RpMc Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 This weekend, the Polish team that I'm working with faced a team from Austria that had a teammate of Bohringer's from the Unicorns, Patrick Donahue (also got an invite to Packers camp). Boy was he something else to watch up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 One of the people helping to impart knowledge to the rookie wide receiver DJ Moore is a player he could find himself competing against for playing time. The Panthers signed Jarius Wright to a three-year deal this offseason and Wright comes to Carolina with more than two years of time in Turner’s system under his belt. Wright played for the Vikings when Turner was the offensive coordinator in Minnesota and his time with the coach has left him confident that he knows all there is to know about the offense. Wright: “I feel I could teach Norv Turner’s offense to a baby. I know every aspect of it. I know how he wants everything run. If Norv forgets something, he can just come ask me.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/01/jarius-wright-i-could-teach-norv-turners-offense-to-a-baby/ or is it just that a baby could learn it...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 He might have to teach it to babies. After drafting D.J. Moore, it’s hard to see Wright any higher on the depth chart than WR5. And it’s hard to justify keeping a #5 receiver who doesn’t play special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but the Panthers gave him a $2M signing bonus and his base salary is only $800k so I think they keep him around; his knowledge of the system may keep him higher than WR5 while the other guys are learning the system.

This is the Carolina Panthers wide receiver group we're talking about. Jarius Wright is the #1 WR in that group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Something is happening that a lot of us thought should happen with this player... Boehringer joins the Bengals as a tight end, according to the team. He has a better shot at sticking this time around thanks to a roster exemption for an 11th practice squad player made available to AFC North teams as part of the Pathways program. He's also guaranteed an entire training camp as part of the program. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000930856/article/moritz-boehringer-added-to-cincinnati-bengals-roster?campaign=fb-nf-sf188410675-sf188410675&sf188410675=1&utm_source=m.facebook.com&utm_medium=referral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Best of luck to him Böhringer just never seemed to have the aggressiveness to make it as a football player. He never seemed to know how to use his size to his advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Minnesota Vikings: North Marion HS (FL) head coach Willie Offord has been selected for the Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship program with the Vikings.

SteelKing728 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Norv Turner's offense is incredibly difficult to learn. DJ Moore will have a tough time I imagine to start his career, but I think he will be a good one! MoBo will be behind again learning a new position. I don't have much faith in him.

RpMc Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Norv’s offense is not difficult to learn, particularly for wide receivers. I don’t know where that notion comes from. Quote from a former Turner player: ”His is not that difficult to learn, but it's a complicated offense. He runs the route formations and combinations to where it confuses defenses, but the offenses seem to catch on to it quickly." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Turner has a very good offense, when it has the right pieces. But the problem is getting those pieces. For Turner’s offense to truly be effective, it needs a dominating offensive line. His route combinations and seven step drops take so long to develop, you need an o-line that can consistently allow that to happen. And with the decline in o-lone play as a whole around the league, Turner’s offense just can’t seem to make the adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
