I love this time of year.
I hate this time of year.
I love it, because fall camp is a sign that REAL FOOTBALL is not to far away. I hate it because it’s so filled with bullshit accompanying an undefeated team that it is impalpable.
This guy’s going to provide the pass rush, that guy is going to come out of nowhere to make a splash, it goes on because you want to know about each and every new player coming in.
Nice articles, every one of them, but those new guys and rising stars are not the reason we’re going to win more games in 2016.

Yes, it is as simple as that. Getting everyone moving in the same direction isn’t simple, but the concept is!
