There will be a special teams period within the practice, just like you guys normally see during the year. It will be an afternoon practice, will last a couple of hours and then they’re out of here. They leave the field, go into meetings again and then they go sleep.

Powell just feels like a dude who has been the underdog his whole career. But he's watched his peers, learned his craft rep in, rep out, and all of that grinding, along with his physical gifts developing, are gonna explode into something special when he hits the field on sundays. No-one saw Kittle coming being a 23 year old 5th round pick and I think Powell has that same stuff about him tbh.

Normally, I’d agree with you here. This offseason is far different, though.

Neither LDT or Long played last year, so I think Smith does have a slim chance to win the job outright in camp. I honestly think he can outplay LDT right away and Long is a complete ?...if Long is as healthy as they say he is, it’s his job to lose.

Also, there are really 4 guys that will compete for RG

Long
LDT
Blythe
Smith.

Smith is the only one that played any snaps at RG last year and is under contract past next season.

I wouldn’t be as shocked as you’d be if he were to go out and win the job outright, but I agree it’s a long shot.

I think Powell is going to surprise too. Given enough reps he will become our #3 wr, maybe our #2.

1st year WRs in Reid’s offense are typically role players till they learn the playbook.. Don’t look for a lot of production out of him this year..

Why do you have to be so negative about everything?

Powell is going up against Robinson, Hardman, and Pringle for snaps. We have Tajae Sharpe, Fortson, Kemp, and Dieter too but only Sharpe is likely to have a real shot at getting many snaps. It's past time for Dieter to hit the ****ing bricks.

Powell is supposed to be smart and run good routes. That should help him win some reps. His size might help him take some blocking reps away from Robinson.

I hope he becomes our very own D.K. Metcalf.

Brown, Thuney, Humphrey, Smith, Long

Boom!! look at the starting offensive line.

Dunerdr · 05-17-2021, 07:51 AM

Are we taking Kyle Long serious at RT? Personally i just see him as a guard option.

He was pretty darn good at RT for the Bears when they had some injuries. I have to think he's better than Remmers.

Lmao why would he be? Remmers was solid at RT as recently as last year. Last time Long played RT was 6 years ago and he's had major injuries and surgeries since then.

AdolfOliverBush · 05-17-2021, 08:17 AM

I think Niang wins the RT job outright.

I also think this but people keep penciling Long in.

Me too. If not him it's going to be Remmers. But the way people are talking about Niang, he's ready to take the starting job.

Pull back the reigns you missed a few days, this weeks topic is too fat/ calves too small. Please try to keep up with the shit Athan takes.
