I agree totally. The reporting has focussed on injury updates and player profiles. The injury lists are just a check list. The personal profiles are just straight up interviews.Low hanging fruit.
In the reporters' defense, more in-depth information is hard to come by. All information comes through O'Shea's mouth and the man is a sealed tomb. This coach is a marketer's nightmare.
The reporters probably also lack the analytical skills to provide accurate assessments of of training camp battles. This isn't NFL Network which has access to all sorts of ex-players and ex-coaches to provide these skills. In that respect the newspapers would be better served by bringing in their own outside experts and consultants to assess training camp performances.
That said, I am somewhat bothered by what I've read here about reporters being present and not even watching practice. I haven't been to practices and confirm this, but I hope it isn't true.
