OTAs Week 2 - May 28th 2013

[Brandon494]

That would hurt if Jolly is not able to prove himself. He very well might be that missing piece up front that we have been waiting for. On a positive note I'm excited to see what Quarless can do this year. I thought he played very well in 2010 and was becoming a solid player. I hope he earns and large role in the offense this year.

I believe we will be seeing a lot of Ouarless next season since he is really the only TE on the roster who has proven to be a all-around TE. Jolly imo is a long shot to make the team though being out of football for 3 years now.

And there goes Boykin....

Too bad they didn't swing that straight-up trade for Anquan Boldin.

Any word on the extent of Boykin's injury?

[swede]

Disappointing that Shields is not there, signed contract or no signed contract. As I recall, when he was an RFA holdout, Ryan Grant attended everything, watching and learning but not participating. Shields should be doing the same, assuming that the new CBA allows that.

It was said once before that Jolly could experience delays in getting permission to leave the state, since he is on probation. I'm not suggesting he should receive special treatment, but through this whole ordeal the system (both legal and NFL) has seemed to work against him getting to the best support system he has for a change, his football family.

I can't help but wonder if the league isn't going to do a couple "pop wiz quizzes" on JJ.

They need to know for sure that Jolly and purple are indeed strangers.

I'd bet Jolly sticks around somehow. They didn't bring him to camp because they felt bad for him, they did because they think he can contribute.

Unless he shows that he's really lost it, they will find a way to keep him - I wouldn't discount PUP to start the season for him, and that's valid. It will take him sometime to get back into shape physically and to come back to the game mentally.

I'd been very surprised if he makes the roster and I'm hoping he does because that would mean he still has it. Which DL would u cut in favor of him?

someone will go on IR, whether they are injured or not. Most likely Worthy at this point.

True but will Jolly show enough for the team to keep him over Neal, Wilson, or Daniels? He might but like I continue to say its not 2009 anymore, hes not going to be the same player we remember.

[Joemailman]

They would normally would keep 6 DL. However, it would be expected that Jolly might need some extra time before he's ready to contribute, so they might need to keep 7 if they keep him. I'm wondering if that has something to do with Mike Neal working out at OLB. If he can play some there, they might be able to go with 1 more DL and one less LB than normal.

[Brandon494]

I don't know what the hell they are thinking with Mike Neal at OLB but they aren't even in pads yet so I'm not taking the move seriously. I'm guessing they just want him to practice dropping into zone coverage so when we called for zone blitzes he'll have some idea of what hes doing.

Mr. Wist43.5 noted that the Ravens had some pretty large LBs out there crowding the LOS in their 2-4 schematic against the Patsies. It may be that he will be used in some similar capacity. Just so long as they aren't playing against Kelly's "super speed" offense.

[Brandon494]

I don't see them keeping more then 4 OLBs anyway with Jones having experience at the position.

[Guiness]

Or like I said, Jolly starts the season on the PUP.

[pbmax]

Or like I said, Jolly starts the season on the PUP.

That's tough though, he would have to miss all of camp.
