Training camp thread 2026...

Stukes flashing too but yeah. I was really digging what I was seeing from Crawford so hopefully he doesn't lose his burst over this.

Might take two years to get it back. Should probably proceed as if he's not going to be a factor in the future.

What a gut punch.

Shoulda drafted a WR I guess.

I see Pregnon won the LG job in Jacksonville.

Douglas and Bell set to start at WR in Miami.

Those are the breaks. He was looking the part and I can't blame this one on Spytek. Actually this draft is looking pretty studly with Stukes, Washington, Mendoza, and Crawford. Hopefully Crawford can make an impact next year. Zuhn looked serviceable too.

next year.

Can’t wait.

My metric for a solid draft is two "plus" starters, and a third average one. If this draft nets us a franchise QB, Stukes turns into a good player, and one of Zuhn/Benson also start- than it's a solid draft. Washington is gravy. And if this season results in Tonka, JPJ, and Bech turning into contributors, then all the better.

None of them have played yet.

We going to edit out the preseason like it don't count.

That's some BS right there.

Playing grocery baggers in August means fuck all.

You know this.

Of course. I'm projecting off what we were able to see in preseason. Could turn out they all suck.
I did think both Stukes and Crawford flashed, Mendoza should be our franchise guy, and Washington I'm confident was a steal.

We are projecting guys that looked like shit to suck so...

I too like 223-pound RBs with explosive 4.3 speed, productive tape from the SEC and high football character.

I didn't think Mike Washington Jr. would get out of day 2. Steal for the Raiders at pick No. 122.

11 fumbles in four years of college probably was why he slid like he did. Hey, that rhymes, Busta!!!

He didn't show a lot of wiggle or make a lot of guys miss. Looked more like a one cut and go guy.
Some of that could well have been the system and what he was asked to do though.

Washington is strictly a north and south runner. He has zero wiggle to him.

Wiggled fine in preseason.

That’s what preseason is for. Real players won’t stand for that starting September 13.

I've always understood that's the Shanahan system, one cut and go downhill, no bouncing around.
