Mini-Camp Tailgate Party

[Scaga]

Phil posted on another thread that maybe we should have a get-together for the upcoming mini-camp.

Anybody up for this?

[Saulbadguy]

As long as Zach won't be there...

[jspchief]

I'm actually considering coming down. I've never attended any off-season activities before, but I think I might give it a shot.

If I do come, I'd be all for tailgating.

Anyone have info on the details of the minicamp? Dates, Times, Admission, etc.

Ditto. I am planning to come down on the 18th as well.

I'm guessing the schedule goes something like this.

Gates open to parking lot at 10a.m.
Gates open to Arrowhead at 11a.m.
Practice/Mini-Camp at 12p.m.

Gates open at 10am (admission is free)
Stadium opens at 11am
Practive from approximately noon - 2pm

I'll be coming up to KC with the family, having a Father's Day BBQ that evening at the Sister-in-Law's house a few minutes from the stadium. I've never had the opportunity to swing by the ChiefsPlanet gatherings, and this sounds like that opportunity. If it gets put together, please publish where the gathering will be.

Thanks!

[Coach]

There we go.

[KChiefs1]

I'll be there with my wife...I'd like to swing by & check it out.

[BigRedChief]

In a baseball tournament that weekend and won't know the schedule until Thrusday of that week. If I don't have a conflict I'm in as well....

[Edubs]

I am in......got a group going.....plan on getting nice and drunk before going to a stuppid wedding that night.

[C-Mac]

"My brother and I would like to know if theres any way you could like....set up....like close to the Beer Garden...eh?"

FYI, Clemens is pitching Friday night. Damnation..the only game I can't make it to.

Yeah, would have been nice if he was pitching on Saturday. That would be fun. Either way, I'm planning to go to the Royals game on Saturday as well, since I figured I'll be on that side of the city for a period of time, so why not just get some Royals tickets.

[Phobia]

Whats the latest?

We're planning on a get together. For those of us planning to attend, we should setup a call tree. Next person to post on this thread gets PMed my phone #. He should PM his mobile # to the next person who posts and so on. Instead of B-5, we should really have it near SCAGA's camper. I don't know where they'll park him, but that's probably a convenient spot. Right?

BYOB BYOF.

New plan....
Won't have the camper at the tailgate. It'll be parked at the Worlds of Fun Village as we're now coming up Friday, God willing. I've got a brother-in-law in the hospital right now and things aren't looking too good.

Hopefully I'll still get a chance to meet up with everyone and down a few cold ones.

[Rick]

I'm in too. Are you staying the night or coming back? It could turn out to be casino night as well. Maybe we'll hang out or are you taking both rug rats?

Ah, well I hope that your brother in law gets better soon. My prayers are with you and the family.

I'm guessing we'll go back to the old B-5 now Phil?

[teedubya]

Im gonna be there... Im jonezin so hard for some Chiefs Football, i just gotta be there. if it also involves drinking beer with a few of you ****ers, then so be it.

Im going to the Royals game on Friday, also.

Funny enough...we'll be in a Yukon XL (dark gray).
I do have a Chiefs flag, but no flagpole that will work in the parking lot.
I'll drape the thing over the back of the truck if I have to.

If I were you I would be careful. Phil has a new magic trick. It's called the disappearing Yukon.

Anyone have any idea what kind of crowd this will draw? Will there be any trouble actually getting to b-5 if you don't get there early enough?

By looking at these posts, probably a pretty dang rough crowd.
I suggest going incognito and maybe wearing an old Bronco's jersey.

I have no idea. Which is why we need to do a phone number exchange/tree so we can still hook up if B5 falls through for whatever reason.

Heh! Good one! ROFL

[BigRedChief]

Phil,

We had kicked around the idea of the Planet buying some kind of tailgate apparatus for a tailgate BBQ to have at each game etc. What happened with that? Not enough interest?

[Saulbadguy]

I doubt there will be too many people there. I went to the last one, and it wasn't crowded at all. We parked right next to the stadium.

[ExtremeChief]

I'm not going to be there because I still owe Saul beer and I'm broke.

[jspchief]

I doubt there will be too many people there. I went to the last one, and it wasn't crowded at all. We parked right next to the stadium.I plan on getting there early, so it won't be a problem for me. But I could just see me parked at the B-5 pole, while everyone that arrived later is parked 400 yards away.

