and hard.

It's difficult to see No. 27 running with the ball and not think of Ray Rice.

AJ Dillon most definitely counts. TREE TRUNK LEGS!

Seeing plenty of love for Philip Rivers and TY Hilton on the timeline today, I have long thought that they are both great values for contending dynasty teams and in Redraft this year. (Rivers is basically going undrafted in that format)

We’re now into the team portion of practice (no photos permitted). Rivers to Hilton already in full effect. Three of Rivers’ first three pass attempts were completions to T.Y. Ho, hum.
https://twitter.com/KBowen1070/status/1 ... 2459127810
Few 11-on-11 sessions complete:

-T.Y. Hilton and Kenny Moore in mid-season form.
-Quick rhythm, decisive Philip Rivers on display
https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1295372653939875841
Early observations from Colts camp:
— Philip Rivers likes throwing to TY Hilton
— The d-line just *looks*completely different with Buckner in the middle
— Kenny Moore back to his usual self, blowing up plays
— for the 100th time, don’t sleep on Marlon Mack just bc Taylor is here
Some further ammo there for people scooping the Indy defense and their glorious schedule this year too, and even a nice titbit for the Marlon Mack truthers :twisted:

Thanks for the shout out Mild. Appreciate it. I do indeed. Looking forward to seeing him in a game. No preseason to get our pallet wet this year, unfortunately. Although pre season turned Chubb into a bust after 1 week, and Abdullah into Barry Sanders, so maybe it's a good thing. :lol:

You're like the Forum ghost around here, I can always count on you to be lurking the forums just as much as me during a work-day. :lol:

I also know how much you love fluff pieces... but yeah, like you said - we don't have a lot to go on this pre-season. Best we've got is the beat reporters... god help us all.

I'll try and digest the Jalen Reagor hype for this thread today, Wentz/Eagles/Reagor fans are all frothing at the bit. Looks like he is indeed installed opposite D-Jax with the 1's for padded practice number one. That's a promising start.

I generally don't touch any social media outside of this forum, being in Australia I miss a lot of this stuff and would also love all the fluff pieces people can find. Also yes please on Reagor, I may be the highest on him around this board and anything on him will make me giddy.
Thanks Mild

Some other stuff I am interested in:

https://twitter.com/kmeinke/status/1295387694810501120
The only rookie getting consistent first-team snaps was Jonah Jackson at right guard. D’Andre Swift was working behind Kerryon Johnson at running back
Quite a few tweets about DK Metcalf, and I'll admit the footage I've seen of him he looks real nice - Russ and Carroll both gushing about him so far. (I am starting to get the feeling I am going to regret trading him away this offseason)
https://twitter.com/Joe_Fann/status/1295464099439026176

And, perhaps a bit more lower on everyone's radar, but interesting for anyone holding Jace Sternberger stock - this Packers beat writer has started beating the drum for Robert Tonyan, Packers TE1.

Is Reagor your WR1 too? He's been my guy for a while...good news on him today.
He has always been my must get guy this draft with Tua, did have him wr2 behind Lamb but moved him to wr1 a month or so ago, I couldn't justify telling people that Lamb was my wr1 when if push came to shove I was taking Reagor everytime. Love to shoot for the moon though which is one reason I've come around on Ruggs, people are selling me on that upside.
