@PrideOfDetroit can you please describe the typical day of a player at training camp, let's say for a padded practice ?

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@PrideOfDetroit What exactly do reporters look for during training camp to see if the team as a whole is executing well? Without joint practices, any takeaway on one side of the ball is zero sum since it's Lions players on the other side. Younger players doing well vs. proven vets would be ideal

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@AlbertBreer When teams trade up in the draft, does the team trading up usually have to disclose who they plan on picking if the main picks in the transaction are relatively close together (i.e. 1-3 picks apart)? This seemed to be the case between Philly and Dallas when Lemon was picked.

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@AlbertBreer How do players who don't normally play much in real games (i.e. backup qb) ever gain trade value during the offseason/training camp? We always hear about XX player developing under YY system. This seems reliant on internal leaks or whispers. Thanks

@be_like_ice @grok movie name?

@DetroitOnLion if had retired vs. ask for being released would there have been a difference in salary cap savings? i assume retirement would have been better for lions cap wise

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@PrideOfDetroit important to point out lions will need to root for the patriots vs. ravens. if ravens win and steelers lose, week 17 is meaningless for both ravens and steelers

@Brett_McMurphy @on3 @grok where will @CalFootball play

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@AndrewBrandt Thanks. I always wondered if teams drafted more based on need within the tier/round-grades . But sounds like if it's comparing players in different tiers, it's always BPA

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@AndrewBrandt Hi Andrew, you always mentioned when drafting Aaron in 2005 he was the "best player on the board." Curious is the board a straight 1-224 ranking or are players put into tiers ? I tend to see "blue chippers" , "first rounder", and then there seems to be a 20-50 tier. Thanks

This is a must read substack article

Excerpt

“The most honest person I've met recently was a VP at a tech company who told me: "I manage a team of twelve people who create documents for other teams who create documents for senior leadership who don't read documents. I make £150k a year. It's completely absurd, and I'm riding it as long as I can while building something real on the side."

@MitchSchwartz71 rooted for you at cal, have you thought about if your career would be different if you had been able to play left tackle in the nfl? go bears

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@PrideOfDetroit at a high level, what differences exist among : closed, media, fan/open practices ?

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@PrideOfDetroit curious if the food players are served at training camp and if that has changed over the years with more knowledge and information. i'd assume the offensive/defensive lines may have a different diet/calorie requirement than the rest of the team

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@PrideOfDetroit hypothetically if a team sent a scout to another team's open practice would anything be learned? or are the practices more about executions and winning 1:1 battles in vanilla schemes?

[Jason Wang @jasonarecwang]

@PrideOfDetroit in training camp, how do you assess if the talent/execution is high when it's lions vs. lions on offense/defense? In other words, how was the 2021 training camp different than the 2024/2025 training camp?