Looks like it will be me, my damn dirty Bronco fan wife, and my little girl. I plan on grilling, and doing it up like any gameday tailgate. My wife will likely be driving my ass home.

Just look for this Suburban

No. Not really. Not to do it right, there's not. We can continue to do the amateurish thing like we have planned for Saturday, though. That should be fun anyway. But everybody has to bring their own stuff.

and I don't get to go because I live to freaking far away.....:deevee: now didn't I just make your day...ROFL

I went to the last one also and there was hardly a crowd at all, but they didn't have the 10am beer garden and live rock and roll last time.
The only parking problem you should have is dipchit parking lot attendants . Everytime I go to either stadium they end up parking me in a lot 3 miles away from the stadiums, with miles of empty parking spaces between me and the gate.


They actually make it sound like it is going to be a good event for both the true acoholic season ticket holder real fans, and the family guys with mediocre fanship that like to watch and support a team via Time Warner.

Normally, I don't condone ignoring "authority" figures, but those damn parking lot nazis have to go. Drive past them to the B lot and park as close as you can to B5. If they approach you, tell them firmly that you're meeting your family there and you can't call them on a cell phone. I kinda doubt the parking lot nazis will be out in force for this event considering there is no charge, but there will certainly be some. They don't make enough money to want to mess with the non-conformists. So once they realize you aren't budging, they'll turn their attention to the rest of the vehicles.

Ok guys, my Suburban is all loaded up, and I'll be hitting the road early tomorrow morning.

If you want to pack light, anyone is welcome to use my grill and whatever space I've got in my cooler (which may be sparse).

Also, I have a big 10' x 10' tent/awning, so that will provide some relief from the sun. I'll try and get there first thing, so it can be in the middle of things for all to use.

I plan on getting as close to the B-5 pole as possible. I'll keep an eye out for Phil's truck, and my suburban will have the flag flying.

Looking forward to putting some faces to the usernames. :thumb:

There weren't as many people there as I expected (at the tailgate). There was a little over 15k people at the event though. I was surprised by that. At the 2003 mini-camp there weren't near as many, IIRC. At the tailgate, that I saw...

an hour and 15 minutes was good enough. Larry Johnson kept getting my attention, he looked good out there.

Surtain didnt really impress me unfortunately. And Derrick Johnson was all over the place.

At least from my perspective... but hard to say... its mini camp, you know?

I felt the same way.

BTW, your man Dustin Colquitt looked AWESOME. Tons of hang time, and Dante could not field alot of them due to the "abnormal spin" put on by the left foot kick.

[keg in kc]

Colquitt kicked knuckle balls half the time, looks like a bitch to field. I don't think he kicked many longer than 40 yards or so, but his hang time was great. You could really see the difference when Murphy punted.

Got that "here we go again" feeling when Battle went down. Looked like cramps, but I didn't like seeing the cart.

There were 15k as long as everybody spun the turnstile 3x going through.

I'd be shocked if there were actually more than 5k. The lower level was roughly 10% full and nobody was in the upper levels.

[mlyonsd]

How did the receivers look?

[Phobia]

Got that "here we go again" feeling when Battle went down. Looked like cramps, but I didn't like seeing the cart.

I was pretty close to that. Looked like a minor ankle twist to me - the variety where he'd get it wrapped for a game, but took a cart precaution for minicamp.

[Phobia]

How did the receivers look?

#6 looked really quick AND fast, but he dropped a couple gimmees. Dante made a couple decent grabs. Other than that, nothing spectatular.

[Raiderhater]

Did anyone get one of the free t-shirts? I wasn't about to go in to the middle of an angry mob fighting for a $5 hanes. I just wonder what they said/looked like.


We left about 5 minutes before that to go do some more drinking. I think we got the better deal.

[Reaper16]

Was it Battle that got injured and carted off the field? (nm, answered.)

LJ looked good, and Preist is fit. I caught a t-shirt thrown by Priest at the end, snagged it one-handed in quadruple coverage. Bitches.

DJ looks like an athlete, he moves with such fluidity. Key Fox looked good to me, really quick and athletic, and made a great deflection off of Collins. (Maybe Huard, dunno.)

Richard Smith made some dandy catches out there. The only times I really noticed Boomer was when he was out of position on screens. I don't really recall seeing Scanlon take a snap, I must have missed him.

