(on the right side of the offensive line) “Obviously, Gump (Antoine Caldwell) and (Rashad) Butler operate as starters right now, but (Derek) Newton’s splitting reps kind of with Butler. Our young guard is getting a ton of reps. It’s going to end up right down the middle. They’re going to both work with the ones and the twos, but hopefully that’s something we’ve got settled by Week 3 in the preseason and we’ll feel good about the direction we’re going.”

(on if he’s talked to RB Arian Foster about becoming a vegan) “I texted him about three weeks ago and said, ‘Hey Vegan, you in shape?’ He texted me back and said, ‘What the heck does that mean?’ That’s been our conversation, but he looks great. He looks good this morning. Like I said, I’m focused on the football, not on what he’s eating right now.”

(on WR Keshawn Martin) “He’s got a lot of talent. You guys can see that. He’s going to push to help this team real quick and had a good morning this morning.”

According to everyone he was running fine and looking great out there in practice, so that's all that matters to me.

I did not notice any limps. And I was looking.

Perception. It's a weird thing.

Kubiak on rookie G Brandon Brooks: "He weighs 337. He's a totally different animal right now." Was pushing 350 in OTAs

3. Training camp. Too easy blogging. There are too many things to write about. This is when I’d like to have a radio show.

You could do an internet radio show. I'd listen to it.

Did he take any crap last year? Don't think so.

“I expect greatness and nothing less. I want to be the absolute best I can be, and I want to be one of the best defensive ends in the game. But I want to win a Super Bowl; that’s it at the end of the day.” – DE J.J. Watt, on his personal expectations

JJ gets compared to Howie Long and that was by Wade .

[TexanSam]

Geez, how pathetic are our reporters? Is it really such a big deal that Foster's a vegan. It's training camp. Ask questions about football, not about what he's going to eat for dinner.

This is rhetorical, right?

If not, just remember John McLame

In Kubiak's first year Jerek knew some guys going to the practices and they would post all these detailed observations . It was like surf and turf for every meal .
