Unfortunately only a camp arm.

Not the NFL.  Sam Straub was playing for the Potsdam Royals.  I've tried to keep track of him.  American football is obviously not followed like over here.  Not much information.  Apparently he is no longer with them.  Not listed on the roster anymore.  All I was able to find was a few blurbs from a June 24 game.  Then one sentence from August 9 stating Straub was injured with a concussion.

Haven't had a chance to see his first preseason game yet.  I was told he scored a td.

2:45

Hey, thanks SalukiWorld.  I watched the Titan's game last night.  It was easily the best game MyCole has played as a pro.  His blocking was much improved.  They didn't have him doing much drive blocking.  Hips probably still too tight to get low.  Mostly reach and stalk blocking.  Great to see someone finally figured out how to use him.  Still a very good receiver.  

I also watched the Viking's game.  Craig James looked good.  He was second rotation nickel back.  Did miss one tackle.  No PD's.  But no opportunities.  Second team KO.  It's always hard to watch DB's on tv.  They leave the picture so quickly.  But appeared to be in the assigned spots.  Looked like he probably is fighting for a spot on the practice squad again to start the year.

Finally, I watch the Jaguar's game.  Raphael Leonard did not look good.  Weak route running and poor cuts will look bad when watched in the position room.  But, his first pro game, so maybe it will get better.  He was targeted twice, but poor passes and no chance for a catch.  I didn't see him on any special teams.  Not good.  He's currently way down on the depth chart.  At a place where you have to be able to produce on special teams.

Ryan Neal feelin' it from Falcon's camp

Dolphins waived Chase Allen today.  Since he hasn't played much this preseason, and not at all in their last game, it's no surprise.  It makes one wonder if he is still feeling the effects of last year's injury.  When a veteran gets released this early, it's usually as a courtesy so that player has an opportunity of catching on with another team.  If healthy, I'm sure he has value as a special team player.
