My takeaways:

The good:

- Rookies are looking good. Lattimore, Williams, Kamara, Anazalone all have had nice moments per reports
- Peterson seems to be an outlier (Happy to be wrong about this one)
- Chase will be an upgrade to McCown it seems
- Lutz may be our best K of the Payton era
- Peat is coming into his own
- Fuller is quietly putting in a strong bid for the 5th WR slot. Strong competition from Lampman as well
- LB depth is greatly improved and Nolan should make a big difference

The bad:
Honestly, not that much bad at this time of year other than injuries.

- Fairley situation. I really hope they didn't botch this and we have more dead weight on the cap. Hopefully he can play and if he can't, there's a fair injury settlement and this doesn't get ugly.
- Armstead - Really don't like him constantly being nicked up. Worried about this long-term health and once again more dead money.

The ugly:

- The media's stupid arse questions. You have Payton three times for the next 6 weeks and waste your questions with stupid shite about scheduling practices with the Texans, the same tired OTA rules changes, etc.
- Local media is really pretty bad outside of Underhill.
- Grayson - It's pretty clear they don't expect much from him at this point. I suspect if that Syracuse kid is even half decent, Grayson gets cut pretty early in camp. The experiment will be over soon.
- Fan stupidity. Some people just get hung up on things and build grudges against certain players. Currently, the guys I see the most irrational hate for are Fleener, Coleman and Crawley. Two of these are UDFA. WTF are you expecting? Fleener is overpriced (sorta) but wasn't terrible. I think he'll get better.

Anyone know if there is a video of the Mike Thomas TD catch?
