FWIW, Jets haven't even had a practice yet.

ROFL

I'm seriously getting tired of looking at the midget. Either he performs this year or please, please, PLEASE....gtfo.

This has GOT to be Baldwin's last shot.

One of the OL could be an odd man out.

Lotta guys for a few spots in there.

This wouldn't be a shock, but I think several Pioli guys that would normally receive extra time could be getting ****ed. I'm expecting one or two out of the following to get cut: Cyrus Gray, Devon Wylie, Allen Bailey, Junior Hemingway, Jon Baldwin, Jeff Allen, Jalil Brown.

I WANT to see these guys get cut, but I know it won't happen because my life sucks and nothing ever good happens to me: Dexter McCluster, Tony Moeaki, Akeem Jordan, Kendrick Lewis

My pulling-shit-out-of-my-ass-super-surprise-cut pick, however, is:


Rodney Hudson

We've never seen him play at a high level and he's never had time to develop his craft due to two season-ending injuries. New coaching staff, fresh slate. If he doesn't play like the starter, I have a hard time believing he will be the starter, and if he's not the starter, I think his ass will be cut.

i cant wait for Tyson Jacksons stupid salary to **** off and they can use that money to lock up Houston and maybe finally get some real d-lineman in here

IIRC, he only missed one season due to an injury.

His salary technically has already ****ed off. We've already paid him the worst parts of it, and this past offseason we've gotten it whittled down to chump change. He'll do his usual Tyson Jackson thing, and then we'll let his contract expire at the end of the year and move on.

I'd rather see Hudson at G, instead of cutting him.

1.5 seasons out of 2. All of his rookie year and then in 2012 he had another one. Lilja had to fill in the rest of the way.

exactly, dont re-sign him just let him walk and the contract die, free up the space and use it on other stuff

We have found the whiny bitch of training camp

He didn't miss time with an injury his rookie year I don't think, did he?

Last year was his only injury time I thought.

I didn't think it was worth a new thread or digging up a Belcher thread, but Yahoo fantasy main page currently has a picture of him tackling McFadden. Just a guess, but I am thinking that will be changed when they realize they currently have a murderer on their main page.

Ah, yep. I'm full of shit. You're right.

IIRC, he didn't start any though his rookie year, save 1 game.

Thats probably what you're thinking of.

And to make it better the title of the article with his picture is "conjuring fear".

LMAO

Somebody at yahoo is having a bad day. An article about injuries, entitled "Conjuring Fear", with Belcher tackling a guy.

that poor intern that gets fired over that

Eric Berry

http://distilleryimage5.ak.instagram...0aa8048a_7.jpg

Berry knows what hes doing lol

Uncle D pulls a Kaep. He gave an interview on KCTV 5 this morning saying his business increases 40% during Chiefs training camp...while sporting a Redskins cap.

Yeah since he played a shit ton with a horrible QB. This is definitely his last shot lol.

Saw him at River Falls some years ago and even though he made a remark he signed my KC helmet and a friend of mine's football.

Yep,D loves his Redskins.

Matt Cassel's lack of talent has even less to do with Baldwin's. The guy is slop at best. Another stellar Peeholi pick.

Baldwin's case is just ridiculous. All he needs to do is go to the sideline or corner of the endzone and jump real high.

It's really that simple.

And someone getting him the ball

Which is hilarious because didn't he suggest to Dimitroff that he should trade up for Julio Jones so that Baldwin would be there for him. I heard that somewhere. Outsmarting himself. LMAO

All Alex Smith does, if anything, is safe throws. Up real high towards out of bounds.

The guy has great size, great straight line speed and great leaping ability. Why the previous coaching regimes were asking him to make quick cuts is just beyond me. With a guy that big, the laws of physics tends to indicate that it simply won't happen.

You want a deep threat? Send him long and just have ASmith chuck him the ball. If he catches a couple of those types of passes early in the season, defenses will have to respect it and adjust their defensive plans accordingly- opening up the underneath for everyone else.

Well, the issue with that is that he can't get off the line fast enough to give Alex time to throw downfield to him. While he is fast, he has a delayed start every time because he can't beat the press.

We could march down the field for entire drives just throwing 10 yard sideline passes real high to him.

Unfortunately he's a one trick pony, but we aren't using his trick.

I swear to god if this was Madden, I would do that every single goddamned play.

Sigh.... I wish life were like nintendo.

JFC :facepalm: Why are people compelled to record themselves being idiots?

By all accounts, Baldwin is a physical blocker; there shouldn't be any reason why he isn't beating the press by being a bit physical himself. Line him up a step or two behind the line so he gets a little momentum and have him physically beat the crap out of the DB as he starts his route. All this "juking" and/or playing pattycake crap we saw with the old regime needs to go. Reid loves him some big WRs because they can be physical at the line of scrimmage and match up well against smaller DBs.

Its really just that simple 'cept for the force-out rule where the defender has the option letting the receiver catch the ball & then shoving him out of bounds. Unless he kinda carries the receiver out of bounds - then its a catch. But you knew that.

Pioli also picked Eric Berry and Justin Houston. Not to mention the young olinemen we have. I had us picking Baldwin, he can't shine with the likes of Cassel.

