Watched Ambar and Broaddus on Periscope:

  • LVE injured his ankle and sat out today. Supposedly minor.
  • Lewis is still playing with 2nd team. Brown doing 1st team. Broaddus thinks Lewis has to do some work to convince Richard he can start despite being shorter. Says he missed on a play against Allen Hurns today by not quite being long enough to reach the ball.
  • Rico had a chance to make a play at the goal line but got the ball ripped from him.
  • Jaylon has played well, and March-Lillard is doing a good job.
  • Lewis Neal has a hamstring issue.
  • Broaddus says Byron Jones has looked good. Kelly is moving back to safety for now.
  • Marquez White has made some plays.
  • Broaddus said Mike White didn’t have a good practice yesterday, and missed throws. He did a little better today, but Broaddus says he has to figure out how to get the ball out quicker.
  • Broaddus says his biggest standout from all of OTAs has been Jihad Ward. Says that trade may prove valuable. Says he’s given even Travis Frederick problems when he lines up 1T.
  • Conner Williams needs to add more strength and muscle to help him win some match-ups, as he often overextends when he gets beaten by strength.
  • Ambar notes the team mood and atmosphere has been positive compared to previous years around this time.
  • They both said Taco looks better and is using technique more. Dorance Armstrong is still trying to beat La’el with athleticism and not technique, like Taco did last year, to poor results.

Jihad is a pleasant surprise.
Have said Connor would need work.
DB is going to include very very tough cuts. We are loaded with talent but few have the experience.
LB most injury prone position.

They said thing about the DBs, and the WRs. Broaddus said if he had to pick a side, the DBs have done a bit better than the WRs.

This team is young but can be awesome with great coaching. Wards size looks like David Irving. Irving may have some competition. We need our corners to take that next level. We need guys like Jones to be able to carry across field. Jones is a lock down corner I'd he can carry across the field as well as Awuzie. C Williams needs to get ready because we are in a division where the d tackles have abilities strength and size and he will be considered the weakest link. We don't want to rush him buy he needs to stay focused and work hard. I'm pulling for guys like Tavon Austin and Blake jarwin and Rico. We have tons of potential but they need to show the coaches they can do what needs to be done or what the coaches ask

Tavon scored a touchdown from Dak today. His first time playing with the first team, at least while the media watched.

Connor seems to be physically more ready to play OT rather than guard. Getting the most out of these players may mean flipping Collins and Connor. Doubt they do it, but maybe they should.