Sorry I was so quiet at the tailgate, I had a little case of the bubbleguts going on. Phobia's food defintely helped, though.

[keg in kc]

#6 looked really quick AND fast, but he dropped a couple gimmees. Dante made a couple decent grabs. Other than that, nothing spectatular.Thorpe had a couple of nice catches, too.

Course, it was all backups throwing the ball.

[Raiderhater]

I don't know. One of my sisters called in the middle of it, and I told her I thought there were about 10K. Hearing 15K didn't surprise me.



Well, for someone who is used to being alone all the time, I can see how your perception of a large group of people would be off kilter.

[keg in kc]

The only times I really noticed Boomer was when he was out of position on screens. I don't really recall seeing Scanlon take a snap, I must have missed him.Yeah, I didn't notice Boomer or Scanlon, either. Johnson looked good. Thought the first team LBs (including Mitchell) looked fine.

[teedubya]

who is #12 receiver? That dude was tall and fast... i was fairly impressed with what I saw of him.

[keg in kc]

Well, for someone who is used to being alone all the time, I can see how your perception of a large group of people would be off kilter.Whatever.

[teedubya]

yeah Mitchell was playing solid. My guess is he is the starting LB.

[Raiderhater]

Whatever.


:p

[keg in kc]

[keg in kc]

I didn't really see much of the secondary. My sister (who I hadn't talked to in almost a year, so I took the call...) called during the 7 on 9s and 7 on 7s.

[Phobia]

Looking at the parking lot, I could believe 15k. Not inside. There were very few people there.

Looked like a Raiders home game.

[|Zach|]

Whatever.

Shhhh...Scanlon is listening

[keg in kc]

Shhhh...Scanlon is listeningOh, that explains it. Because he didn't seem to be playing.

Oh, that explains it. Because he didn't seem to be playing.

Never saw him Not once.

I think he was in the locker room receiving felatio from the Roys and scanfan.

[Phobia]

[stevieray]

ahhhh...to be in Arrowhead again....

I sat in the west endzone so I could watch the defense. Scanlon was there, but not participating, he was hanging with Fujita, along with barber and Maz. Mitchell is more muscular, and looked faster. Watched Kendrell Bell come form the opposite side to shutdown a play at he sideline, Key fox looks bigger and fast. Derrick Johnson is smoooooooth. Athletic as hell.

You can tell a huge difference from last year

dlineman mostly worked on technique drills. Everyone looks in shape except sims, but I'm starting to think the dude is just stronger than he looks, but you never know. Jared Allen doesn't look out of shape. Wilkerson looked good on de sack drills.

Priest looks like Priest, which is saying alot.

I didn't get to see the Wr's, except on the jumbotron, but the crowd was getting into it.

[jspchief]

Hey guys, just got home about an hour ago.

First, I want to say it was great to meet everyone. Being a new guy, it was nice to get a warm reception. I look forward to another chance to have a few beers.

As far as the practice, here's what I noticed:

The receivers caught everything, both routine and difficult. I saw some guys really go up an get some passes. I wasn't sure on names to go with some of the new guy numbers, but everyone looked very solid. As Phobia said, #6 (whoever the hell that is) looked really good. He was fast, and shifty. I'm not sure if he was just giving more effort or what, but the guy stood out.

Damon Huard sucks. Even in very light action (no defense), his passes were off target a lot IMO. If this guy ever has to be the man, we're fooked. I'm officially rooting for the rookie to beat him out.

The defense was mostly at the other end, but what I saw looked good. DJ made a nice play, and Fox made several nice plays (that I saw).

Holmes is a man among boys. He just stands out. Watching him burn down the field never gets old.

[Phobia]

Heh heh. I though Huard looked pretty good. He's #11, right? 'course I only watched him throw half a dozen balls, but he looked smooth to me.

[Phobia]

Of course - you know I was more attentive to the 5 year old boy sitting next to me than the 100 ball players on the field. Heh. Kid was full of personality.

[jspchief]

Heh heh. I though Huard looked pretty good. He's #11, right? 'course I only watched him throw half a dozen balls, but he looked smooth to me.Yea, I'm probably being too hard on him. I just know that every time there was an errant pass, he was the guy QBing. And some of them were pretty bad, in pretty relaxed settings. Collins looked pretty good IMO, and I don't think I saw Green throw a single ball.

