Wednesday training camp

[DR RAM]

I’m not worried about Noteboom, if he fails, he’ll be on a short leash, and we developed depth last year. If he succeeds, then even better for us.

I love having him on the team.

Me too. He’s the type of physical trash talk player you hate when he’s on another team but love when he’s on yours. But he brings a high level of motivation to win and intelligence to back up his physical traits and trash talking. I think he’ll be a top 10 defensive player this year.

Hard to tell yet what is happening with Noteboom. Maybe Kromer just wants to see him in action after the injury. Maybe there's a feeling that, as a starter who lost his position due to injury, Noteboom deserves at least some opportunity to regain it even if only as a matter of professional respect or courtesy. Maybe he is just a backup at guard getting some reps. Or maybe Kromer just has more confidence in him as a starting guard than this board does.

Kromer has always switched up and crossed trained guys at different positions. You would think that he would do less of that this year and go straight to getting his starters ready at their established spots. But it's also true that training up the reserves is important, maybe more so with the threat of someone being sidelined at any time by a covid test.

Either way I'm glad to see Noteboom on the field and ready for competitive play. And I think Kromer knows what he is doing. If Noteboom is good enough to get a serious look at starting at guard again over others we expected - surprising as this may seem-- then this is a positive as far as I'm concerned.

This at least means we are going to have some strong depth on the o-line.

Update: At his press conference McVay says he is "particularly impressed" with Corbett and Noteboom, then said Noteboom is looking "healthy, explosive, and strong." Also says Havenstein is back up to "outstanding" form. Whit is "really healthy."

Sounds like Noteboom and Corbett could really be our starting guards.

"HE A MF DAWG!!" Like this a lot coming from Ramsay. Think this is more than just talking up Akers as another FSU guy.

Update on kickers. McGinnis missed 2 out of 6 from 43 and Sloman 3 out of six. Lirim has the day off I'm told.

If that is true we should be in business. Having a guy like Edwards on the bench would be some great depth. Again, though, if it's true. Gonna have to see it with Boom and hope that's the case.

 

[Merlin]

Yeah I have this terror kind of building in the back of my mind lol. We've always been so blessed with kickers though so maybe that continues.

 

[fearsomefour]

Noteboom again @LG. What does Kromer see that we fans don't? After six games of getting manhandled and ending with an injury requiring surgery, Kromer really expects Noteboom to play better? Or are all the others that bad?



Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over with the same result.

Hopefully not the same thing he saw in Demby.

Ramsey doesn’t seem like the type to hype up someone that can’t ball just because they went to the same school. Saying he’s becoming his favorite teammate is one thing, speaking on his play is another

Evans and Edwards did not look all that great toward the end of the clip. Kolone looked good and I was shocked to see Demby do well in drills.

 

[Merlin]

Looked like Edwards won some lost some. Which I expect vs our DL singled up. You just don't want to see guys consistently getting moved.

 

[Memento]

Hopefully Noteboom plays better at guard than he did last year. Also hoping that Corbett plays well at right guard. I trust McVay on this. I like Evans and Edwards as depth pieces for now and future starters down the road. I also like Anchrum a lot as an interior backup. I'd still draft a center next year, but if one of Allen/Shelton/Cabral step up...well, we'll see.

That’s like saying don’t put Roger Saffold at LG !! I’m just he is healthy so Kromer has that choice. It will only make him a BETTER NFL Player !!

Say what you want. I could think of a lot worse decisions.

BTW - you don’t think Mcvay has a say in it as well ??

 

[Ram_Rally]

Yeah I've seen enough of him at guard as well. Haven't heard Edwards name called so he may be dinged. At least that's what I'm hoping lol.

Well to be fair, a lot of people were ready to give up on Goff at around the same amount of games played as Noteboom.

 

[Ram_Rally]

The only thing I can come up with is Kromer wants to make sure Noteboom is NOT the guy to start at LG, and the earlier the better to move on with someone else.

Idk. First team reps this early

 

[dolphinlover123]

Enjoyed the ol/dl drill. Salty we missed the skill group drill.

 

[snackdaddy]

What you're talking about is development, and that isn't allowed anymore.

And I'm being serious, in fans/media view, if a player doesn't provide instant gratification he sucks and shouldn't play.

Lol, can you imagine if fans were in charge? Coaches and players would be fired every week.
