I think that Brandon probably has an average work ethic, but missing big chunks of training camp and work-outs in two out of four seasons doesn't do too much to prove him a workaholic.
It does when it counts.
And so far back to back 1k, 100 catch seasons, sure show that. Also practicing late at night in Jays back yard throwing passes and going over routes so he wouldnt be behind from his suspension last year.
I could care less how much time he is in camp, mandatory or not (which i believe he hasnt missed yet) as long as he works on the field.
Its a bad comparison, but the example is perfect. TO- he works out in camp when he wants to, but on the field you cannot argue his work ethic at all.
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
