First off I would like to agree with Chris Brown and say that Jason Peters was pretty much toying with the ends. Nobody even came close to getting by him. It was very exciting to watch him one on one. The rest of the line however is another story. The defensive line won the other battles hands down which is obviously good and bad. The great news is that I thought McCargo looked really quick off the snap and he is a lot bigger than I thought he was so he gets a good push. Tripplett looked good. Tim Andersen looked a little above average is how I would put it. Mike Gandy got beat a number of times and not just by Schobel. There some second and third stringers beating him.
As for the QB's once again neither seperated themselves from the other. The good news is they both looked better today. Jp did throw a pick, but it was tipped into the air off Evans' hands. Holcomb really has trouble hitting the recievers in stride down the field. Holcomb also had a pretty bad fumble and would have been sacked a couple times. I only remember once where I thought that would have gotten JP down. Both were pretty accurate tonight so that is a positive.
The RB's look outstanding at this point. Anthony Thomas had the best night I thought breaking two runs to the outside that would have gone for big gainers. We really need to get Lionel Gates on the field this year because he looks really good again this camp. He broke a couple nice ones. Willis was Willis. They ran one reverse with Peerless Price that may have gone for a TD.
The WR's all have looked good I can't think of one complaint I have with them. Evans made a great grab on his back. Nance caught a few balls. Roscoe is lethal after the catch. Reed made a couple nice ones. They are spreading the ball around everywhere. Jonathan Smith looked good tonight also.
I think we are going to be pretty pleased with Robert Royal's recieving as well as blocking. He has caught a lot of balls so far. I didn't realize how big Everett was which may be why they are using him a lot to block.
I don't have a whole lot to say about the defense, but to me it looks like they have the swagger back. They have really looked good flying to the ball in my opinion. I honestly wouldn'y be surprised to see Ko Simpson get some time this year because I have been very impressed with him so far. Our LB depth is nuts. Our CB depth is nuts. I have been very surprised at how good the D-Line has looked up the middle so far. The only big runs have been to the outside.
Overall I think it was a good practice, and I think we have some things to look forward to. With that said as usual the big questions remain the QB and the O-Line. Hope you enjoyed.
