1. With the Orlando Scandrick injury, there are a couple of different ways that this defense will play in his absence. It is likely that Morris Claiborne will get the first shot to start, with Tyler Patmon and Byron Jones getting the next looks. If Claiborne struggles with the assignment, then Patmon could be the starter there -- but also handle the slot role with Jones on the outside. My feeling is they will likely keep Corey White on the left side behind Brandon Carr and save him for when the defense plays dime.
2. It was unfortunate looking back on the play in which Scandrick was injured and the way it happened. Scandrick was just reacting to what he saw developing on the route and was attempting to help J.J. Wilcox, who lost Lucky Whitehead up the field. Scandrick dropped his cover and arrived in anawkward position as Whitehead made the reception. His knee was likely injured when he planted his right foot but suffered further damage when Whitehead fell into it.
3. I finally saw a big day from Greg Hardy at practice on Tuesday. As good as he has been helping others find their way to the quarterback, he was getting their on his own. His pass rush appeared more in line to what I had scouted when he was with the Panthers. His technique was outstanding and his effort was relentless. In the blitz period, he was able to knock a pass down that would have been a sure catch by Cole Beasley on a slant. Hardy was able to beat Travis Frederick up the field and with perfect timing put his hand up to make the play.
4. We’re starting to see Geoff Swaim get more work with the first offense in that role that James Hanna had as an inline blocker at the point of attack. There were several snaps where Swaim was along the line while Jason Witten played as the wing or "H.” As I mentioned before, Swaim is more of a “get in the way” blocker than he is as guy that is going to get movement at the point. His effort and willingness to do the job are good, but there are moments where you see lack of technique and strength.
5. It appears that it's A.J. Jenkins’ week to make plays for this receiving crew. It's been a trend for each of these receivers to have a few good practices and then a good game.