[Phobia]

Collins looked real good except for the time he threw out into triple coverage in the right flat when EK was open in man over the top.

[Frosty]

As Phobia said, #6 (whoever the hell that is) looked really good. He was fast, and shifty. I'm not sure if he was just giving more effort or what, but the guy stood out.

#6 is Nathaniel Curry

[Logical]

Just curious did you see Siavii, I have not heard a thing about him this offseason. Kind of hard for a guy that big to disappear but it seems he has.

[Phobia]

Biggest dude on the field appeared to be #77, so no - Junior didn't stand out. Not for me.

[stevieray]

Just curious did you see Siavii, I have not heard a thing about him this offseason. Kind of hard for a guy that big to disappear but it seems he has.

I did. He's in shape. And huge. They were mostly working on hand techniques, etc

[chiefs4me]

Nobody has mentioned Tony.....

[Bowser]

Nobody has mentioned Tony.....

I don't think Gonzo was there. Or if he was, is he still in that walking boot?

[stevieray]

I don't think Gonzo was there. Or if he was, is he still in that walking boot?
He was, and isn't.

[Bowser]

He was, and isn't.

Was he running routes, or just keeping Boerigter company?

[stevieray]

Was he running routes, or just keeping Boerigter company?

TRich

[Chiefaholic]

To answer a few questions...

1. You forgot my name on the list of people that showed up. I introdused myself to raiderhater, Pink, Phil, Stevie ray, and Weirdwolf. I even bought a Planet shirt while I was there.

2. Yes Tony was there, just didn't work out with everybody else. However, my daughter caught one of the shirts thrown into the crowd from none other than Tony himself.

3. The shirt was a basis white T-Shirt with a small logo across the chest with the words, "Hungry for football?" "Sneak Preview, Chiefs Mini Camp, Saturday-June 18,2005" On the back, there were 5 ads "Lee Dungarees, Can't Bust Them since 1889" , "105.1 JACK FM, Playing what we want", "94.9 KCMO, Greatest Hits of the 60's and 70's", 710 KCMO Fox News talk radio", and "101 the Fox, Classic Rock & Roll"

4. Colquitt had some incredible hang time on his punts (some well over 5 seconds) and the left footed kick does make a difference. Kennison dropped it twice and Hall dropped it once that I noticed.

5. I don't know what Vermeil didn't see in Thorpe (#12). The guy has amazing speed and caught everything thrown his way. He's going to be something special one day.

6. S. Parker ran nice routes and cuaght everything thrown his way as well. Reguardless of the Mitchell signing, it looks like the #2 spot is his to lose.

7. Richard Smith looked good as well... We're stacked at the WR position

8. Kris Wilson is everything Vermeil said he was last offseason. Opposing defenses are going to have a hell of a time covering all our offensive weapons.

9. Holmes was injured????? I sure as hell couldn't tell? The guy is a freak!!!

10. Wesley is still starting over Woods and deserves the spot. Woods and Sapp were double covering a WR (forgot who) and let the ball fall right into the WR's hands befor getting burnt into the endzone.

11. D. Johnson WILL be something very special in this league.

Hey, are you holding out on the pics? What gives! Post!

So, who hooked up?

[C-Mac]

Just got back in Arkansas and I regret not meeting many of you today. Even though I had parked my Chiefs Red Camaro convertable right next to Phil's big white Ford truck, I had some other family members in another vehicle that were gung ho to hurry up and.....wait! So I was hoping that after the practice there would still be a crowd but it had slimmed down quite a bit. There was definetly a large group at B5 before the practice. I was glad I did get to meet Stevie and his wife and also mister Phil. Overall it was a great time and I have a few pic's to share so I will throw them out at you. The Planet shirts and new hats looked real good and guess what....the Planet Logo was Chiefs red and not Redskin rouge!

[C-Mac]

The Boomer fan section was awesome, but unfortunety Boomer didnt stand out today. I suspect when the pads go on things will change quickly.

[C-Mac]

Lamar was there in person today

[C-Mac]

This is a picture if FredEx in the foreground in the lite blue shirt watching the pass catching clinic and particularly Mr Smith. I saw some very spectacular catches today...impressive outing for the recievers.

ROFL She still hasn't found her way back, huh?

