Big Blue Huddle

Takeaways:

Work was done right outside the redzone doing 7/7 and 11/11 drills

Devin Singletary aka motor grabbed the 1st TD of otas.

Alex Johnson the UDFA from UCLA who led the pac 12 in INTs, impressed during rookie camp and continues to stand out now with the first Int of camp. Don't be surprised if he beats someone for a corner job.

Jones got a little work in 7 on 7 with wandale and nabors

Lock however took the lead for the majority of camp throwing to Nabers and everyone else.

The trio of Burns, Thibs, and Lawrence have really gotten close and are said to be building great chemistry up front.

Dru Phillips and Nubin are rooming together and working through the playbook together. It is said that Nubin has been calling some plays, will be interesting to see if it's him or Bobby OK with the calls

I'm not saying that walking isn't good for you but the truth is that the whole 10,000 steps thing started out as a marketing ploy by a Japanese company selling pedometers.

This is an excellent introduction to our FA signings. Like most, I've been disappointed till I'm jaded about the o line rebuild, and I'll believe it when I see it in a few games. Still,  these look like smart pick ups. That's what Accorsi did to build us a dominant o line that gave us 2, nearly three superbowls. 

Quote from: LennG on Today at 11:44:59 AMLet's try another rule question


Line drive hits off the pitching rubber, goes up in the air, and is caught by the 1st baseman in foul territory.

What's the call?

Hmm. I've always thought the pitching rubber is part of the ground. So in that case my guess would be it's a foul ball. The fact that the fielder caught the rebound is irrelevant since the ball had already touched the ground.

Quote from: LennG on Today at 11:44:59 AMAnd another one that happened to us earlier this season

Batter bunts the ball up the 1st base line. He drops his bat and it is in fair territory. The bunt rolls and hits the dropped bat and goes into foul territory.

What do you have on this play?

That's one I don't remember ever seeing before. I know I've seen foul balls hit twice, but only while the batter is still in the box. In that case I think it's still just a foul ball.

But when the ball hits the bat outside the batter's box seems to me like it should be either an immediate dead ball, or possibly some sort of interference. Because what's to prevent the batter from tossing the bat at a ball in play to push it away from a fielder trying to make a play to throw him out. So my guess is it's interference, batter is out.
Probably wrong though. 

he didn't delay/dominate the position for 5 years
