TRAINING CAMP

[JesterBlaze]

You did? He looked so damn good.. maybe he's a creeper..

I was thinking he was the one you said I jumped you to get. If he's a creeper then he's probably gonna be creeping from the FA market or someone else's team. I got an overstuffed roster and no time for his antics.

I had a two small booms.. Stickney jumped ten in current and future and is looking the Portland franchise LT for years to come. He is 76/76 with some green, so he should grow some more. Kieth Porter went up 7 in future ratings and will keep his spot. A little disappointed that last years first round CB hasn't increased again but he has two more years.

Other than that not much change. Pretty happy over all.

I read somewhere that you don't have a true look at a guys rating until after year 4. I may be wrong on that.

I wonder if it's 4 years of actually playing. Looking over my roster again I notice that my 7th year RB went up 14/14 (Suck it, Matt! ) but he's going into his 4th year with any carries. I've always felt he played like a quality back but 90% of that was his ability to hold onto the ball.

[JesterBlaze]

Add my TE, LT and RB to JMO's CB for 2nd year players with high pop tell that aren't doing much. Hope that "pop guarantee" kicks in soon, though the TE is good as is.

[JMO]

I'm enthusiastic about the cb..ive had a few other guys follow the pattern of a 3 or 4 point increase after first camp, stall at second and then over the next few years increase in drips and drabs and not just over camps.

Nothing real surprising. Basile went down 5/5. Maybe losing weight kept it from being -12/-12.
Interior offensive line is up for grabs.
The Walter Fitzgerald era has commenced in Tulsa. I believe that however well Fitzgerald plays my defense plays.
I cant wait to get the offense revved up. Hope the line keeps up.
Sanford- Intelligence Very Low (0)

He now knows 16 formations.

... and 5 dark purple experience tags. Sky's the limit for Wally. 4th round CB Brad Johnstone also had a big camp +11/+7. Last years #1 Antoine Nece is up to 84/84 (highest rated DE in the league) and might climb a little more. Kufahl doesn't seem to have been worth moving up for, but I'd do it again. Troyer also dropped a few points but still looks good. RB Tracy 'I should have been an all pro in 2013' Norris went up 5pts to 59/59. 3 time all pro Duane Rau career seems to be over. I trade DE Kinney and Bernard Hastings promptly gets hit with a 10 pt ratings drop. Damn! Still looks like an okay pass rusher. Lang looks like a solid S, and should be a valuable and versatile player when the secondary rebuild is complete. We are obviously a MUCH better team than we were a year ago.

Weak year in the IFL with the league lead tied at 42 bench reps.

I believe we've had upwards of 47 in years past.

Kind of a boring camp in Little Rock.

-3rd round LB Billy Ballard went up 5/3 (28/40), which is what I was hoping for with him.
-2nd round DE Gabe Hughes only went up 2/2 (19/29), which isn't a lock for creeping but at this point I still think he becomes a good player.
-1st rd QB Mark Fox only went up 3/2 (9/28), and I expect to see him end up better then Dominic Maloney (who took a nice hit) taken 12th overall.
-4th rd DT Pereze went up 2/2. I hope to see him continue climbing like Bridges and Dunn have before him.

After that it gets very boring though.

-New starting QB Les Rogers went up 5/1 and to B experience. I was hoping for a couple more future points but I will take it.
- A lot of 0's or -1's for rookie futures, which tells me nothing about them being bad or good down the road.
-Typical veteran drops. No busts or booms.

I guess I will see what preseason games bring to the ratings.....

Can someone post the list of booms/busts? I didn't do an extract before TC..
