Better of the remainder from throughout the league
Jets QB Sam Darnold nonetheless communicates with the just lately retired Josh McCown each different day. Darnold stated McCown “misses it each single day” and continually asks questions concerning the staff. On Saturday, McCown visited camp and stood with Adam Gase on the sideline. Requested if he’ll thoughts if McCown criticizes him in his new position as an ESPN analyst, Darnold cracked, “He’ll in all probability be loads nicer on TV, even when he is essential, than he can be within the movie room.”
Saturday was Ryan Fitzpatrick’s worst day at apply. He was off on his accuracy at occasions and simply needed to run to T.N.T. wall after a mishandled snap with Chris Reed. Josh Rosen, alternatively, had his greatest session together with a pleasant play-action TD to Nick O’Leary. First glimpse of a real back-and-forth QB battle. For those who’re holding rating by three days of camp, Fitzpatrick has received two days and Rosen one.
Ron Rivera did not hesitate when requested if he would need to be part of one other present just like the Amazon Prime sequence ‘’All or Nothing” by which his profanity-laced halftime speech at Pittsburgh was one of many highlights. ‘’No,” the Panthers coach stated. ‘’There have been cameras in all places, … It was arduous.

Takeaways from the Browns’ third apply:
1. The primary day of pads was a irritating one for the first-team offense, as Baker Mayfield and Co. couldn’t actually get something going throughout staff interval. In truth at one level, Mayfield screamed at his WRs to work again to him off a scramble. The offense, nonetheless, did flash its firepower on the finish throughout 2-minute, scoring on simply three performs with a Jarvis Landry TD seize. The results of the primary two offensive snaps, nonetheless, in staff: a false begin (by a number of gamers) and a T.J. Carrie interception, as Mayfield tried to seek out OBJ on a deep submit. Tough begin.
Seen quite a lot of alternative ways Packers gamers have performed the children bike factor however cannot say I’ve seen something fairly like what offensive lineman Gerhard de Beer is doing.
