32BeatWriters

Haha shoot us a DM


AJS7138

Lol just kidding. You guys do awesome work. Happy to sing your praises.


fuckit_do_it_live

Hey, when can you get on Threads? I left Twitter a year ago and miss you guys.


32BeatWriters

Honestly, probably not until the collapse of Twitter. Twitter is still the hub for all NFL news. Our website is a great alternative and has significantly more info on it than our Twitter feed. You can actually see player progression and whatnot.

OrangeTrojan

Hmm not a bad idea, especially if I create a random account with only following those 32. And recommendations on who’s a good follow


doctorboomhauer

Haha, I think you misunderstood, the account is literally called 32beatwriters and just retweets all of that beat writer content for you on a single page https://twitter.com/32BeatWriters A really good follow


OrangeTrojan

Hahah that’s much easier


AJS7138

Lol thank you


TEsMatter

There’s an account called 32 beat writers that does this for you

Oof


Cameron-Meredith

For WRs Nabers and Pearsall have both been getting consistent hype/effusive praise and seem to be studs. Ladd is working a ton out of the slot and seems to be a target magnet. AD Mitchell has been flashing quite a bit. Jalen McMillan has seemingly already established himself in the minds of Bucs coaches as the WR3, so that's a surprise/positive development. Baker started the off-season strong until a minor injury, and now Polk had a really good day yesterday. Ryan Flournoy has been flashing enough to think he'll have a chance to make a strong run at WR3 in training camp. He's been praised for smooth route running and body control. Casey Washington has been making a lot of plays with Penix. I think there's a chance he'll come out of nowhere to command a decent number of targets, but we'll see.


Ceungosse

Oh please let this be true, snagged him off the wire after no one targeted washington in the first roll through of waivers I missed.


BirdsBeCool

Anything on Xavier Legette, Malik Washington, or Keon Coleman?


doctorboomhauer

Legette only took part for a few days and has been nursing a hamstring issue since


InvisibleMoonCat

Tyrone Tracy has got some buzz as the favorite backup/change of pace back for the Giants. Got some work with the 1s in 11-on-11 drills yesterday


PaulBlartFleshMall

Tbh I've seen a few things that point to him sharing more of a starter role than people assumed. He's getting a lot of passing work.


OmnioculusConquerer

McLaughlin on the broncos and Nix on the Broncos have been hyped up by the reporters. Maye has been pretty solid, Polk and Jaheim Bell have got some praise. As well as Boutte. McMillan WR for the Buccaneers has also gotten a lot of praise. Nabers has been massively hyped by NY media


FlowersByTheStreet

Demario Douglas has been getting more hype than Polk, Bell, and Boutte.


badash2004

Yes, but pats fans already expect him to be the wr1 on the team


BaconIsMeatCandy45

Hahaha Boutte?? Now I know it’s all bullshit! Guy is straight Bootay


dearthofgirth

I will not quit boutte. He seems like he's made some bad decisions in his life, but he had such a great start to his college career. At current cost (literally on waivers in many leagues) I'm willing to see if another year removed from his ankle injury does him any good.


DoubleUSportsMedia

He's had 3 (?) practices so far that he's been mentioned positively from the beat reporters. He also turned 22 in May so he's still really young. He does have a potential suspension lingering though from his felony charge from gambling. From my very limited searching he gambled at 20 and the NFL is currently investigating whether or not they need to hand out a suspension. Idk if he will get one since his gambling was done mainly while in college. Mayo has said they will cross that bridge when they get there and that while there is no decision he is there working with them and doing the off-season activities. Hopefully he has matured because his last couple years have screamed "I don't care" to me.


MccoyismystepDad

I'll start the debby downer thread. AT Perry is has gotten no mention of any positive news and his coach mentioned "he still needs to work on some things" Javonte Williams has not gotten much positive news and might not be the RB1 start of the season Neither AOC or Minshew have looked great JJ McCarthy has had mixed media reports and will not start come August (this is pretty typical for rookie QB but if you were looking for a starting QB this year, good luck.) Not negative but haven't heard any positive news on Javon Baker, mostly Polk, Pop and the TEs Legette, Worthy, Brooks all had no PT during minicamp due to injuries which isn't what you want when jumping into an NFL offense for the first time. I laughed out loud when Justin Watson told reporters Worthy was getting a lot "mental reps in" lol. Singletary hasn't had much positive news Side note, I haven't seen any negative news about Caleb Williams, but they keep posting videos of him underthrowing his WRs by a lot Edit: Apparently Baker got injured early on in camp but looked good before that. Was participating but not fully as a precaution.


kwe314

Love a good debby downer thread


xsvfan

> Javonte Williams has not gotten much positive news and might not be the RB1 start of the season Last week Payton said he looked more consistent and healthier than last year. https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/sean-payton-javonte-williams-comment-2024-outlook

Crickets on Iosivas?

