Now this report is nowhere near Mikeys, and I dont write stuff down so its all mental so take it for what its worth. Its just my opinion from what I saw today to help some of you who are hungry for info.
The first half of practice was primarliy drills with respective units and a lot of work on ST in the punting department. Moorman is still a freakin beast, booming punts. I saw one that had to be about 70 yards on the fly. Parrish fielded most and looked good while Leonhard fielded some others and unfortunately fumbled one.
JP looked GREAT. Keep in mind, there is no pass rush during most of the drills, but i absolutely loved what I saw from him. In years past, he would throw a lot of balls short, or just basically inaccurately, but not anymore. He has a confidence and its shows. Most of his passes were spot on during a drill only using receivers and TEs against LBs and DBs. He managed to hit Parrish on a BEAUTIFUL ball about 50 yards down the right side of the field. He put it only where Roscoe could grab it before he stepped out. On the very next play, JP hit Evans on what would probably been another 60 yard TD reception. It was a play very similar to those scored against Houston where JP and Evans kinda gave a fake on a short route then Evans found the spot between the CB who was beat and the safety and took it down the sidelines for what would have been a TD. Im very excited to see JP get started this year.
If todays practice is any idication of whats to come at backup QB, Nalls days are numbered. He looked pretty damn bad in his first three throws, throwing the first one at Royals feet. Then on the second he tried threading the needle in which Poz made a great play to deflect the pass. After that He overthrew someone else at the sideline who was double covered. Overall, he was not good. Edwards on the other hand looked good. He made a few good plays to the sideline and later in a drill with pass rush he hit Aiken down the middle for about a 40 yard gain.
I didnt see a whole lot from Lynch. They didnt have him really involved from what I saw yet, mainly bc they did a lot of passing. I did however see him doing screen pass drills in which he looked very good catching the ball out of the backfield. Its a world of differnce from Willis.
The left side of our Oline is an absolute wall. When they were doing full team scrimmage, it often looked like they were bored with the guys challenging them. Peters had no problems and Dockery seemed to dominate as well.
McCargo was there and looked fine. He managed to get good penetration into the backfield a few times and doesnt look slowed down by his foot.
Coy Wires days as a safety are done, as he did all his work with LBs.
Everett made a few good catches, and even Price managed to grab a few nice ones.
Thats about all I can think of right now, trying to remember as much as possible and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask and ill see if i can answer. Besides that, Im sure Mikey will have a better report for you all soon. Hope this was a good appetizer.
