2016 offseason/preseason thread

Post your crap here I guess. Going to be a looooooong summer.

Decker open camp as the LT. Reiif moved to RT.
Van Noy ahead of Bynes right now.
Ebron down 10 pounds to 245.

Obviously, the Decker news is the biggest surprise but I have been waiting for this for a while. I predicted we would try to move Reiff to RT. Not sure it will stick but it makes a lot of sense both position wise and financially for the future. We will see if it sticks though.

Also, there was a beard sighting in the starters LB group as well.

Decker gets first-team reps at left tackle in OTAs

Thanks to @jayfan for this in another thread. Good summary for the entire day.

The really weird thing was Raiola was assisting with strength & conditioning. Shouldnt they have gotten someone who actually knows something about strength?

"Tight end Eric Ebron sat out due to an unspecified injury..."

They probably didn't want to disclose that his pussometer readings were too high.

Panthers OT Nate Chandler in for a visit tomorrow. Was looking good before the injuries. Might be a quality backup that would allow us to keep Corey Robinson on the PS 1 more year.

Someone finally found a big enough hemorrhoid donut for him to sit on when he is on the bench.

Looks like the Bears got him. Good pickup for them.

"If they can get anything more out of Ngata and continue to see growth from Ezekiel Ansah, we may be looking at a team making defense its hallmark after decades of offensive dominance."

Decades of offensive dominance.

I've been trying to figure out what's different this year. It finally came to me.

From the GM on down, no one is saying a bunch of stupid shit.

Either us or the 'Aints.

Either us or the 'Aints.

Yeah, I think it's the aints.

10 of the top 19 most passing attempts in a season, are Brees or Staff. And 7 of those 10 are Brees.
