Camp Report 7/31/13
Players not participating: Lance Kendricks; Matt Daniels; Jemelle Cudjo; Sammy Brown; Andrew Helmick; Matt Girdano; Nick Johnson
New players making their debut: OT Graham Pocic; WR Justin Verlung
Offensive Line:
1st Unit: Long C. Williams Wells Dahl Saffold
2nd Unit: Barksdale S. Smith Barnes Washington Nsekhe
LG rotation holds true for another day
Players rotating on a daily basis.
Today: 2nd unit QB was Kellen Clemens; Austin Davis taking 3rd unit reps
Want to preface today’s report by stating that the majority of the practice was on the FAR field, so my viewpoint was less than optimal. Just no way to get close to the action.
Theme of the day: DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE
• If they were keeping score you might have seen the defense pitch a shutout.
• Janoris Jenkins makes it look too easy.
• Trumaine Johnson continues to get better
• Alec Ogletree is going to be a beast
• TJ McDonald continues to show why he was drafted; looking more and more comfortable everyday
• Cody Davis filled in on the 2nd unit and had at least 3 interceptions (2 in TEAM drills)
• With the infusion of Ogletree and McDonald, and their ability to cover, they are playing much more “tight” MAN coverage with the CBs.
Overall, there just wasn’t much room to complete passes all day. The defense looked faster and was flying around. Wasn’t just one guy, it was the entire 1st unit. Even switched up the D-Line 1st & 2nd units.
First real skirmish of training camp. Surprise, Courtland Finnegan right in the middle of it. Both units came together and plenty of pushing and shoving that lasted for more than just a few seconds. Only took second day in pads to see the intensity ratcheting up.
On offense, Pead and Stacy had the bulk of the success running the ball. Stedman Bailey had his best day, catching passes from both with the 1’s & 2’s.
Special Teams work: FG unit got plenty of reps at end of team drills. Zuerlein is still thumping the ball, taking aim at the camera man in the tower. They haven’t stretched him out yet. He is kicking from the 35-45 yard range and looks very good.
Punt returners were Isaiah Pead; Tavon Austin and newcomer Justin Veltung
11 on 11• Offense was obviously installing a part of the system that hasn’t been seen a lot of thus far. Tavon Austin was not a part of the 1st unit for a good majority of the installation. Lots of Brian Quick, Stedman Bailey at WR, rotating with Pettis and Givens.
• Ran a lot of intermediate stuff, with little success.
• Highlights were swing passes to RB (Pead & Richardson)
Player observations:
• Ray Ray Armstrong took all his reps with 2nd unit.
• Will Witherspoon looks like he can still really play.
• Matt Conrath has bulked up, and looks much stronger inside.
• M.I.A. = Chris Givens ….. he had a few catches on some quick “comeback” routes, but overall, has not showed up like someone who is supposed to be the #1 returning WR. Jenkins continues to blanket him.
• Michael Brockers is virtually unblockable.
• Cody Davis looked good at Safety.. taking reps with 2’s AND 3’s (in place of Giordano)
• Jake Long is handling everything Robert Quinn and throw at him. He looks so much better in pads.
