*Note don't expect a good detail report. I do not take notes. I just observe*
*Also note that basing what a irrelevant poster perceived during practice does in no way has meaningful implications on how the season will play out*
Likes:
- The defensive line. This group gets a lot of hype. In practice they showed they deserve the hype. Quinn looks great. Long looks great as well.
- The defense plays with an edge. I have high hopes for this unit. Great intensity.
- Tavon Austin. He lined up outside quite a bit. He is hard to cover in space. You would think it would be easy for corners to jam such a small guy, but you can't hit what you can't touch. I think they have a much better idea on how to use him. I expect big things from Austin in 2014.
- Sucks Bailey is suspended. He has the look of a very good receiver.
- When you watch Jared Cook in practice you wonder how he hasn't been all-pro. So big, fluid, and athletic.
- I really liked what I saw from Kendricks. Guy is solid and I think he is poised for a solid season.
- Outside 2 deep passes to Austin, one which the defense was all over him, Bradford looked good. Good zip on his passes. By week 1 I think the rust will be off and we will see the 2013 Bradford.
The Bad:
- Kenny Britt. He has catching issues. Not a hands catcher. Ball gets into his body.
- Brian Quick, had a drop, which isn't a big deal. But he didn't compete on an under thrown deep pass on one on one drills. I want him to be more aggressive. He didn't necessarily have a bad practice, but I want more from this guy.
- The offensive line. They aren't in pads and are without their LT. But man do the OTs get beat quickly by the DEs, granted they are two of the best in the game.
Random notes:
-Robinson got a lot of work at LT. Some criticize this, I don't. First you drafted him long term to be your LT. Get him some development time there. Also the chance to go against Quinn will only help him.
- Garrett Gilbert got a lot of time with the 2s. Didn't look bad out there
