I was lucky enough to go to training camp on Saturday as a "VIP", which meant that at times I got to be closer to players. I have some thoughts, not all good, about what I saw. I'll start with the things that stuck out to me the most and work my way down from there.
- James Carpenter has lost a TON of weight (I'd guess 40 pounds) and looks beastly. Looks much more smooth with his movements on the field than we've seen before.
- Doug Baldwin is faster, and it looks like it by quite a bit. He was breaking out of his routes very quickly and DBs were having significant trouble staying with him. Apparently on Friday he outran Earl Thomas to the end zone after catching a ball (apparently Thomas was pissed).
- Russell Wilson's accuracy is kind of amazing. Saw him throw 15 balls 15 yards or deeper working with WRs, all different routes. He was hitting them in stride, and usually on the numbers on almost every throw.
- This was a very sharp contrast to Terrelle Pryor who looked like absolute trash the entire day. In the scrimmage portion he threw a ball directly to Benson Mayowa about 5 yards past the line of scrimmage and there wasn't even a receiver in the area. I have no idea what he was doing there. Dude's not gonna make the team.
- Russell Okung still moves around well on the field, but off of it walking from drill to drill or back to the building he walks like a 70 year old with bilateral knee replacements. This was pretty discouraging to see.
- Paul Richardson is very fast, and a huge work in progress with his route running and even just catching the ball. Plus he's a friggen twig.
- Greg Scruggs beat offensive lineman on a pretty consistent basis all practice long.
- One of Tony McDaniel's parents had to have been a polar bear. It is absolutely ridiculous how big that man is. He was walking next to Mebane and Mebane looked like a child. No way he's the same species as me.
- Kam Chancellor looks like he has shoulder pads on when he doesn't. Neither he nor Bruce Irvin are practicing yet.