[Coach]

Well, I just got home today at 7:00 this evening, and first of all, I just wanted to say that it was good seeing some of you guys at B-5. I arrived around 9:30 in the morning at the lot C, and walked my way over to B-5 and I only saw raiderhater standing there by himself, and I introduced myself to him there and we were chilling there for awhile, until we saw Phil's big truck (Damn, that thing is huge :eek: ) driving up and parked over at the C lot, and we walked our way over there and I introduced myself to Phil and his wife Pink, along with their kids. Then, I walked around, just taking a few photos of Arrowhead, and came back and saw that they moved to the B-5 spot, so I thought it was cool. Then got to met several guys over there as well. In all, I had a great time meeting some of you folks, and I look forward to do that again sometime in the near future. By the way, jspchief, that burger you gave to me, was damned good. :)

Here are a few links of some photos that I managed to capture. By the way, ignore the date, since I know it is wrong, but since I put in new batteries in it on the 18th, I didn't had time to mess with the date.

[ZootedGranny]

DigitalTakawira and I went to the mini camp, and when first sitting down, realized that we were sitting in front of the offense, while the defense was on the complete other side of the field, with half the amount of people watching.

We walked over and spent the rest of the practice seeing the improvements on D.

Sims looked as if he had been eating 24/7 during the offseason. He was constantly winded, and looked lethargic, from what I saw, though I've read positive things happened when apparently I wasn't watching.

The WRs dominated the corners for the most part, and both Thorpe and Curry were savages.

Colquitt's hangtime is utterly ridiculous, though half of his kicks lacked any spin at all. Once or twice the entire defense was standing within a couple of yards of the returner waiting for the ball to come down.

My appreciation for the Chiefs sweep technique and how Priest moves behind it did nothing but grow. Sitting in the endzone, it's amazing to see how fast the line pulls and the holes open and close. It was as if nothing had happened to Priest, he looked as fast as usual.

My favorite play of the day was watching Samie Parker decimate someone on a double move, while Collins looked to Kris Wilson across the middle. What looked to be a perfect pass was broken up at the last millisecond by a trailing Derrick Johnson.

[C-Mac]

I got to share this one.
I suppose everyone has one of those guys close to them in the stands that perhaps has drank a little more than most and is a little more vocal than most. I had these 2 guys in front of us that I nicknamed the "tappet brothers" that were yelling out the players names. I have to admit they were cracking me up with their annoyances when they would holler out. Its like they would sit there quietly scouting, drinking their beer, then without warning just jump up and yell a players name.
"Eddie"
"Alp-hon-zo"
"Freddy"
Most of the players would, with much hesitation and a maybe a little fear, turn around or look over and wave at the stands.

I wish I could have caught more of him but this is just a snipet.

Yeah - I had a good time. Practice was kinda boring, but the price was right. I think I spent $20 on beer, $20 on rum, $25 on some food, and $31 on a Planet shirt and cap.... Not a bad day to entertain the whole damn family on that, plus I get to keep the Planet gear.

By the way, what the hell was wrong with the CB's when they were playing one-on-one aganist the WR's? Damn, obviously they need bigger cleats or something, since they were flopping all over the place.

Nice meeting the CP folks at B5. Putting names with faces is always good.


Took a bunch of digital pics of minicamp will post once I get back home to upload.

Looking forward to a great season.

Thanks again to Phil and Pink for hosting and cooking some great pulled pork.

What really sucked was the fact that water was $4, and the water fountains where turned off, and beer was $6.75. Way to go, Carl. :shake:

Thanks for the use of your cell. I owe you some beers.
She made it there about 30 minutes after you guys left.
It was nice seeing you guys. I hope to make it to a couple of games this year, but money has been real tight since last August.

[jynni]

We had a pretty good time. I got fried as I was too stupid to remember to put on sunscreen, despite the fact that I got fried last time I went to the minicamp. Chilled aloe with lidocaine is a godsend.

I was amazed at how many people showed up - there was 2-3X more than the last time I went. It's not surprising that it didn't look very full as Arrowhead tends to swallow up smaller crowds.

We sat in the East endzone and had a great view of the receiver's practice. I too felt guilty at thinking "Oh - it was only Battle" when he went down. Parker and Smith made some awesome catches and Sutain is a very physical corner. I remember thinking more than once "Illegal contact - defense #23". Sapp and Battle (before he got hurt) were getting burned all over the field.

LJ looks great as did the Priest.

