2014 Training Camp Observations Thread

[Steve]

I was suggesting that Reese over Brown, but again it will all depend on how guys play.

The way I see it, the only real locks are Floyd and Allen. Royal and Brown both have a leg up on the others, based on a solid fit and past performance, but Royal is incredibly injury issues and Brown having some development issues, I don't think they are completely safe. I do think it would be an upset if either didn't make the, but I wouldn't count these other guys out. I think in terms of the number of players who COULD make the roster, I think in other years, they are all on our roster (Allen, Floyd, Brown, Royal, Tutu, Reese and Inman), just that we never had 7 guys in the TC at the same time before.

I really hope that the competition is very, very strong and we can get someone to stand out, so that we have a very strong 5 or 6 man WR group.

The draft was May 8. The surgery was May 19. I don't thing getting Watt was luck.

Was he talking about Watt or Watts?

Heading out to camp today. Will post during.

Sweet. Keep an eye on Reese.

Watt was the type of player a lot of us felt we should be looking for. A guy who has some experience at both OG and C, who could give us depth at OG short term, and maybe figure in as Hardwicks replacement down the road.

As far as singing Watts, the guy is a nice prospect. Not good enough to have been drafted, but still has the tools and looks good on the crapy video. I think he is just another trying to hit a homerun for nothing, which is what you do with UDFA.

If anyone can make something out of the Watts kid you'd think it would be Joe D. The guy is magic. I'd call him Magic Mike but his name is Joe D.

As expected, Vincent Brown (calf) isn't practicing today. #Chargers

Nick Hardwick isn't wearing pads, helmets or cleats. Looks like he'll be a spectator today. #Chargers

Brown is a good guy and has matured dramatically. I agree has status with the team is tenuous at best.

I truly hope he makes the team and I admit I am bias.

He needs to have a very strong pre-season and being injured is not helping.

Keenan Allen looks like he's been in the weight room this offseason.

Cool. Can he go for 100 receptions?

[Beerman]

Inman and Reese are running drills right behind the starters already. Inman has a very similar body type to Floyd.

Reese is a twig, but he just glides out there

Tutu added some pounds. Denario Alexander like. (Without the explosion )
