I see this somewhat with Adam Humphries out of the slot, too. I like watching these two then seeing how others run their routes. they're disciplined and hold fakes a bit longer or conceal their plans better.

Eagles were tight against the cap. This gives them breathing room for this season for moves and added $ for carryover if not used https://t.co/uquiKepMe1

I am pretty sure that every single note that I’ve seen come out of Giants camp this year has involved something bad happening and a bunch of people doing wind sprints. https://t.co/n0v2gCuqYA

Joe Judge just sent the whole defense and some of their coaches on a lap #Giants pic.twitter.com/T0O8JXrw8t

After doing 100 yard runs — and not hard enough for Joe Judge’s liking — players are now lined up on the foal line doing push ups.

There is dead silence except for Joe Judge’s whistle and his expletives. … So many expletives.

A new milestone for the NFL: 90 percent of players league-wide have received at least one vaccine dose.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) August 3, 2021

Can confirm Washington's vaccination rate is now at 84%, as USA Today first reported. That includes players with at least one shot. Of that group, 50.5% are fully vaccinated.

That's quite a leap for Washington, though they rank 27th overall, as @NickiJhabvala reported.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 3, 2021

One thought on this: 84% is from the 90 man roster (about 75 players). 37 from that 90 are going to be cut. So of the 75 vaccinated players, how many are final roster guys? Will that 84% go up or down once final cuts are made? https://t.co/ARrdVXKjVY
