Hey guys, went to the practice tonight...just figured id point out a few things I noticed tonight (in no particular order)
1. The offensive line protected very well in pass coverage tonight for the most part. I was impressed. However the 2nd stringers looked horrible. Kirk Chambers was on the Second-Team LT and was getting abused. I've heard multiple reports that Cornell Green looked miserable in pass protection, but tonight he looked solid.
2. All 4 QB's look lost. Brohm and Brown couldn't anticipate a throw all night and their throws were always late and inaccurate. Brohm completely stares down the reciever and throws the ball extremely low. Edwards was patting the ball all night, and he threw a terrible interception to Donte Whitner. He did make the one positive offensive play of the night hitting Lee Evans on a bomb down the sideline with a perfect pass. Fitzpatrick was forcing throws over the middle of the field but still looked like the 2nd best QB on the roster.
3. Leodis McKelvin fumbled another punt
4. Alex Carrington looks JACKED, and got into the backfield a few times on running plays. This kid has a lot of potential.
5. Aaron Maybin was lined up as a DE tonight and was getting knocked out of both run and pass plays by Kirk Chambers and Jonathan Stupar. He looks quick off the line but all you need to do is put a hand on the guy and he is stopped cold in his tracks.
6. Chris Ellis was seeing time with the starters with Torbor on the other side. It seems like the coaching staff is gaining a lot of confidence in him.
7. Chan Gailey is always in the offensive huddle, letting the guys know where they need to be, and always talking to the QB. It's such a relief to see a coach who actually COACHES!!
8. George Wilson was in on a couple of nice pass breakups...I am a huge fan of this guy and hope he is a Bill for a long time. Bryan Scott made an interception as well. I really like our safeties.
9. CJ Spiller was thrown right into the fire with the second-team and made a GREAT cutback run. He is by far the fastest player on the field. Can't wait to see him play in a real game.
10. Ellis Lankster made a nice defensive play where he was beaten by Donald Jones but didn't give up on the play and broke up the pass.
11. Eric Wood was the first one on the field, doing stretching ...joined next by Hangartner.
12. Chad Jackson looks quick especially on underneath slant routes. He could turn out to be our 2nd WR. Don't sleep on him.
13. Steve Johnson was seeing time with the starting unit, made a great catch on the sideline but also dropped a slant route that would have gone for 20 plus yards in the "1 minute drill"
14. Kawika Mitchell looked really quick and strong in the linebacker on running back drills completely shutting down Joique Bell on more than once occasion.
15. Speaking of Joquie Bell...he made a great run early in the practice, looks really quick and could be an awesome find.
that's all I have for now...
