We have just completed the first phase of camp. Here are my notes:
1. The defense looks like they are going to be better than ever. Mike B and Cliff are leading the young bucks with a ferocious pass rush. Our linebackers are making plays all over the field. Bruce and KJ, specifically, are making it hard on our offense. Sherm is doing his thing in the back end, and the young guys are learning on the fast track.
2. John Schneider is a hustler. The man has made several decisions in the past two years that is keeping the window open longer for us to make runs at the championship. With the major signings of Russ and Bobby as well as some other things he has in the works, he's making a case for GM of the decade.. He's had to make tough decisions but he's maneuvering the ship around a plethora of obstacles.
3. This is the best receiving core I have been around in all my years of football. Kevin Smith, Doug McNeil, Tyler Lockett, Kevin Norwood and Chris Matthews are showing up in a big way and consistently. These guys are passionate about their craft and they have shown it throughout the first phase of camp. I think Tyler Lockett can be something special.
Camp is off to a great start. Thankful to be with this amazing organization and around the best teammates in the world. Now time for some treatment, a massage and some unhealthy food. Then some good sleep before the start of the next phase. Till next time. #GoHawks and #StayFresh
