I got to watch 5 days of practice: so here goes my observations
Looks like another solid draft: Carpenter looks good,great feet,has a knack for the ball and covers well.
Fasano looks good,very good hands, runs good routes and works hard
Skylar green has quick feet,runs nice routes,now if he could just catch the ball more often. BP was screaming at him at weds. morning practice for not knowing where to line up.
Pat watkins has a nose for the ball, was in a couple of times in the carolina set def. with the first team on tues for Davis. He's so tall and skinny so he looks a little akward going through the drills.
Hatcher seems to be quick enough off the corner,just looks like he needs to get stronger, he looked better with each practice.
For the rest I will get to those.
For the offense, the QB look out of sync with the WR's. I dont think any of the QB's have looked very good so far
JJ looks to be cutting good, with good quickness, and it dont hurt he is built like a brick house
MB looks the same,although he struggled in Pass protection on tues
The WR's look good as a group, they all seem to be running good routes, showing good speed, Crayton caught my eye as being stronger and quicker and was catching everything in sight until tues and weds when he dropped 3 balls. I joked with him that I never seen him drop that many all year.
The TE position is set,again good routes,good hands, Witten looks good, and Fasano has made some eye dropping catches so far.
Now the Oline....... Wow I hope things get better because right now it dont look good. The run blocking looks ok, but the pass protection is bad.
Gurode has actually looked the best to me. Johnson has been getting manhandled by Ratliff/Stanley/ferg. In one particular pass protection drill he was beat and called for holding 3 times. Gurode has been working now exclusively with the first team.
Flo looks slow out of his stance and appears to be hobbeling a bit, Demarcus beat him a couple of times in practice.
Rivera looks like the best is behind him
Kosier looks ok, nothing special
Rob P looks stronger but still has trouble with the speed rush
Now for the TO outburst at yesterdays Practice
First at tues practice you could see BP jawing at TO as he was walking to the sidelines,TO turned and ran back on the field.
Now for the weds morning practice: TO runs a fly pattern and has Henry by a
step and Bledsoe underthrows him and Henry knocks it down. So T.O. comes to the sidelines and throws his hands up,not the firt time I seen him do this.
So T.O. goes back out 2 plays later and runs a great pattern and looses Henry and Bledsoe dumps it off. So OWENS COMES TO THE SIDELINES AND RIPS HIS HELMET OFF AND THROWS IT 20 YDS, after a alone tantrum, Bledsoe pats him on the rear and T.O. starts talking to JJ.
So far Bledsoe has undertrown him on a couple of occassions and he has not looked happy in his body motions. Stay TUNED: The defense will come later along with pics.
Many thanks to Cali for advise and overall it was a good time
