KRL Camp Notes (8/1/15)


KRL

Recommended Posts

General Notes
 
- First day in full pads
 
- Practice ran for 2.5 hours
 
- Willie Colon was full go and took reps with the #1 OLine
at RG.  Kevin Vickerson and Stevan Ridley are still out
 
- Jace Amaro "tweaked" his knee in drills against "air".  It
looked serious because he spiked the ball in anger but he
shook it off and participated in the rest of practice
 
- Maccagnan made an appearance with his ever present Starbucks
cup
 
- Bowles concentrated on the offense particularly when Gailey
was going over blitz pickup
 
- Offensive emphasis was on the running game today  
 
- Offense won the competition period today because the defense
did pushups at the end of practice
 
 
Player Notes
 
- With the pads on 1 on 1 blocking drills made an appearance.
Standouts were:
 
  * Demario Davis, blowing up anyone during his reps
  * Quincy Enunwa
  * Jace Amaro, improved blocker who controls the defender well
    once he gets his hands on them 
  * Jeff Cumberland, not as hideous as years past
  * IK Enemkpali, violent bull rusher
  * Darrelle Revis, delivered blows so hard you thought a LB 
    delivered them
  * Wes Saxton, much better than his scouting report, functional
  * Taiwan Jones, delivered blows like an ILB should
 
- Good jobs by a couple of UDFA's today Wes Saxton, Taiwan Jones
and Julian Howsare.  Saxton's blocking was good and he's caught
everything.  Jones was excellent in run defense today.  And 
Howsare got a "sack" of Ryan Fitzpatrick during 11 on 11's
 
- This isn't sexy but there should be a legitimate battle at
punter.  Jacob Schum showed good leg strength and if he can be
more consistent than Ryan (Sir-Shanksalot) Quigley I would
keep him 
 
- Dee Milliner was full go today and looked good during his reps.
His best play was a breakup of a 30+ yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick
to Walter Powell
 
- We started to see the Bowles multiple safety looks from ARZ today.
On some dime looks we had 3 CB's and 3 S's (Marcus Gilchrist,
Calvin Pryor & Antonio Allen)
 
- Solid day for Gilchrist supported the run well and decent in
coverage
 
- Rontez Miles had a couple of big hits during 9 on 7 running drills
 
- More interesting formations from Gailey, today he deployed Eric
Decker & Brandon Marshall in double slots in a 4 WR set
 
- With Devin Smith out Chris Owusu & TJ Graham are getting more
reps.  Owusu had a nice 35+ yard catch from Geno Smith over Cro.
And Graham had a tough juggling catch over Revis during red zone
drills
 
- During 11 on 11 drills Bryce Petty hooked up with Quincy Enunwa
on a 40+ yard TD over Dexter McDougle
 
- Leonard Williams showed his ability to anchor against the run
today.  Was able to hold his ground even when double teamed
 
 
QB Notes
 
- Geno Smith continued his good play.  He had multiple TD's during
7 on 7 and red zone drills.  His best play was getting the defense
to show their blitz, checking out of the play and hitting Owusu
for a 35+ yard catch over Cro that I mentioned before.  His
chemistry/communication with Marshall is excellent.  In one instance
when the defense took away an inside route Smith threw a back 
shoulder throw and Marshall seemed to "expect it"
 
- Fitzpatrick had his solid moments but for a vet whose been in this
offense he was too sloppy.  Twice he fumble snaps from center and
once he turned the wrong way on a handoff and the RB wasn't there
 
 
Standouts
 
- Geno Smith
- Chris Owusu
- Brandon Marshall
- Marcus Gilchrist
- Taiwan Jones
- Leonard Williams

what's great to read is so many young guys improving.  i'm curious to know how the OL position battles are going.

 

I agree.  The only up side to smith getting hurt is that Owusu , who I like is going to get a  Lot more reps to show if can consistently do it.

 

Great job as always KRL

+1

With Colon back out there at RG rotating in with Winters & Qvale did you have a chance to notice anything standing out (either good or bad) for any of them?

Great stuff as always!

Interesting to hear Revis busting it up in run game/blocking drills ... He's soo good in coverage & tackling I guess I never even think about him up in run support, lol

I would be excited about your Geno Smith perspective except I remember you saying the same things about him last year at this time.

 

I write what I see.  If a player does well in camp/pre-season (like Smith did last year) and then stinks in the regular

season, I don't control that

At this point it's a three way battle at RG between Qvale, Winters & Colon.  I haven't seen

any protection breakdowns up the middle yet

KRL is reporting what he sees. It's not perspective, or an agenda, it's reporting by a fan. Perhaps GFY

Excited about Saxton, Tawain Jones news, two sleepers I loved when signed.

 

KRL, is Jones the #3 MLB at this point who do you sense rolls up behind Harris and Davis?  I think the LB position doesn't get talked about enough, a lot of transition in camp this year, both youth and vet players like Erin Henderson.  The Howsware update was interesting.

 

Love the IK news as well, I think Pace and Babin are redundant, 1 of the 2 make the team, any additional feedback on the position?

 

Love the Owusu news, TJ Graham could be a surprise player for us this year.  Seems Evans, Owusu and maybe Graham are the next 3 WR's after Marshall and Decker.  I think Owusu could be an emerging player.

 

How about NT?  Who is playing behind Harrison?  Is it TJ Barnes?   What about the kid Deon Simon, and the big kid Walls?

The biggest offensive change I've seen so far is how Gailey deploys our "big WR's" (Decker

and Marshall) into slot WR positions.  Usually you expect to see small shifty players inside

(Welker, Edelman) but Gailey likes to "flip the script"

What were you watching here? I was there and most of the pressures and every would be sacks except two (Coples and Skrine) came from up the middle. How do you explain Mac reaching out to Mathis after practice today?

You know it's camp time when KRL delivers one of his stellar reports. Thanks.

Are the pace and organization of practice noticeably different from Rex's camp? Is Bowles more noticeable at camp compared to what we hear? Seems like he is but...

Mac didnt reach out to Mathis after practice, he was asked during his press conference before practice if he had contacted him in anyway and Mac acknowledge that the team did talk to him, but nothing was imminent, it is not a priority for the team right now.

I didn't see it was after since I was at practice, but that doesn't change the fact that our inside protection besides Mangold is sh*t. There was still a lot of pressure up the middle.

And the first pads training camp practice shouldn't make us think that the team needs to go out and signed somebody
