Notes from training camp day 14

Since settling in with the No. 1 defense at free safety, Tedric Thompson has been getting more and more comfortable in that spot every day. And as Thompson gets more comfortable within that role, it allows him to play fast, something that shows up in a number of ways, not the least of which is his ability to go from a deep center field position towards the line of scrimmage in a hurry to make a play. On Thursday Thompson nearly intercepted a short pass and broke the ball up after starting the play from a deep middle assignment, and throughout camp he has looked fast and decisive in run support from that position as well.

“He’s growing,” safety Bradley McDougald said. “I just see growth continuously. Growing, not making the same mistake twice. He had a great play coming from the middle of the field today, breaking up a pass. Just gaining confidence, I think that’s what the first game did, and he’ll gain even more as he’ll continue to go through these preseason games and onto Week 1.”

If Tedric managed to do well, our team displaying good chemistry, is and has a winning record by mid season with defense hold its fort. What do we do if Earl decided to make his long resisted fold and return to the Hawks at that point?

That’s a no brainer.....
You play the best player at that position. ET.

Unless you are into holding grudges at the expense of losing games.

I think has to depend on our record at the time he decides to return. If we have a good record and a shot for a playoff berth you play him. But if we are not in that position and have little or no shot I would keep Tedric in for experience. It's not about holding grudges, but the future. At least in the second scenario.

Everyone at this points pretty much understands ET isn't re-singing with us if we don't franchise him next off-season. So let Tedric develop.

If you are talking mid season I don't think so, especially if T2 has been playing well. The issue is moot at this point and obviously both sides are willing to move on and with a young and up coming FS who is playing good football,,,,, sorry, he keeps playing.

If ET holds out during the season then our relationship with him is over. If we are keeping ET it has to be before the season starts. IMHO

Yeah, dumb idea.

If you have Thomas available to play at any point this year, you play him.
