(on if next week’s mini-camp will be different from OTAs) “I made a decision in the last couple of days. There are about 30 veteran players that are going to be here working out with (head strength and conditioning coach) Ray (Wright) and not practice. I’m going to practice all the young players.
We are going to go back and start over from Day 1 when we came out here and really catch these young men up – catch (Connor) Barwin up; catch (Jeremiah) Johnson up. All the players will be here, but only certain guys will be on the field.”

I think they should rename the upcoming weeks practice the "Connar Barwin mini-camp". Kubiak mentioned wanting to get Jeremiah Johnson (who like Barwin couldn't report before next week either) indoctrinated to, but Barwin is the key guy who they are really looking to get up to speed. There's gonna be a lot of pressure on our 2nd round pick (and the coachs), to be a productive player as early as this fall. They desparately want to get some help for Mario on pressuring the QB.
