2078 Training Camp Report
Eight players made good progress (+4 or more current), my theory is this level of progress is a sign of being starting quality. 14 others made at least some progress.
+7 LB Brewer
+5 QB McAlister, DE Lyons, CB Lavelli
+5/-1 DT Posante
+4 LT Coughenour, DE Clinton
+4/-1 LB Gonzalez
+3/+2 QB Holmes
+3 S Kornbluth, QB McAdams, FB Latschaw, RB Blair
+3/-1 CB Morton
+2 QB Radford, DE Morrish, RB Graham, RB Smoot, RB Curie
+1/+1 WR Techen
+1 G Hamilton
+1/-2 C Houshmanzadeh

But we all know that pre-season will reveal the declines of aging players, give a new look to the young players like they were never scouted before and some randomness.


Post Camp transactions
We released QB Kerry McAdams, RB Jose Smoot and CB Tyrus Kirkpatrick.

McAdams was a long shot to begin with. He was a 53-men cut casualty previous season and signed during the playoffs with the prospect of being a restricted free agent (and getting a cohesion boost). His sense rush is decent, as is his long passing. But we've got enough other options. His training camp was okay.

Jose Smoot started 3 games for us last season. That figure is mostly based on what formation we used on the first play from scrimmage, he was more of a short-term change of pace back that we used in 3 games on a couple of formations. With some time on the team he could grow into a 4.5 yards per carry back, but the competition was too heavy.

Tyrus Kirkpatrick was another soon to be restricted free agent playoffs signing. Quality kickoff returner, but I decided we should go with Lathum, Meadows and Stevens as the three options.
