Reminder, tommorow at 8pm est is the midweek and sunday at 8pm est is pre season week 1.

Also, almost a third of the league has not yet voted in our 2 open poles. These are important issues for the league so please take just a moment or 2 to go and vote.

I am happy with camp. 22 Toads went up at least 1 point in future rating. The big drops were vets of course, although one *shocker* happened as SS Buddy Forbes dropped -9/-9.

Disappointments:

Late 3rd round LB Norman St. Cloud. In my gut I knew he would drop some, but I felt I had to take him at that point since I figured my other LB choices would be around later(which they were). He went +3/-6 in camp and will probably drop until he is in the 40's down the road as he his only 51 future now.

3rd round WR Ellis Ballard was +3/-3 to land at 26/41. Not the WR I thought he would be. The 3rd round is usually a good round for me but it wasn't this year.

CB Randle Daniel is very interesting. 7th round guy who was sitting there with a 41 pop and he was +2/-3, the first pop player I have seen drop. He isn't going anywhere yet though as I will keep him around to make sure, plus his bars may mean he is useful.


Positives:

7 rookies went up at least 2 future points. ILB Schofield went up 4/5, WR Wesley Joyner went up 3/5, CB Whiting went up 5/5, RB Smoker went up 3/3, WR Horton went up 2/2, and the other two guys may or may not even make the squad even though they went up it wasn't enough.

2nd year FS Duane Haneke continues to climb going up 9/4 to 46/53 and locks up a starting role.

2nd year Paul Johnstone goes up 6/4 to 38/40 and looks like he steals the #2 RB spot.

late free agent pickup, K Kendall Bailey went up 5/5 to 55/55, not too bad.

We finally have a legitimate running back in Boston.

Phantoms have acquired some headaches as far as chemistry goes. My defense seems to be middle of the pack caliber. Offense is looking sweet as Stanfield went up a point in his old age and Amos seems to be settling in around the 60-65 range. Offensive rookies are looking good. Gietka at RB has the highest power running and breakaway of all rookies.

Now to decide if I should move Donovan Graham over to RT since he's a better run blocker.

TC raped us

[Matt]

we get our regular vet reductions, and our rookies all went down about 5 future points. I had a feeling that was going to happen.

[Argot]

Number 1 pick Jamison had a training camp boost. 80 current. 81 future.

[tarcone]

So did WR Andrews. His future wnt up 1 point. Current went up 5.

S Ernest Porter who looked to be a bust really enjoyed his summer in Europe. He boomed in fact. went up 9 current and 7 future. If he stays healthy im a happy camper.

A great TC for us. Cant wait for the season to start.

I'm very happy with my camp if only because it appears that I have my first real homegrown RB talent in Jackie Gulden, and he'll be able to play right away
