So my observations from Camp Today:

Practice definitely has a very no nonsense feel to it. There was very little standing around. Transitioning between different drills was quick. No wasted time. Very different from Camp Cupcake last year.

Man the new updated helmets really POPPED in person. I mean they looked stunning! I was really impressed.


Zach Pascal really stole the show today. Big physical WR. Had a great catch in traffic from McCoy where Simmons read the play and should have intercepted the ball but Pascal somehow came down with it. He had another catch from Tune that was a thing of beauty. Just came away really impressed with Pascal!

Hollywood and Rondale both looked great out there as well. Man they are quick! Both had a couple nice catches. Rondale had a nice deep out catch. Was nice to see Rondale catching the ball down field.

While on the WRs I think Michael Wilson is the clear #4 WR right now. He looked good as well.

James Conner looks great. He looks like a beast out there.


I didn't get to see much of the Defense. However I did notice that during the 11 on 11 drills there were two distinct formations.

One formation had Simmons playing center field behind Budda and Jalen with White in the middle by himself.

The other formation had Krys Barnes next to White with Simmons on the sideline with Budda and Jalen as the two deep safeties.

Zaven and Gardeck were Standing up on the Edge.

Then they had 3 DL who I had a hard time seeing numbers. I did spot Carlos Watkins, Fotu, Ledbetter and Cam Thomas out there a couple of times with the ones.

Overall I was impressed with the flow and how crisp practice went.

Also it was a very small crowd. I'd guess maybe 600-700 people attended the first practice.

Here is a photo that I snapped of the formation with Simmons playing center field with Budda and Jalen 5 yards in front of him.

I only care about how many cellphone breaks they got.

Agree completely. Normally, I am planning out multiple games we may be attending. This year we are planning to go to the home opener just out of principle but it could turn out to be the only game. Some of that is based on timing of when home game fell but also may depend on direction of season. I told my wife if the team is truly in tank mode and getting killed every week, we won't put too much emphasis on wasting money to travel out and watch them.

I hear you bro. Same here, we're only coming over the the Bengals game. A birthday present for my wife because she's a Joe Burrow fan. How sad is that, we're coming over just so she can watch the opposing QB. I'll buy those tix from you!

Did Tune look like a NFL QB?

Lol. That’s actually my birthday weekend but we usually have a big balloon fiesta party the first weekend. Those tix will most likely be available.
