Nice. Also nice to get your updates. If you're there and have more to say, and the time and inclination to do so, by all means you have readers on this site and end eager to hear your musings.
I wish I was there, but I live in Texas. I just follow all the Twitter updates from the Beat reporters and anyone else that's watching in camp.
From what I hear:
So far everyone is gushing about Darnold. Command of the offense, confidence, and even his arm strength is looking stronger if that's possible.
Bell: slow start, but looks really good now.
Crowder is open all the time and making a ton of plays.
R Anderson is running the complete route tree now.
Enunwa is making plays, but also has had a slight case of the dropsies.
Gase says that he's looking to see which of the other WRs step up. Wide open competition. Right now we only have 3 guys and a bunch of hopefuls. Everyone is grinding (same story for all of our scrub CBs).
Ty Montgomery is in a perfect system for him. They are lining him up everywhere and making plays. He looks like Bell's clear back-up.
Powell is only starting to get into contact drills. I'm hearing nothing about McGwire and Cannon.
Herndon looks great, but as you know suspended for 4 games.
The oline seems to be opening up holes for the running game, but Beachum is now out with an ankle injury. Kalil passed his physical. Gase will talk to him tomorrow about his practice schedule.
Cantazaro is looks awful. He keeps missing kicks in the 40s range.
Q. Williams is looking really good. I'm not hearing anything about anyone else on the d-ling, but Gase says that he loves their versatility. It enables them to switch from 3-4 to 4-3 easily.
AT LB, Cashman looks great. Lots of speed and doing well in coverage.Not hearing much at all about the rest of the LB crew. Williamson is banged up a bit. Polite is struggling and is mostly playing with the third team (sigh).
Our CBs look atrocious. Johnson looked bad the other day and is now hurt. Poole has been both good and bad at times. Big hitter. Roberts is improving according to Gase.
Maye is still recovering from injury (what else is new?).
