Practice Report, Sunday, July 30th By Rafael Vela 5 Comments
Blog regular DonnyPosner report in. Take a bow, Donny,
I was at practice today and this is what I saw.
I’m not a scout and some things are difficult to see because they are on the far field, but my opinions may be interesting to some.
I noticed Pat Watkins first. He is tall. How could I not. He is also fluid with good hands.. In both 7-7 drills and 11-11, he got to the ball very quickly. He made several pics on 7-7 drills and made a great play stopping Keylon Kincade on a swing pass for no gain. He covers a lot of ground quickly. He looked like the best guy out there other then Keith Davis who also played well. Marcus Colemen split time between corner and Safety. He looked ok at corner but was slow diagnosing the play as a Safety.
Looking over at the far field, I saw Skyler Green running routes and dropping a pass. Only one that I saw though. Later he fielded punts and looked good doing that. He is a left handed QB for those that dont know.
TNewman looks great. He is far an away the best corner we have. Jacques Reeves looked like our second best corner on this day. He continually picked off passes in the 7-7 drills and played well in 11-11.
Jason Hatcher looks like he will be a good one. He is big, physical, and quick. He was getting to the would be QB in 1 on-1 and 2-on-2 drills. He did well against Flozell Adams on at least 2 occassions. Vontrell Jamison is a big guy as well. He looks like he can play but not sure he is in the top tier on the team. He beat McQuistan several times. Greg Ellis is playing standing up lining up close to the DE creating a 5 man line. He looked quick actually. I think he’ll make the transition and play well. Jay Ratliff looked good and beat Peterman on 2 occassions. Sam Taulealea pushed Al Johnson straight back to where the QB would be.
Yes. Flo was out there and was playing ok. He was definately the best tackle out there. As I said Hatcher did a good job against him but other then Hatcher he seemed to block everyone.
Other then Flo, Marc Columbo looked like the best tackle to me. He and Kevin Burnett got in a big fight which got the fans roaring asking for more and the players had to pull them off each other. McQuistan and Dennis Roland were getting beat often.
The best Offensive lineman on this day definately looked like Andre Gurode. I was one of those that thought that Al Johnson would beat him out but today Gurode looked really good. He seemed to stop all defensive lineman in their tracks. Johnson did not look as good and was getting pushed back at times and let a couple past him. Rivera looked to be the second best and played very well. Stephen Peterman would make a good block and then let someon past him. He seems to have the abiliy but is very inconsistent. Kyle Kosier did not stick out either way.
I noticed this linebacker number 53 making plays, he is big, and always seems to be around the ball. The guide at practice doesnt list the number. I think it is Kai Parham. He looked good. Very good actually.
Pepper Johnson and Mount Stanley both made some plays. Stanley was often using a 4 point stance with both hands on the ground. Ferguson is clearly better though and his battles vs Gurode were the best match ups to see.
Chris Canty is huge but he didnt seem to be impressive on this day. He got stonewalled by Gurode and Rivera.
Sean Ryan dropped several passes in 11-11 drills A couple hit him right in his hands and popped up in the air. I wanted to cut him then and there. Tony Curtis is big. I couldnt see his blocking but he made several good grabs. He did have a drop in 11-11n drills however. Anthony Fasano made a couple catches on 11-11.
Sam Hurd the rookie free agent WR almost blocked a punt. Number 10…not sure who he is may be Ahmed Merritt dropped more then a few passes. He is the ony other guy other then Sean Ryan that I would have cut after the day. Bad Day for those 2. Terrence Copper made some nice grabs in 11-11. Patrick Crayton looked good as well. Copper was suprsingly good.
Demarcus Ware was very impressive. He will be a Pro Bowler this year. I think Parcells must have goten to this guy and convinced him he could be LT. Watch out. He even impressed me covering TO on a crossing route. He was closer to getting the ball then TO. The crowd got on TO’s case saying he should be able to catch those, but Ware made a great play. He is quick around the edge.
Overall, Ware, Burnett, Parham, Tony Curtis, Gurode, Rivera, Hatcher, TNewman, and Pat Watkins impressed me the most.
Sean Ryan, Ahmed Merrit and Stephen Petermen were dissapointing
