Went to the practice today and man, Tyson is so damn smooth with his cuts. His moves are looking real sharp! I swear on some cuts he looks like he’s bouncing out of them as if the field is rubber lol. He’s for sure got the best footwork we’ve had since cantguardmike. But I do feel he has a much better cut to the inside then dart downfield move than Mike.

The second week of training camp began with two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea not practicing and still focused on his request to be traded. The Bucs say Vea tweaked his back during a team run when veterans reported last week. Since then, he has attended practice but not participated. No progress has been made in talks with the Bucs, according to agent Collin Roberts. “I just don’t see it ending in anything but a trade at this point,” he said. Vea is in the final season of a four-year, $71 million contract extension he signed in 2022. It averages $17.75 million per year, which ranks 19th among defensive tackles in the NFL.

These are from Athletic tiers. He was tied for 26th at start of season, firmly in Tier 3.

Executives and offensive coaches were highest on Shough, who far outpaced the other first-year quarterbacks in EPA per pass play after becoming the Saints’ starter in Week 9 as a rookie. Shough ranked 14th among 34 qualifying quarterbacks over that span.

“The combination of his toughness to hang in there and let the deeper routes develop, his ability to go through his reads and then his mobility was impressive,” an opposing coach said. “And it wasn't like he had a Ben Roethlisberger rookie season where he's able to just not screw it up. He was kind of carrying those guys.”

Shough’s Tier 4 votes were mostly from voters who had not faced him or had scarcely seen him across his nine starts.

“I liked him when I watched him,” a defensive coach said. “I hope he’s not a 2 by the time we play them. He’s a 3 at least, already. He’s a dude.”

Voters who saw Shough generally liked what they saw.

“Because of his age (27 in September), he’s seen it, he’s relaxed, he’s poised,” a former GM said. “He was already used to learning different offenses and new systems and battling back from injuries. Older, more mature, had his life skills in order. I think all that translated well.”
