[Training Camp / Practice - June 13]

We have very good battles for roster spots at receiver - both Nat. and import - and we don't hear about it.

We have very good battles for roster spots at DB - and we don't hear about it.

We have very good battles for roster spots at LB, O-Line and DL - and we don't hear about it.

But those reports on the number of injured are bang on....and riveting.

And the way they hover around the interviews and piece together stories? Well that extraordinary.

Bravo writers...

Thank goodness we have dedicated MBB fans (gbill etc.) who take their time and share reports with us.

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.
