It's funny because the guy in the movie who asks Jeff Goldblum that question is Asian.

When healthy Denver has a more talented defense than Seattle. I would take Ware and Von over anybody Seattle has on the front 7. Knighton is just as good as Mebane, they don't have Red Bryant anymore... Talib and Sherman are a wash, Ward is better than Chancellor, Harris is better than any corner they have outside of Sherman... Danny Trevathan is better than any linebacker they have. Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner and maybe Sherman (depending on who you ask) would be the only players on their defense who would start for Denver.

I'm going to camp in the morning. Will report back about the guys in shorts.

OMG.

Ban him, NOW. ****ing right ****ing now.

Only a Denver homer could witness his team getting stomped 43-8 in the Super Bowl and then claim a few months later that his team's defense is superior.

Denver was missing Von Miller, Chris Harris, Derek Wolfe, Kevin Vickerson and Rahim Moore in the Super Bowl. How would Seattle have looked without 5 starters on defense, two of them being their best defensive players.

Holy ****. What a pathetic homer.

All those guys suck save Von and Chris Harris.

You got a mudhole stomped in your ass. Deal with it, kid.

He's not a homer. He's a troll. A pretty good one too.

Observations from first full training camp practice
(highlights)

Charles delighted fans from the very beginning of the scrimmages during practice, taking a screen pass from quarterback Alex Smith and following his blockers for a would-be touchdown.

The passing game overall was on display, with Smith demonstrating both accuracy and distance.

Smith and wide receiver Donnie Avery connected for a fan-pleasing deep bomb, and Smith finished up his work day throwing a laser pass caught along the sideline by leaping A.J. Jenkins.

On the defensive side of the ball, the most noteworthy development was cornerbacks Marcus Cooper and Ron Parker lining up with the first team while Sean Smith played almost exclusively with the second team.

Smith began playing with the second team during offseason workouts last month following his arrest for driving under the influence. However, it’s still too early to draw conclusions on what this means for the eventual starting lineup.

Other observations from the first day of training camp:


• If there were questions concerning the Chiefs tight end position after last year’s flurry of injuries, the first training camp practice put many of those questions to bed. Anthony Fasano, Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris all made solid plays through the practice.

• Kelce continued to play with no limitations, and that is of particular importance following his injury-plagued rookie season and his continuing recovery from microfracture knee surgery. Kelce generally ran with the second team, while Harris continued to followup his impressive play from offseason workouts as the third tight end. All three received shared reps with the first-team offense.



• The first-team offensive line consisted of left tackle Eric Fisher, left guard Jeff Allen, center Rodney Hudson, right guard Rishaw Johnson and right tackle Donald Stephenson. During offseason workouts, Johnson frequently shared first-team reps with sixth-round draft pick Zach Fulton. While Johnson drew all the first-team reps Thursday, Fulton saw extended duty on both the second- and third-team offensive lines.

• Recent free-agent signee Ryan Harris lined up at left tackle on the second team with J’Marcus Webb holding down the right tackle slot. Filling out the second-team line was Jeff Linkenbach at right guard, second-year player Eric Cush at center and Fulton at right guard.



• Both veteran kicker Ryan Succop and rookie undrafted free agent Cairo Santos were a perfect 6-for-6 in field goal drills, although the longest kick was from just 43 yards. Both kickers showed accuracy, although Santos demonstrated his booming leg during kickoff drills with kicks reaching the back of the end zone.



• With the passing game on display in the first training camp practice, it’s no surprise that wide receivers may have stood out the most. Free agent Mark Harrison, who was signed just more than a month ago, made several big catches, including making an adjustment on a ball throw behind him by rookie quarterback Aaron Murray. Harrison made the grab and beat cornerback Brandon Jones for a touchdown. Harrison also made another athletic catch on a throw by Tyler Bray.

• Also making big plays on offense were wide receivers Dressler and rookie free agent Darryl Surgent. Dressler made several catches in traffic out of the slot positions, while Surgent also made a nice catch in coverage on a pass from Murray.

• In addition to lining up third for kickoff returns, rookie wide receiver Wilson also received some first-team reps late in practice.

[Hootie]

Rahim Moore made Joe Flacco like $60M extra dollars. He's so good!!

[ThaVirus]

KnowMo isn't a troll. I've got a nose for trolls.

That douchebag actually believes all the shit that comes out of his cock sucker.

Josh Mauga signed a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.

No, it's really not depending on who you ask. You're literally the only stupid mother ****er in this world that would take Talib over Sherman. Talib's parents would take Sherman over him too.

Ward is not better than Chancellor or Earl Thomas. It's not even close really.

You can blame the defense missing starters, but your "all world" offense scored 8 points. 8. So keep conjuring up the excuses, that one doesn't hold an ounce of water.

Chris Harris is a scab. Rahim Moore is too.
