QB's: Holcomb threw three picks that were all just awful throws. He overthrew the recievers and they landed right in the defenders hands. He had a couple nice passes, but he looked terrible. He was holding the ball a lot longer than usual also and would have been sacked at least once. Jp wasn't much more impressive than Holcomb, but at least he didn't turn the ball over. He did have a real nice deep throw during the two minute drill, but didn't have a chance to finish the drive due to time. He was off target most of the night. Both QB's left a lot to be desired for me. On the bright side JP did split snaps with the first team this time and I think he may have even started with them first.
HB's: Same old story here all looked good again. Willis is chisled. The guy is in outstanding shape, and I think the closer the season gets he is what I am most excited for.
WR's: All looked good again. Price is having a great camp as is Parrish. Parrish was awesome on punt returns as well. He had one that may have gone back for a TD. Andre Davis is quietly having a good camp so far. He catches everything they throw at him. I really can't find anything bad about any of the recivers at this point.
TE's: Royal again looked good while Everett wasn't used much again.
OL: Gandy was wearing number 60 tonight for some reason, but I think he needs to worry more about his poor blocking than what number he is wearing because he has not impressed thus far. I think everyone else has been at least average with the exception being Peters who will be a pro bowler some day in my opinion. Aaron Gibson looked good and he moves really well for how big he is. I saw him pull to the left on one play and open a nice hole for Lionel Gates. Other than Gibson I am really starting to worry about our depth at this position. When the 1st team goes out it is constant pressure on the QB's, and it has been this way all five practices I have been to.
DL: Very interesting to see Kyle Williams getting snaps with the first team defense tonight. Says a lot about him and about Tim Anderson. I think we are really going to like this draft we had by next season. Schobel looked good off the edge. Our backup DL is owning our backup OL hands down.
LB's: Angelo Crowell is at the ball 99% of the time when the whistle blows, and I am getting very excited to watch him progress this year. He could be our new Spikes if you want to call it that within a year. The guy is lightning quick. Spikes was running with the second team defense in the 11 on 11 full contact drills tonight whatever that means. Ellison has looked pretty good so far. Liam Ezekiel looked good tonight. Stamer had some nice plays, and Courtney Watson is going to provide some nice depth for us.
DB's: I feel confident enough in Terrence McGee to say that he is now our best corner. He knocks balls down non stop. Clements did have one great play where he was beat deep, and he showed great recovery speed while the ball was in the air and jumped up to block it when he saw Andre Davis go for it. It may have been flagged for interference, but I thought it was good timing. Ko Simpson continues to impress as he is always around the ball. Youboty is back in action with the third team and looks pretty good out there. Eric Bassey picked Holcomb off once. Jabari Greer had a nice play that I can't remember what happened, but I remember thinking to myself that was a nice play again by Greer. I believe Rashad Baker picked Holcomb off once also as did Matt Bowen. Troy Vincent saw a lot of time at nickel corner with Baker as the safety. Not much to say about Donte Whitner so far except that on one blitz I was watching him closely on he flew up the middle and may have had a chance to knock the ball out of JP's hand as it was throw if it had been live action. He is very fast that is for sure, but other than that I don't have much to report.
P: Brian Moorman isn't human. That guy was bombing kicks from between the 10 and 20 down to the other 17 yard line area. Unreal.
Overall: Very disappointed with the QB play save a couple nice throws here and there. JP at least has the inexperience excuse, but there is no excuse for how bad Holcomb was. Our D is going to be nasty again I can just feel the energy of this defense like I could two years ago. They have that same hunger. Crowell could be one of the surprises around the league if he continues to play like this. Spikes did look good coming on the blitz. Until I see something different I think we may be looking at another year of inconsistency from our offense.
Things to be excited about: First and foremost Willis looks sick so far. Parrish could have some really exciting plays. And Perhaps the thing that I am most excited about is the draft class that Marv picked. These guys have all looked good. Even Ellison has impressed me. It is going to be hard for the coaching staff to let Ko Simpson sit on the bench I think. Hope you enjoyed the report. If you have any questions about anyone feel free to ask.
