Cooper DeJean spoke today about learning the safety position and he says he’s been watching old videos of Charles Woodson. Cooper says he’s got more muscle but hasn’t gained any weight from his offseason training. He has been ready to play safety and has been learning it for a while now.
Training Camp “stats” are insane and ridiculous.
Used to think it was always just people joking, but now seeing them seriously reported.
You have no idea what the purpose of that period is, what the goals are, what the context is, etc.
It could be a strictly 3rd & Long blitz period where every play is skewed to the defenses advantage. Coaches could be asking the QB to focus specifically on one route concept. DLine may be focusing only on bull rushes one day or just speed rushes for one period.
More importantly, practice is for practicing. You’re supposed to fail. You’re supposed to try new things, see what works and what doesn’t work, etc. If you only do what works, you’ll never grow, adapt, change.
The entire point of training camp is to build and grow towards the season so that you perform your best when the real games start.
Dak’s record vs the Eagles gets brought up constantly. Yet when Eagles fans bring up Hurts’ playoff record it’s automatically a team sport. Hilarious how these things work out.