Did anyone else notice that giant TE? (http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/willie_walden/) I don't think he did anything and is probably just camp fodder but the roster listed him at 6'7". We just kept thinking "damn he's tall". He's the kind you stand in the back of the end zone and just say "Jump when the ball is thrown".

I did noticed the TE as he stood out in terms of height and size from the other TE's and I thought he was an O-Line until I looked up on the program where they had him listed as a TE. You never know, he might have a good shot as a PS player.

[ct]

Did anyone get one of the free t-shirts? I wasn't about to go in to the middle of an angry mob fighting for a $5 hanes. I just wonder what they said/looked like.

We got 3 of them, and yeah they are pretty cheap, but hey, they're free! My wife caught one, then my sis-in-law, and the last one thrown on my side was K.Bell. I swear he looked right up at me, and threw a perfect lob right to me, kinda cool. I think I'm gonna have to get a #99 jersey instead of #95 I'd been planning. Although DJ looked bad a$$! So a #56 would feel pretty good too!

Sorry I didn't make it to the talkgate gathering. Had my 2 little kids with me, and my son Jay (4) really wanted to go jump around in the Fox inflatable thingy, and my daughter Hallee (7) wanted to see the Cheerleaders. Now how am I supposed to pass that up? :)

We got 3 of them, and yeah they are pretty cheap, but hey, they're free! My wife caught one, then my sis-in-law, and the last one thrown on my side was K.Bell.

Family comes first. Especially cute little ones jumping around in moonwalks.

My standout impressions from practice:

Priest and LJ both just look awesome!! Especially pleased to see Priest with the signiature burst and finding the right hole. I know the practice is designed to let the RB go by with little more than a touch, but a couple plays were legit breakthroughs. There was a UdFA RB, #41 I think, can't remember his name, looked like he had some potential. Anybody help me out with that?

Huard sucks, but so does the rook, Killian, although he's got some nice wheels. Nice QB bootleg to show off those wheels and he broke clean around the edge for a big gain. Not impressed with the passing, got a long ways to go.

DJ is a stud!! Despite the fact I was impressed with Fox, there is absolutely no way DJ is out of the starting LB group. Same for Kawika, he looked pretty good, made some nice plays. Scanlon didn't practice at all, but Boomer did, and he didn't make any plays that I saw, other than chase down a RB after being out of position to stop the play initially. Bell looks healthy to me, saw some good plays from him. Over all I am psyched about our LBs!!!

The WRs dominated the DBs, in my opinion. Sammie Parker is for real! He was smooth and make every play. Burned Surtain on 1 occasion. I thought Thorpe looked pretty good, but saw him blow a couple plays. One thing I noticed on individual drills, his pattern was lazy, not sharp. Then Booth and Curry followed him with very crisp execution of the same pattern. Richard Smith looked very sharp. Our WRs look just fine as is, and looks like we're gonna have to cut a couple guys that really could warrent a roster spot. If we get anything positive out of Freddie, we are set! Bo didn't practice, but did work out before practice, and didn't show any favoritism for his knee(he was wearing a brace). Chris Horn also worked out before practice along with Bo, didn't seem to be injured at all.

Tough break with Battle, looked like no more than an ankle sprain, until he was writhing around in pain, and many teammates came over to support him. Once the cart came out, I knew he was done. I can't say I noticed anything special about his play, but putting Dexter back in the starting lineup if Warfield gets suspended does not sit well with me. Only standout note on the DBs was Hodge is very raw, but this guy looks like he really could be somethin in the future. He is very aggressive and determined. He fights very hard on every play he was out there, didn't give an inch to anybody. Very tenacious player, and that excites me down the road for him.

EDIT: Oh and by the way, Dustin Colquitt is da bomb!! Huge, huge hangtime! Very impressive! Punting problem solved.

[C-Mac]

What do you think of Hodge? I was pretty impressed. Kid works his butt off!

I was impressed also. Players that were impressive and stood out to me were:
D Johnson- he was verywhere
S Parker- fast\caught everything
K Bell- quick and fast
A Hodge-aggressive and stuck to his man
D Colquitt-I wont be surprised if he becomes best punter in league
C Thorpe-little green\ caught some impressive throws
R Smith-fast\caught everything
K Mitchelle-was in right place to make a play
K Wilson-along with TG, another lethal weapon and D nightmare
T Collins-impressive passing all day

I'll refresh this page once the pads get on...
