Training Camp

Mini has a very good defense but they rested a lot of their starters. 

It was nice to see the Ravens 2nd 3rds and beyond dominating that of the Vikes counterparts. That is what you want to see. This defense appears to have great depth all over it.

The ones who won't play alot of defense will be excellent special teams players.

Plus they can successfully rotate in and out to give the one's a break.

The ones for who was out there looked sad.  I would like to see nano run with them next week to see if it’s snoop who can’t get it going.  I’m close to cut bait time on Huntley.  To me the ol looks to be what I predicted.  I hope the d was just that one blown play.  Minny did move the ball but so did teams in 2000.

I'd like to see both Nano start and Austin get more playing time next week. Lets find out if we have better talent than Snoop.

[tsylvester]

Yeah, Snoop does niot need more action, he's been around the block quite often. Let Nano start, play the 1st half with the starting line, sans maybe Stanley, can't afford to lose him. 

[oldno82]

Sounds good to me.

[oldno82]

Interesting stat from yesterday's game: Lane only played 17 snaps, Sarratt 6 while Tez Walker played 30.

[tsylvester]

Minter's comments on the defensive line are great to hear. He thinks it will be the most competitive part of the roster. The young bulls have done well to shine. 

[GrubberRaven]

I think Snoop is stuck here due to contract.  Would like to be wrong, but...

Did someone get carted off?

[tsylvester]

No, no reports of a Raven player getting injured

[papasmurfbell]

It would be be an 850k hit this and next yr.  I say it’s worth it.

[oldno82]

If Nano plays well again Friday, they've got to keep him at least on the 53. If he goes to the practice squad, we'll lose him to another team. 

I want him here where he can provide some type of insurance if Lamar gets injured---or decides he won't sign an extension.

I want to see more of Austin Reed too. His UFL stats were other-worldly. 

The 850k hit is acceptable if it comes to that. 

[tsylvester]

It is gonna be interesting to see how Minter rosters this team. Generally there isn't room to keep 3 qbs on the 53 man roster

[oldno82]

It's been done before. Just last year, in fact, with Cooper Rush.

[papasmurfbell]

Keep nano and ps reed.

[oldno82]

Agree.
