Training Camp: Day 3

He deserves it. Usually he is one of the only people on Around the Horn who knows what he is talking about.

Was he really playing that well or just fouling him the whole time? Cause even I can look like a decent CB if I can hold onto AJ's jersey every play. Either way this is good news as at least he looks very motivated to play well.

No, Buchanon was just not giving a cushion to the WR's. He was reacting very quickly to the ball and was able to close very fast. He was also able to get his hands on the ball a lot. I watched for Buchanon specificly because not only is he one of my favorite players, he is being forced to step up and start at a high level in his contract year...expect good things.
 
In my opinion there were some dormant talents not being used the right way or the former staff could not find what motivated certain indviduals. Of those I felt were Carr, Buchanon, Wand and Morency. The emergence of P Buch is terrific. If it is a contract that is motivating him, that is great, at least we know what makes him tick. Now keep the pressure on and keep squeezing.

He has always been quick and fast. It's just about reading the plays right, and tackling.

Only thing that bothers me about a contract year motivating a player is signing him to a larger contract after a good contract year performance and then afterwards slacking back off...

Kind of to my point. Now we know we make his contract on par with is results for the guaranteed money and make it a heavy incentive laden contract. If he walks, fine.

Hey Vinny since you made practice, what did you think of Meco up close, eventhough you guys werent that close. I know you like the kid alot, he has the ability and mindset to be something special. Literally if he starts all year he could challenge for Rookie of the Year Defense. It has gone to LBs what the last 4 years right.

I only got to see the last part of the practice as I could not see anything for most of the day, so I don't have much of an opinion other than what I carry from watching him play in the SEC....I was watching some of the youngsters and Halterman and Mark Estelle had some good moments and I think Halterman will be tough to cut. Estelle was doing a good job in short space on on the jam.

I have a bad hip and I am just off some meds so I struggle to get around.....so I was pretty dissapointed with yesterday since it hurts just to walk and I can't make multiple practices...from a fan's perspective yesterday was very dissapointing.

I know his skill-set, but he did not play up to that last year. He was play like he did at Miami yesterday. He was aggressive and wanted the ball more than our WR's. That was my obserbvation. That has been other people's observation as well. Buchanon would have earned the starting spot from Faggins anyways with how he is playing IMO.

I agree. It was hard to see the linemen going at it on field 3. The LB's also stayed on field 3 mostly. The TE's and the WR's and QB's were the easiest to see on field 2.
