The team continued to practice in full pads and work harder than they have worked in years. This is truly a different camp from what we are used to seeing. There is a lot more work on individual drills, plus more one-on-one teaching by the coaches. The players are also a lot more focused. As always, the team spent time working on the 7-on-7, 9-on-9, and the 11-on-11 drills. The team also worked on special teams drills, including kickoff coverage and line blocking on punts.

The players started out the day right away like they usually do by working on gap assignments and doing a quick walk-thru. Following the walk-thru, the team split into the individual units and worked on their own drills. My focus was the Defensive Backs and the Linebackers vs Running Backs/Tight Ends. The Defensive Backs started out practicing route running and working on footwork drills. Next, the players practiced catching balls from the jugs machine. For the most part, the players caught everything thrown their way. But, Ashton Youboty dropped one and also misjudged one. Ellis Lankster dropped one that was right off his fingertips. Drayton Florence also had one that he misjudged and couldn't catch the ball. On the positive side, Terrence McGee timed his jumps perfectly and caught everything. Reggie Corner had a couple nice leaping catches. Leodis McKelvin also hauled in a few high ones. After the players were done with this drill, they worked on one-on-ones against eachother...........

Tell Trent to cut his hair.

Trust me, I've been saying that all camp. It looks too California Surfer boy and reminds me of both Rob Johnson and JP Losman. If only he had a haircut like his rookie season, then it looked exactly like Fitzpatrick's.

[DraftBoy]

Good report as always Mike!

Your value to this site is under stated.

[Jan Reimers]

Your training camp reports are by far the best, from any source. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date, Mike.

[Night Train]

Mike is far too positive in his reviews. We all know we're void of talent and every player sucks. Quit selling false hope.

[FlyingDutchman]

I keep forgetting we have Youboty

:spit: I was surfing the channels yesterday and saw Jessica Alba (:hungry:) dancing, so I stop it right there, then just a second after this, a guy shows up wearing a # 11 jersey, yes it was a R. Johnson jersey!!!

Michael, great report, awesome pics, what else can I say, GRACIAS!! :bf1: :up: :bow: :beers: :boozer:

Please, one name, Joique Bell! :respect:

[JCBills]

Thanks Mikey, good to see Meredith has progressed since the beginning of camp.

Thanks Jan! Glad you guys enjoy them.

lol...I try to be a little of both, positive and negative but I'm an optimistic guy, so it's hard for me not to show a little positivity.


I keep forgetting we have Youboty

Me too.


great work Mikey! :up:

No problem.

Trent still looks like Trent. You can do whatever you want with that. ::: As for Fitzpatrick, he continues to look the worst and is the guy I see getting cut, IMo.


Please, one name, Joique Bell! :respect:

Joique Bell is the man, but he's definitely getting competition from Chad Simpson who has great speed too.

[Michael82]

I will have a camp report from tonight, tomorrow morning when I get out of work. :ontome:
