re: Training Camp Tweets 8/5/17 *Lattimore stretching but not practicing*

What is this I hear about Warford? Praying it's a cramp. Read a tweet that said he left on a cart

Everyone gets carted off for leg injuries. It's not like a football game, it doesn't mean it is serious. It's a long walk back to the facility

yup and he was stretching and everything prior to that. If it was a serious leg injuries, definitely wouldn't even attempt at stretching. Sounds more like cramps and stings.

Not sure if people would agree, but after seeing some practice and whatnot these are what worries me still (and what doesn't as much).

Still worried about:
Center - all these high snaps would murder us during a game, not as much anywhere else since Ramcyzk looks like the part at LT, Peat and Warford locked down the guards, and Strief is ever so lunch pail to work.

DE opposite Jordan - Either Ramcyzk is a stud or Okafor/Gwachum/Kikaha are getting stopped way too often. Generating pressure isn't going to be pretty from that side still.

Health - Although its probably cramps and a long walk, just can't shake that feeling of us being unlucky one day. *knock on wood*

Things I'm not worried about that I was before:
Offensive Production - We were worried outside of Ingram/Thomas/Snead what happens if they get injured becuase depth was questionable.

Yes Fleener is underwhelming at times, not sure to trust Hill for a full season, Coleman has his off days to go with his good like usual, Fuller isn't a complete receiver, but the addition of Kamara seems to be that missing factor the last few years without Sproles. Peterson looks like he's still got some in the tank.

Maybe being a run heavy team wouldn't be a horrible idea.
Our best offensive year was 2011, threw it 662 times to 431 runs, but it was still 60.5 to 39.5. But we have options, it might be smarter to go the 2016 contenders (ATL, NE, Dallas) route, closer to 55-45. Control the game, allow the defense to rest, and reduce turnovers.

NO: 674 pass to 404 run (62.5 to 37.5) - 24 turnovers
ATL: 537 pass to 421 run (56.1 to 43.9) - 11 turnovers
NE: 550 pass to 482 run (53.3 to 46.7) - 11 turnovers
Dallas: 483 pass to 499 run (49.2 to 50.8) - 15 turnovers

Linebackers - they seem to move a lot more fluid and not as hesitant. Still a botched play here or there, but they seem to be in position more often than not. Its going to be interesting who Nolan trots out, but you could see the difference in them...literally night and day. Maybe its talent (Anzalone and Klein > Stupar and Robertson), but even Anthony has looked less hesitant and more fluid. Anthony-Anzalone are pretty athletic, but Klein is pretty underrated in that department IMHO.

WLB: Anthony, Robertson
MLB: Klein, Te'o
SLB: Anzalone, Klein

Secondary - healthy and I think this team is a <20 ranked defense for sure, but even our backups look a lot more solid than last year. They gotta show it though, health is HUGE for them this year...all top 3 guys have big question marks.
Crawley has been stepping up and looked like he wants that starting spot. Harris looks like he's securing that 5th spot. We probably keep 6 guys with one being a vet (Moore). Williams looks like a ball hawk, he may not get there all the time, but dude is in the vicinity to make QBs think twice.

CB: Breaux, Lattimore, Williams, Crawley, Harris, Moore
S: Vaccaro, Bell, Williams, Bush

That's how you make a good post. Excellent write up better than any "media" I've read so far

Heat snuck up on everybody today
