Training Camp Report For 08 August

No comment on Calvin, eh? 

He's running the 2nd team LT, which isn't too shabby. Herremans and Armstrong are running the top two LT spots.

Armstrong needs to bulk up a bit, IMO. He's tall and lanky(for an OT) but he has a good reach.

[Diomedes]

In other words, he's weak.

Like a newborn's philosphy on global trade.

That Peoples kid came from out of nowhere on Saturday. Interesting to hear that he's still doing well.

Great stuff Phreak.

Thanks Phreak, great stuff.

1. Ryan Moats had the longest run of the day. He broke off a 50+ yarder and was movin'! He took off around LT and turned upfield and was gone. He eventually was caught when he slowed down to wait for the WR to block downfield. When he was caught from behind - he fumbled. Mike Bartrum recovered, but Moats was not carrying the ball securely enough. He looked more worried about going to the house than if he was being chased and it cost him a fumble.

Unfortunately fumbling was a big problem in college.   I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

The bigger problem than the fumbling, at least now, is that we only have 2 healthy RBs.  McCoo might have to be released in order to get some fresh legs in there.

[BobbyT]

good stuff Five fo'

Same question as before, how has Andrews looked in pass protection?  His footwork, hands, etc. when he is backing up and can't just simply run over people.

Great report, thank you so much for the info.

[Dillen]

Moats is a fumbler. It is his weakness. The Eagles had better get that problem fixed, because he fumbles a lot.

Westbrook "fumbled alot" too as a LOT of people said before his breakout year, but he hardly ever fumbles..just saying.

westbrook has 6 career fumbles in 3 years.   Moats had something like 16 fumbles in his last two college seasons.

Coming out of college that was one of his weaknesses supposedly, that and size. Im just saying its not unordinary to fix it.

Solid. That's the best way I can describe him. I'm not being a homer when I say this, but I think he has a legit shot at a Pro-Bowl this year. And I would compare him to Larry Allen.

Everytime I see Shawn out there I become more of a fan. He's got some quick ass feet for being 350.

Yep. I bet they release McCoo and a guy like Grant Adams and pick up two UDFA-type kids to eat carries.