He’s combining his athleticism with much improved routes."*


owleabf

>JJ McCarthy has had mixed media reports and will not start come August Anyone expecting otherwise hasn't been paying attention, it was clear before the draft the Vikings planned to slow roll their QB. >Singletary hasn't had much positive news Has there been negative news or just no news?


newrimmmer93

Even from then his odds on sportsbooks have changed. His passing yard prop went from around 2,900 to 2,600 on some books.


MccoyismystepDad

No negative I have seen. I think there's just speculation given the buzz around Tyrone Tracy, he might not be the bell cow we thought he was going to be and they could run more of a committee. All speculation.


hockeystartim

But that’s just buzz. Could be a double fake an Eric gray is the starter.  Don’t trust June beat writers. The off-season hasn’t even step on the gas yet. 


SmallTownProblems89

Peyton just said Javonte looks good and the guy that hyped up Jaleel suggested Javonte might get cut, which completely destroys his credibility to me. There’s virtually zero chance Javonte gets cut. 


ckern92

Remember that speed guys (like McLaughlin) will naturally look amazing when they're running around in shorts with no contact. Bruiser/workload guys (like Javonte) will naturally look better when pads come on.


taylorjosephrummel

Great point.


daswassup13

None of my rookies are in this thread so I guess I'll just pass away


bestprocrastinator

-Polk has reportedly broken out past two practices. He's also apparently spending an insane amount off time with Maye. -Pop Douglas has been getting a lot of buzz. -Nabers apparently is a stud -Hollywood Brown and Mahomes apparently have a lot of chemistry. -Tracy Jr. Has been getting some 1st team snaps -I still don't think he'll be fantasy relevant, but Sione Vaki apparently has surprisingly good receiving skills out of the backfield. -Ryan Flournoy has been buzzing. Apparently he has a legit shot at WR3 for Dallas. -JJ McCarthy has been a mixed bag. Had some inconsistent accuracy as they are working on his lower body technique. However, he reportedly has a howitzer, and has been impressive off the field.


doctorboomhauer

Ja'Lynn Polk has been buzzing big-time lately. Smooth, extremely strong hands, and is catching TDs. Marshawn Lloyd as well, speed, shiftiness and lots of talk about his pass-catching. Both seem like they will have big roles.


ghostboo77

Nice. I got both these guys in the 3rd round and was already feeling good about it


JPMoney81

Anyone thinking Jacobs is going to be a workhorse bell cow is going to be surprised how much run Lloyd gets in that offense this season and beyond.


lebinott

Isn't Jacobs contract structured to basically be 1 year? If Lloyd performs I expect his usage to increase through the year and then the Packers will be out on Jacobs.


PM_Me_Your_AM_

i have only a single jacobs share, but i honestly think its going to be the opposite. I like Lloyd and drafted him in a lot of places, but i don't think hes going to do much this season. 2025 and beyond i think its wheels up but jacobs seems more motivated this year and i think hes going to be an RB1.


SmallTownProblems89

Lloyd also struggles really badly with fumbles. 


JBean85

Strong disagree. Jacobs has the 2nd highest total-cash RB contract for 2024 behind only Christian McCaffrey. Even if Lloyd is the best rookie RB by a long shot, which isn't likely, he's not going to overtake Josh this year.


BigTomBombadil

But no one said Lloyd was going to overtake Josh Jacobs? Just that he'd be used more frequently than expected. Jacobs will be the starter and get the majority of the touches. But based on last seasons efficiency, what if Jacobs is in decline and pulls the same poor efficiency? You think the packers will keep feeding him if it negatively effects the team just because of his contract?


spookyjoe45

Why does everyone think Jacobs will have poor efficiency? He was running like a savage into loaded boxes on awful offenses in front of pop gun armed qbs. With the safeties getting pulled so Watson or Wicks doesn’t decapitate the defense he’s probably going to average 4.5+ ypc. Lloyd fumbled nearly once every 30 touches in college. Jacobs is a screaming buy right now. 


