Nashville should have denied his release.

This camp is meaningless, won't affect his standing with the NT, and how do they not consider NSC preseason more important?

Because he will stay in shape against a higher caliber group of players and bring that higher level back with him to Nashville.

If he’s the most talented player in the locker room at his position - and he practices only against his own squad, then he will never get any better.

he also needs to work on chemistry with Maher and Shaq in the back ( and even the backups just in case) and be focused on NSC season. WC was seemed like a distraction for him last season

Sure if we're talking about a young player. But Zimmerman is past his prime and has been declining the last two years.

I'd argue his club form has been worse since he became a USMNT regular.

Also this camp is not a significantly higher level than NSC.

Additionally, he has a new CB partner this year. He and Maher are going to need reps

i would not agree with this

there is probably some truth to this

The area I notice his decline or stagnation is mostly in the mental areas.

Physically he's at the tail end or already past his peak.

Technically, he's hasn't improved. He still isn't a good distributor.

Mentally however, he finds himself out of position more often now. He has not tracked runners well for NSC the last few years. And he more prone to critical mistakes

Can someone explain the Is It Cake reference?

This was a good explanation I found to make sure I was correct. It’s basically a very unimportant camp.

I cannot, it was just the title of the article, lol. i figured it'd get taken down if I altered it.

Instead of worry about his man bun maybe concentrate on his play. At best he gets a C grade at the WC.

I gotta say, i'm fucking sick of guys missing time for USNT shit. I mean...why the fuck are they having a camp a month after the damn thing just ended when the next WC isn't for 4 years?! It really seemed to effect Zim's play last year as well, and now we have less quality depth behind him if he gets hurt.

It’s the reality of having an international level player.

It makes sense that the USMNT wants guys with experience to be there for the younger players being included in these games, and players in Europe are fully back into their seasons, but this sucks

i guess my bigger question really is...why the fuck are we having games so soon after the WC? its worthless. its like a coach ( or nfl) saying in the locker room after the super bowl just ended....great job guys, see you next week for practice.
