    If I were James, I'm not sure I'd be tweeting out a picture where I'm clearly pass interfering. Still a cool pic though.

    Yeah, in a real game that's nothing but free yardage.

    So, the only time Charles James can cover Braxton Miller is when he commits PI?:grin:

    Not surprised to hear that about KJ this camp. He's not a fast athlete and the Texans have brought in burners. It's probably a nightmare for him out there.

    Pass interference, defense number 31. Ball will be placed at the spot of the foul, automatic first down

    He probably feels like he is chasing ghosts out there. I'm sure he would look much better against someone like Strong. A good route runner with world class speed is scary.

    Tweets from reporters that quote pancakes lose all credibility instantly.

    Can't wait to see ... Can you imagine if Fuller turns out to be better than expected?

    I can't judge based on the people commenting as they are notorious homers. John Harris for example was raving about the Texans practice the same week that was featured on hard knocks as being disastrous by obrien.

    Braddock is really the only one who tries to be impartial and he hasn't been there.

    That's a big thing when looking at ANY team's camp. You always hear nearly universally positive things and so often the amount to nothing. We heard year after year how much progress David Carr was making, we heard year after year how much better Blaine Gabbert was getting in Jags camp, you just can't take any of that stuff seriously till you see it on the field.

    PatDStat, Steph Stradley

    Braddock hated the Fuller pick and now is slowly walking it back

    Regardless of all the positive talk, I think it's pretty clear that Fuller has been pretty solid. There isnt a day that goes by where he doesnt destroy some CBs.

    Meanwhile Doctson is injured and Treadwell is running with the 2's at Vikings camp. With Bridgewater, he is going to be so limited there

    Anyone worried about Clowney missing a couple days? What concerns me even more is a rookie starter at a key key position (Nick Martin) getting 3 days off from OB. You never see OB treat rookies like that. Could be something to look at going forward.

    I think they are probably just trying to be proactive with clowney... Martin is interesting though, but im not to concerned since we actually have some depth on the inside of the line for once

    Yeah, at this point, its kind of looking like the Cordarrelle Patterson vs Deandre Hopkins debate all over again. I hope it stays that way.
