I can't believe we're about to start camp. The last 6 weeks would have been almost unbearable due to lack of news had I not been distracted by "real life," which in my case was a new job and running my daughter's summer swim team.
Having said that, there are so many things I'm really looking forward to about this camp, more so than any in recent memory:
- Dan Quinn has injected a new enthusiasm into the team by force of personality that has been sorely missing since, maybe Gibbs I. How does that manifest itself in possibly the hardest part of the season to maintain intensity, the grind of camp combined with scortching temperatures?
- What offensive identity are they really going to try and build. Some are saying they're going to really try to be a run-first, bully-ball team. Others are saying it will be more Air Raid type concepts. I don't know. Probably some of both. But I'm really interested to see what they are working on in camp, and what they show in the preseason.
- Positionally, how is the OL going to fair when they get pads on? They did some things to improve. Was it enough?
- I'm really worried about the CBs. I'd like to see how they platoon them in and out of practices, and how that competition unfolds.
- What rookies are going to be immediate contributors?
- Who is the veteran who is the surprise camp cut? There's almost always one. Jamin Davis seems like the "sexy" pick by some pundits on this. I'm not so sure. We'll see.
- How much better is the defense just with what should be competent coaching vs. the dreck Jack and Ron put out there last year, with a staff which wasn't close to professional grade.
- Are they going to go out and sign a guy somewhere out of the blue? Or trade for one?
I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it!