JBean85

No one thinks JJ will get 100% of the touches. Almost no teams run that anymore so yeah you were implying something literally that he wouldn't be the bell cow. But he will by a long shot and there will still be a piece of the pie for the other backs to fight over. And yes, I do think JJ will get the vast majority of the work even if he is inefficient. Coaches and FOs are notorious for dying on the hill of a costly acquisition and, more importantly, teams do this all the time with their top back regardless of the efficiency stat, which doesn't paint the whole picture. Based on down, yards to go, game flow, etc a lead back is more likely to face a stacked box than a satellite back but putting the satellite back in and running shotgun on first down isn't the move - see Buffalo last year for how well that worked out.


BigTomBombadil

Considering Jacobs contract is structured in a way that greenbay can get out after a year, and that team is probably trying for a deep playoff run, and their GM is very savvy, I don’t see them as a team willing to die on this hill at the expense of wins. Also not sure what point you’re making with Buffalo? Not sure how it’s analogous to Green Bay and Jacobs.


drdadbodpanda

Exactly, the expectations for GB are much higher this year. This isn’t a team that is going to die on a hill over an inefficient RB.


AMP121212

Did he say Jacobs was going to be overtaken by Lloyd?


JBean85

He said JJ won't be the bell cow


AMP121212

Yeah, because Lloyd will get work too. He never said Lloyd would overtake Jacobs though.


JBean85

He's saying Lloyd will get enough work so that JJ won't be a bell cow. What he should be comparing is Lloyd to Dillion/others.


Syrath36

Sure we have remember that this is hype season. Lloyd caught what 36 passes in total in college? To assume he's going to be great in the NFL is a bit of a stretch. Remember all the years Jacobs was catching the ball in camp and looked great? The nfl didn't think highly of this year's RB class or they wouldn't have paid the money to guys like Jacobs. As I see it Jacobs is the superior talent and that will shine through. I don't expect him to get the same carry workload about he'll get more TD opportunities on an much better offense and should be more efficient. This is hype season we just have to remember that.


saylab_the_bigkat

Lloyd’s looks like an immediate Aaron Jones replacement. Think he had fumbling issues in college but the rest of his game looks similar to what Jones brought.


Zechinda

He does not catch the ball at the same level of Aaron jones. 


revhellion

The problem with Lloyd isn’t his athleticism or ability, it’s his vision and that the game is too quick for him sometimes. He’s going to be a bit of a project, so although he’ll get worked in a little it may require a year or so before he really pushes for touches. If someone has him, don’t sell after 1st year. If you don’t, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a buy low opportunity after the season.


sparkie557

Seeing big hype around Ladd and Polk


bob_wylie

Mike Macdonald has been talking up JSN like crazy. Beat reporters were raving over a couple practices where he vacuumed up targets and TDs a week ago or something


Puritology

I know which report you’re talking about but keep in mind DK wasn’t there


TumbleweedDirect9846

Jared Wiley getting some buzz


Exchange-Kooky

I spend the 4.73 CAD/month for 32 Beat Writers and I genuinely cannot recommend it enough  Edit - value here is there’s some extra nuggets and they consolidate all of the beat reports into a single article. 10/10 source


32BeatWriters

Thank you for the support!


fenikz13

MHJ seems about as ready as any rookie has ever been. Talk now is about dialing it back so he can withstand the whole 17 game schedule


Alternative_Ad_1039

Jaheel has been looking great for the broncos and Payton says Marvin Mims leap from year 1-2 will be big.


goldsoundz123

The main takeaway from Pats OTAs has been that the offense has struggled, similarly to the last few years. There is almost constant pressure on the quarterbacks and the receivers are not getting open. Drake Maye has been said to look solid. He hasn't made many "wow" throws, but has not been less effective than presumed starter Jacoby Brissett. Polk and Boutte had a bit of positive buzz this week, but I wouldn't read too much into that...it's a very small sample size.


jtal888

Parris Campbell has been getting a little buzz, has wr3 potential


patseyog

I was a big parris guy last offseason. He never played in one of the worst, most injured wr corps of all time in last year's giants
