I believe you completely misunderstood my statement. Don't take things so personally, sheesh.

I was just joking back. We’re all good ☘️

Two posters respectfully going back and forth, making the board better. Making themselves better too.

If only there was some sort of analogy for this situation.

Unless Carr drops the ball again, I feel comfortable stating he’s in the midst of wrapping up the starting job. The total package is simply too much for Minchey to overcome, unless Carr self destructs.
What's does "again" mean?
Did he have a regression and bounced back?

Okay. Here we go. Before I say anything or go any further, please remember that this isn’t something I get to do often. So, I don’t really know who “won” the practice. This is one practice, so I would not take this as gospel. What I saw tonight might’ve been different than what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow.

Defense:
-it appears that they have not missed a beat. They’re fast at basically every position.
-Starting safeties were Shuler and Talich
-Sneed working with the DL in drills, mainly the edge rushers.
-Pretty much status quo, which is a good thing IMO. I don’t remember seeing a blown coverage. Just very solid all around.

Offense:
-Lambert working with the 1’s at RG. That’s a development worth monitoring.
-Carr loves Pauling and Greathouse
-it’s obvious they’re keeping Love’s workload light. He probably had 10~ total carries
-Craig with a few low snaps near goal line, after Carr had led them down.

Now what you’ve all been waiting for…

Carr took every single rep with the 1’s. Before I go any further, this does not mean that’s what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow.

Carr was not perfect. I’d say he completed roughly 60%~ of his throws. But damn does that ball come out with confidence and with zip. He had a great 20 yard TD to Greathouse. No interceptions. IrishLion is right, he is not afraid to push the envelope.

Minchey was good. Took all of his reps with the 2’s. He also isn’t afraid to push it downfield. He had a TD to Burress, but it was called back for OPI. His mobility is notable.

I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of stuff. My mind and eyes were going every which direction. If you have a question then just ask. I’ll do my best to answer.

Again? I am aware you have insight, but for us lowly fans who live through this silly board can you elaborate on how exactly Carr “dropped the ball”? Or is that just expanding on him trying to push and force things to try to separate instead of just making strides himself? Thanks for all the updates Merck, Arrow and everyone else that puts up with us dirt bags constantly trying to get insight!

How are TEs looking?

60% passing against this secondary is pretty damn good for somebody that has no college experience. That happened, what 3 or 4 times all of last year?

Arrow, I know this may not be a fair question because you said there were so many things going on. I would be absolutely useless if in this situation.

But what were the best things and the least awesome things you saw from the QBs today?
