* Liked what I saw from rookie FB Shaun Chapas as a pass catcher, reaching out for one pass, but he needs to keep his feet moving when he engages as a blocker.

OLB Victor Butler (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12641) struggled in coverage in his first two years, but he had two pass breakups in 7-on-7 drills on passes to TE John Phillips (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12550) and Chapas. Butler also had a would-be sack

Once again Victor Butler just keeps making plays.

I see that in the kicker battle the rookie went 4 for 4 today. Beuhler went 3 for 4.

Not a big difference, but they kicked 5 each. Bailey made all of his but his 35-yarder banked in, Buehler was 4-5 missing his 35-yarder.

* Defensive linemen have been told to get their hands up in the passing lanes if they can’t get to the quarterback. Jay Ratliff (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8638) batted down a ball, as did Sean Lissemore (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=13406).

I was wondering when this revelation would occur.

Finally.

Hoping for lifting of the ban on the spin move next!

* Rookie WR Dwayne Harris had a "Welcome to the NFL" moment when a Tony Romo bullet on a slant went through his hands. Later, he was quick to grab a slant from Jon Kitna.

* At one point, all three inside linebackers -- Keith Brooking, Bradie James, Sean Lee -- were on the field at the same time.

* OLB Victor Butler struggled in coverage in his first two years, but he had two pass breakups in 7-on-7 drills on passes to TE John Phillips and Chapas. Butler also had a would-be sack...

Maybe somebody turned his light on. Or maybe he's been saving himself for this year. Anyway, he would be a welcome improvement if he continues.

IF the light finally came on for Butler in everything else besides pass rushing then Spencer better be ready.

Rob Ryan will be aggressive.
That is really I needed to read.

I LOVE it.

I LOVE it.

Me too. That IS defense.:star:

[Nightshade]

I've got high hopes for Butler. I hope he gets a fair shot. He's a playmaker with a great work ethic. More power to him.
