USFL Camp

Post by 4th&long »

Camp starting tomorrow - a couple days later than originally stated though I think they are doing pre-camp admin during Mon-Tuesday.

Hopefully we'll get some pics and more from this week's start.

Here's a teaser video from USFL twitter...

As camp is starting pics are starting to come out...

I'd imagine with some practice time under belt we'll see more news

It looks like camp official start was 23rd

Here are some former NY Giants in USFL (likely PS, camp and an active or two), quite a few:

FoxSports: Coach Fedora

Post by 4th&long »

>> He has spent a lot of time on the phone with NFL coaches to try to be sure he uses his staff’s and players’ time responsibly.

"That's been the greatest challenge for me at this point is learning how to do that," Fedora said.

Instead of 15 practice days in the spring and a full month of training camp in the summer, he has just over one month to prepare for his first game of the season. Instead of 10 on-the-field assistants and more than two dozen support staffers, he’ll have just six assistants and two quality-control coaches at his disposal.

Instead of a full practice field on which he got to dictate when and where his teams in Hattiesburg and Chapel Hill would practice, he’s sharing a practice site and alternating between morning and afternoon practices with another USFL team as he prepares for the Breakers’ first game of the season against the Philadelphia Stars.

"You’re going to see three to four days of install from us," he said. "We will probably put in 95 percent of the scheme, offensively and defensively and with special teams, in those first four days. We're gonna throw it all at them."<<

Hopefully Sumlin and Holtz do the same in talking to NFL coaches. If they ever get to coach in the NFL, hopefully they know who Aaron Donald and Deebo Samuel are.

Not sure where else to put this, but saw some interesting camp transactions via USFL twitter.

Notable;

-Bandits listed Eli Rogers as "Reserved - Did Not Report"
-Generals released Ben Holmes and signed Luis Perez

I think these guys will, like the spring leagues before - build a bond and that will get stronger through the season
