Thanks for your support!
Like Obsi said, there were quite a few designed plays to go outside.They were doing both. The bigger backs, Green in particular IMO, were having some success running "up the gut" so to speak. Walker seemed to use the blocking the best and know just when to hit the crease whether it was inside or off-tackle. Slaton was best once he het the edge.
I don't think I ever said anything about RBs "bouncing outside". The guys that hit the edge were doing it on plays designed to go that way. I will say that I saw Walker make a couple of nice runs by cutting back against the grain. But its still a matter of the RBs recognizing where the hole or crease is and hitting it hard.
You other guys who were there might have a different viewpoint but that's what I saw.
Cool pics gary. You have quite the entourage.
Is it just me, or are we seeing a lot of reports that say the running back "turned the left corner and made a nice run once he got to the edge"?
Curious to know from some of the posters who have been at camp: Are we seeing any significant rushing up the middle (inside) or is it bottled up and forcing guys to go to the edges?
I'm concerned that we're not moving the DL, and it's forcing our RBs to bounce it to the outside a lot. That stuff doesn't work as well in the regular season vs. REAL opponents.
Any eyes out there who can speak on this? Thanks in advance.
Head coach Gary Kubiak
(on what did you tell the guys with getting angry with each other) “This game’s about intensity and I felt that we needed to find another level of intensity. That was something we addressed as a team last night and we found it this morning, but we’re not going to lose our composure
DE N.D. Kalu
(his take on the skirmish during practice today) “I thought it was good. I know that Coach Kubiak doesn’t like it. I think it is good to do it out here because there are no yellow flags or fines. We need to get a little more ornery on defensive, and the defensive linemen started that fight.”
The Panthers disagree on Kalu's take about fighting in practice. They suspended Steve Smith, their All Pro WR for the first two games of the regular season for what he did to Ken Lucas.
That was a different situation. Smith and Lucas got into it on the sideline with no helmets. From what I gather from the quotes is the altercation occurred while in the heat of battle. If so, then I don't have a problem with it either. I was just curious who it was.
I have a feeling that Travis Johnson was the one from the defensive side. Haven't he gotten into a scuffle in every TC since being becoming a Texans? It's starting to become a tradition for him...
I like all of them.Great pics Gary ! OK here's a tough one, of all those guys have you got a favorite player (or favorites) ?
My goodness, Winston is getting bigger.Jon and Eric Winston.
“We’ve been pushing him to get the most out of him, and he did play pretty darn well last year,” Kubiak said. “But if he becomes a great player, a Pro Bowl player, then our football team is going to benefit from that. So that’s our job as coaches: to keep pushing him and see if we can find that. I think he’s capable of it. I think he’s capable of being one hell of a player, but his conditioning level has got to be the best it’s been. And keeping him healthy (is important), and that is why we’re taking a different approach with him, so we’ll see.”"

If I posted this quote alone who would you think Kubes was talking about ? (for those of you who haven't read the article yet)

You guys attending training camp - is Chaun Thompson back on the field yet?
Winston taking on two d-linemen and no other o-lineman jumped in to help...