I think it's a dig at Hernandez. Well, I'd LIKE to think it.

I think it was Mrs.Obama

For all the shit we give Baldwin for getting zero separation, he actually is an outstanding blocker. Go back and look at some of Jamaal's long runs. You'll see Baldwin driving his guy downfield Blindside style.

He just completely sucks as a... you know... receiver. Then again, maybe Cassel was just a shitty deliverer. We'll see, but I say Baldwin and Moeaki are gone before the regular season starts, if I had to bet on it. Outside of Alex Smith, there is not one player I'd rather see turn into a pro bowler this year than Baldwin. It would fix so many ****ing problems and make Bowe unstoppable.

ROFL

Could you imagine what we would do if we had 2 WRs that commanded double teams? Whether you then went with a 2 TE or 3WR set, the yards would come in bunches. Beside the passing opportunities, Jamaal Charles would run completely free.....

I am hoping Kelce can be that extra target to force more attention his way. Of course, he has to show something at this level first. If Kelce can be a very good TE at the pro level? then he, Bowe, and Charles would really keep defenses busy. AND, if they can manage to add in a very solid WR other than Bowe?

It's a fairly similar arsenal for Alex. Kelce isn't Vernon Davis yet, but he may turn out to be a similar threat. Bowe is an upgrade to Crabtree. Charles is clearly a stud back and at this point. better than Gore. Now just have another WR step up as the #2 (which should be easy, as SF had mediocre guys), and KC can surprise folks.

:)

Well, yes. He's goddamned huge. Two yards or so in bounds will allow him to tap his toes even if a DB gets a push on him after the catch.

The overall point I'm making is that Alex will throw a safe directional pass, which he loves, because its either a jump ball catch, or its out of bounds if Baldwin misses it.

Any Radio Stations doing live camp coverage?

I don't know about live but 610 is there

My great-grandmother could have safely picked Berry in that draft. And if you believe Houston was anything other than ass-over teakettle for Peeholi, well...

cool thanks

That is 230 lbs that high up in the air. A 190 lb CB has no chance against that. (And Mark Castle couldn't hit a target like that.)

reminds me of this gif of Julio Jones

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/394...ck-catch-o.gif

thanks for that reminder. Traded this guy away for Brandon weeden essentially. WHOO HOOO. fml.

You wouldn't have had anyone to throw it to him so, there is that.

Every receiver in the NFL needs to be able to make quick cuts.

If you can't do it you're not gonna be very useful.

hmmmm, maybe maybe not. Maybe if we had drafted Julio, then the next year we would of made that trade for RG3......or at least I can hope. Or just drafted Tannehill.

Eh. I don't know about that. Megatron doesn't make quick cuts. Randy moss, never made quick cuts. Its way more about route running, than Cuts.

Its about if you are a bigger guy, like Plaxico Burress, its about using your size to shield. Its almost physically impossible for big receives ala Art Monk, Herman Moore, Megatron, Randy Moss, to make quick cuts.....

Baldwin can be a Vincent Jackson kind of player if put into positions where he can down the field 1 on 1 with a DB and just play jump ball.

Wrong on both counts.

You know how you become a great route runner?

Quickness.

Uhmmm....yes they do. wth?

You think they get open simply because they're big and fast?

Making quick cuts/fast twitch movement is part of running routes. That's what makes guys like Megatron and Moss such great talents, because they're a complete package.

Dwayne Bowe is another example of that. He's a big dude that can stop and cut on a dime.

Big, lumbering receivers simply struggle to get open. For as fast as they might be, the DB's are just as fast.

Quick cuts and route running are one in the same.

You have to be able to run good clean crisp routes to gain separation (unless you have ungodly ability) and even then it's tough.

Look at Randy Moss for example. Late in his career, he was just a burner who ran 9's and posts. But early in his career, he was an excellent route runner.

Baldwin doesn't have nearly the quickness that Jackson has.

That's Baldwins problem. He's plodding and lacks agility....that and he can't seem to time his jumps very well.

Not only that, but defenders are intelligent in that they can use their physicality to bump guys in breaks to throw them off routes if you dont' run good routes.

That can't be real, can it?

i thought it was fake til i heard that cry cough in the middle. lol Thats when kids cry for a long time, they do the same thing. lol

Baldwin has no balance for being as big as he is, and thus every 5'9 CB can jam him at the LOS and throw him completely off the route and the disrupt the timing of the pattern

until he learns how to beat the press, hes useless. He's just too big and he cant control all his size from being jammed. Top heavy frame. If CBs werent allowed to be physical or touch you the guy would be awesome, like how he was in college. But the NFL you are almost getting jammed every play if that's the strategy how to stop you

That's the gameplan on him, which is why defenses can stack in the box against JC or roll double coverage over to Bowe cause we have no other respectable threat. They just send some shitty to press Baldwin and that's it

810 is live and they have live video too... http://www.810whbtv.com/#!between-the-lines/c1rrb

Practice just started.

I wonder if we can get a 3rd or 4th from NE for Baldwin. Maybe package Moeaki and Baldwin for a third?

i look forward to Baldwin's 1100 yrds and 18 TD's this year then.
