2014 Training Camp Observations Thread

[Antonio's Gates]

I have yet to see anything making Sorenson a "promising" QB prospect. Best case scenario is as a backup. We already have a backup signed for the next two years when his contract runs out.

Really? I've seen a young guy with poise in the pocket and a big arm.

Looked like Geathers was pancaked once. Carathers was handled too.

Not what I want to hear.

It is more that Ghelken and Ace have alleged it is close to a sure thing we keep three. No one is saying Sorensen is Rivers replacement.

[Beerman]

it's unlikely Sorensen is cut if our OC hand picked him and pushed for us to draft him. He would have to have a pretty poor camp for him to be cut (me thinks).

It just means the talent level across the board is much higher.

Again, Sorenson will not help this team win in any shape or form this season (or next more than likely).

Put him on the PS and keep a guy that can at least maybe help on STs.

I think this is perhaps where we agree to disagree on Sorensen and let what the team decides to do with him speak for itself.

Verrett taking punts. Cromartie, T Allen, Hatfield gunning.

How would you like to be a guy named Hatfield trying to make a roster coached by a McCoy?

Somebody please get a pic of those 2 together?

Y'all don't thank it be like it is but it do

Today, I thought the D was ahead of the O, as it should be early in camp. Flowers is the best cover CB, as he should be. Verrett didn't participate in team or one-on-one drills, but was taking punts...he looked good in one of those he returned vs. coverage (non-tackle). It wasn't Rivers' best day, getting picked twice by Weddle, his first two of camp. My angle wasn't very good to watch OL play, but interior DL wasn't getting much penetration, most pressure was from outside guys. They did send Addae in a blitz, but that handled well by who ever the QB was. Best part of the day was there were no evident injuries, heat related or not. Easily the best attended day, 4 deep along the fences.

Is there a public practice tomorrow?

Amazing the difference that Flowers has seemingly made in the secondary. It's even tempered my hate for Marshall since he won't be on the field.

I know he had a huge cap number, but the Chiefs made a mistake.

I'm excited to see him on the field with Verrett (eventually). The speed and coverage ability of our secondary will be vastly improved. Let's hope the interceptions follow.

[Bolt-O]

Is there a public practice tomorrow?

I don't think so. Next one is Thursday morning. I read somewhere that LT was going to cover the practice tomorrow on NFLN.

[Beerman]

@UTgehlken: Chris Watt took his hydration seriously. After being carted off field Sat., weighed 10 more lbs at practice today, he said. All water weight

Amusing. Reminds me of running with garbage bags on trying to drop water weight for wrestling in high school.

[blueman]

Aren't there 6 inactives every gameday? Why can't a 3rd QB be one of those?
