I noticed him making some plays in pre season last year, seems like a bit of a late bloomer maybe? Thing is with how thin our LB core is he has every chance of winning a spot.

I find that hard to believe to be honest. Regardless, Garoppolo genuinely seems well liked and he is used to playing for a winning organisation so hopefully he can show his leadership qualities and bring about a positive change.

Easy to say in camp though, let’s hope his leadership shines through when the real bullets start flying and our backs are against the wall. Everyone is writing us off this season so that may play in our favour somewhat. There’s always a surprise team in the NFL, hopefully us this year!

Did well on special teams last year, always need those type of guys.

Interesting notes from Your boy Q from lockedin Raiders

-Elumenour is starting spot is in trouble . Multiple false starts, multiple mistakes. Thayer Munford took a lot of 1st team reps at RT.

- Malcolm Koonce has been quiet

- Trayvon Mohrieg hasn’t gave up any plays together with Epps. 
 

-Running backs have been impressive

-Tre Tucker and Deandre Carter has been impressive.

Be interesting to get this guys take after a couple of days of Moehrig getting picks. He said he was underwhelming hopefully that’s changed. 

Koonce being quiet is a concern we definitely could do with a sub pass rusher. Only got 68 snaps last year and I think I read he was on the field for more run snaps than pass.

I thought the one good thing about Carr being gone would be that this crap would go with him. Months later, haters still hating. 

Just wait till the. season starts.

I will be fascinated to see what the narrative is if Jimmy G sucks/ gets injured like I fully expect him to, our D is still bottom of the league with no pass rush and hemorrhages points. 

if this team wins 4ish games and Carr has a pretty good season that leads the Saints to the playoffs how will these talking heads spin it? 

I also am fascinated as to what the Jimmy G homers will use as a metric for his success this year.  W/L, stats, a combo of the two?  Elaborate if you're a Jimmy G homer and what are the metrics for a "successful" season by him.

Is it just me or when they say stuff like ‘no concerns’ then I start to get concerned 😁

Being quite raw he needs all the practice and training reps he can to aid his technique and pick up the nuances so I’m expecting a very quiet year from him tbh.

Great news. Heard Wilson has been working out of the side of practice. He gearing up to return

You could copy and paste the same post over and over and no one will notice.

like some of us predicted this summer, JE at RG is best for the line. But he’s got to stop the False starts/penalties

To JMD credit, he said the same thing about Young and now he’s practicing
