It’s really tough to gauge the progress of players during training camp. More times than not the players are in shorts and shells and contact is limited. There’s no way of really knowing if a running play was successful. Broken tackles are imaginary as are tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Strip sacks are frowned upon as oncoming pass rushers simply glide by the quarterback, knowing that they could have dropped their teammate for a sack. Yet plays continue.
Adding to the mirage that is training camp, is the varying speeds at which players play.
