If he pops up under a different name, we'll ban his IP.

If he is having troubles with his normal mid-range issues and they are having him throw them more to work on it...no prob. If his accuracy issues are the layups, then you start worrying. I'm very excited about the potential of the offense, and its nice to see that we have multiple guys on defense that are making plays.
I think one of the knocks on Wentz in the past has been his unwillingness to check down to his safety valve, and his tendency to hold the ball too long looking for the big play. While we have had the other extreme at times the last few years, it is a fine line between being not aggressive enough and being too aggressive, and the perception seems to be that Wentz has been too aggressive over the course of his career.Moe wrote:WaPo notes on practice:
-lots of injured guys being worked in slowly. Young, Logan Thomas, John Bates, Samuel, Apke and Larsen.
-Trai Turner sat out along with Smith-Williams, also working Roullier back in slowly and he's been elevated off the PUP.
-lots of praise for Dotson. He's picking up things quickly, flashes his skill routinely and is working in different positions, even some return duties.
-Gibson looks more cut and showed his quickness and speed in drills. Hammy was tight so he's not doing team stuff yet.
-RR praised Holcomb for his showing at MLB so far.
- to parrot Vegas above, saw that TE Rodgers has been impressing. Getting more time with Thomas and Bates out, so he's taking advantage.
- lots of 1v1's. WJ3 broke up a pass to McLaurin, and St-Juste blanketed Dotson. Dotson was able to later make a nice adjustment while covered by WJ3.
-Milne getting decent looks and just keep making plays. Several good, consistent practices from him.
-Wentz opened practice with a wide open 15 yarder to McLaurin. Ended practice with four straight completion, 1 to Terry, rest to RB's.

Knowing what we know about Scott Turner and Ron Rivera, I imagine that they will be preaching to him that he needs to take what is there more often and not risk a sack and/or turnover trying to make a big play. If so, him getting the ball to his RBs might actually be a significant sign of growth and progress.
I do hope that the days of throwing 7 - yard passes on 3rd and 8 are over, though.

-LB rotations. Mayo getting more run with 1's on short yardage, Hudson and Davis got lots of looks with 2's.
-Davis is getting lots of praise for his practice so far, think they are just mixing and matching, but Mayo stronger in short yardage.
-Heinicke hit Reyes on a nice 20 yard td. cover 1 look and db's got juked on play action.
-Curl had a good day, fumble recovery and several good closing stops.
-Heinicke hit Robinson for a td in goal line. Robinson looks good in his routes so far.
-Wentz hit Gibson for a td as well. Lots of focus on RB's in the passing game.
-Goal line, D stuffed O 7 straight from the 1.
-Toohill mad two big stops in the stretch.
-Gibson had two fumbles today, but seems like an exchange problem and not a handle problem.
-LB Tre Walker retires. Added as a UDFA this year.

Warpath23 wrote:Meh.. Really?? There's no LB out there better than that?
Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith has requested a trade, according Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Smith, who’s entering the final year of his rookie deal, has been looking for a new contract since the beginning of training camp. Smith has been sidelined since the start of training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
Smith released this statement via Rapoport, saying he lost trust in the organization in their attempts to take advantage of him during contract negotiations. He also feels like it hasn’t been so much as a negotiation rather than them pressuring him to take the deal or leave it:
VegasSkinsFan wrote:^^ i read that this morning. His contract wants will probably keep us from making a play for him.
In other news, Ron Rivera fired DL coach Sam Mills , Assistant DL Coach Jeff Zgonina will replace him.
MissouriSkin wrote:Isn’t the cap supposed to explode after this season?
VegasSkinsFan wrote:The cap should get a nice boost, but we also have a few of our own guys coming up on potential contracts...guys like Sweat, Payne, Holcomb etc. If Wentz works out, then I'm sure there will be some numbers re-worked..things like that. RR/JDR sure have an interesting thought process when it comes to our LB group.
MissouriSkin wrote:Eh…I think they just can’t find guys they think can really help them and want to come here. I also think they’d have taken the kid from Georgia if his shoulder hadn’t been messed up. I look at it as they basically had to redo the roster from the ground up so they are doing the best they can and not “getting any LBer because we need a LBer” approach which I think is smart. The lightbulb coming on for Davis would sure help though.
VegasSkinsFan wrote:The injury to Bostic last year started the "lets try Davis at MLB " mistake. If they let him do what he does best...sideline-to-sideline, use his speed for coverage and the random pass rush...he should be improved.
MissouriSkin wrote:Yeah. I wish more people remembered that. They never wanted Davis at middle. People on Extreme still want Ron and Del Rio fired for that saying “they don’t know what they’re doing”. Facepalm….
