Official 2012 Training Camp Discussion Thread

[Smidgeon]

I'm surprised no one else has created one. Oh well.

This is just a thread where we can put all the discussion for observations, discussions, etc regarding what's going on in training camp.

I find it interesting that CJ Wilson is in base. Not because of him, but because it speaks to the players behind him. I think it was Pro Football Weekly (Focus?) who said he was one of the best run defending DEs in football. Maybe the staff saw that too? I think it's the end ofr Wynn. I'm guessing he'll be in the first round of cuts unless two of the new additions wash out completely.

Cobb was holding on FG attempts. I like it!

I saw that too. If it sticks, it will make the special team defenders keep a spy from rushing the kick. Makes it a little easier for Crosby. I'm all for it.

CJ Wilson -- you are kidding me?

According to reports Bush is an early stand-out. The light went on during the super bowl.

Bishop's injury is a calf, sustained during recent training.

[Fritz]

Is this a nominal nod to his veteran status, or will he be the first-down guy and the run-situation guy?

Only MM's hairdresser knows for sure.

What does Desmond Bishop have against baby cows?

I'm surprised we don't see more of this. Seems like a natural thing, the WR's should have good hands to grab the snap, and if you want to do a fake FG , end-around stype, you've got the guy you want!

Cobb is an ex qb.

Cobb as holder is brilliant. Great hands, great speed and the ability to make passes. Why do I expect a few trick plays this year?

[Bossman641]

Wilson at base doesn't surprise me. Capers is talking like he wants to do a lot more mixing and matching this year. The D is going to go back toward shutting down the run on early downs, getting the offense in third and long, and then bringing in the pass-rushing DL.

Worthy is the long-term plan at DE alongside Pickett and Raji but they probably want to start him off slowly.

Besides, who else would you expect to line up in place of Wilson? Neal and Hargrove are suspended and will probably get limited snaps in camp. Wynn is no run defender. Daniels in no 3-4 DE. Merling is just trying to stick on the roster.

I hope so, I've been saying for awhile I would like to see him move to safety. I'm also very confident in our younger CBs for the move to be made. Davon House seems like he has taken a big step forward this year, Shields still has a lot of potential IMO, and Hayward seems like he could be a player for us as well. I just hope Bush doesnt remain the starter.
