KRL Camp Notes (8/2/15)


KRL

Recommended Posts

General Notes
 
- Players in full pads
 
- Practice runs 2 hours and 20 minutes
 
- It was Alumni Day so there were a ton of former Jets around
signing autographs.  Westhoff was there also doing work for SNY
 
- Kevin Vickerson, Stevan Ridley, Charles Brown and Devier Posey
were out.  Posey has not been noticeable, with Chris Owusu stepping
up he needs to get back on the field
 
- A new WR was signed he was wearing #1.  Come to find out his name
was Jarrod West.  From his first practice he won't be around long,
too many drops
 
- Bobby April (ST coach) went over blocking kicks in the special 
teams period.  Using an elaborate set of cones he had them simulating
blocks from different angles.  April had them running 4 at a time to
increase reps
 
- No pushups today so I guess there was no winner in the competition
period
 
- With a day off tomorrow Bowles increased the reps of the younger
players
 
- This isn't "sexy" but I've noticed that the communication of calls
amoung the defense is very clean.  When the offense changes a look
everyone on defense is being vocal making sure everyone knows the new
call
 
- Defense really clamped down on the passing game particularly in the
red zone drills
 
 
Player Notes
 
- 1 on 1 drills today (WR vs. CB) and (TE & RB vs. LB & S) the
higlights were:
 
  * Brandon Marshall against Darrelle Revis was a regular season battle.
    Very physical, Revis got the better of the reps but Marshall
    was able to get a TD and draw a flag
  * Marcus Williams with a nice INT
  * Shaq Evans continues to be solid with a TD
  * Good coverage from Buster Skrine
  * Chris Owusu continues his solid play
  * Bad drops by Jeff Cumberland and Wes Saxton
  * Marshall schooled Dexter McDougle by abusing him when he tried 
    to press and getting an easy TD
 
- Leonard Williams had his best day today with 2 "sacks" and a tackle
for loss during 11 on 11 drills
 
- Not a good day for the TE's trying to fill out the roster.  Cumberland
and Saxton had bad drops and Kellen Davis continues to show why he never
got balls thrown to him.  Very shaky hands
 
- IK Enemkpali continues to impress in his reps.  He had a "sack" of
Ryan Fitzpatrick and a tackle for loss of Daryl Richardson.  Bowles/Rodgers
has him flipping between DE & OLB
 
- Calvin Pryor finally appeared today as the defense brought pressure
from the secondary.  He had one "sack" and flushed Fitzpatrick out of the
pocket for an incompletion
 
- Taiwan Jones continued to show good instincts in the run game by creating
two tackles for loss
 
- Marcus Williams in addition to his INT in 1 on 1 drills had excellent 
coverage on Jeremy Kerley during 11 on 11
 
 
QB Notes
 
- Geno Smith had another solid day.  Continuing to make good decisions on
when to throw and when NOT to throw it.  His best plays where a 15 yard
out to Marshall through tight Revis coverage.  And a 30+ yard seam pass
to Eric Decker over tight Marcus Gilchrist coverage
 
- Fitzpatrick was better than yesterday (that's not saying much) as he
cleaned up his multiple ball handling mistakes.  His arm strength outside
the numbers is shaky
 
- Good development day for Bryce Petty.  He got extended reps at the end
of practice and had nice passes to Quincy Enunwa (25+ yards) and Walter
Powell (35+ yard TD)
 
 
Standouts
 
- Leonard Williams
- IK Enemkpali
- Taiwan Jones
- Marcus Williams

Great stuff as always KRL.

How is Kacy Rodgers out there? Is he a yeller? Bowles is so mild-mannered I wondered if Rodgers was more of a disciplinarian

 

At this point he is calling the defensive plays.  He's mild mannered but if a mistake is made he becomes a "yeller"

IKE shows up every day in your reports. Leonard Williams seems to showing why he was best pick of the draft. Jets may have another winner here. Let's hope he keeps his head straight. Geno appears to be better so far. Against this D that is a good sign.

Hope that you enjoyed the sunshine. Thanks for the updates KRL.

Thx KRL ... With all those sacks & TFL did you notice if any were due to pressure up the middle? If so by any chance notice who was in at RG? ... Or just more in general did anything jump out at you regarding the rotation at 1's for RG to distinguish any of them good or bad today?

The part about the defensive communication is a great tidbit. This early after installing a new system, that is great to hear/see.

I haven't really seen this said in any particular terms, but it sounds like there is acertain crispness with the offense so far as well. At least more crispness from Geno than may have been anticipated with a new system going on.

Thanks again KRL.

With IK getting reps and getting noticed, does Babin (who has not been mentioned ONCE all of TC) make the final roster? He's in the last year of a 2 yr deal at age 34/35 with IK and a (IMO) promising Reilly at OLB who are both younger & cheaper.

Speaking of which, any Trevor Reilly sightings?

TE Kellen Davis was signed for blocking and, despite the early compliments on Amaro's improved blocking, I hope he sticks as that blocking TE we haven't had since Hartstock in '09.

I'd like to see Babin & Pace cut so we have a better chance of landing Evans. It's time to turn to the youngins.

Maybe keep Pace?

I'm not a fan of the one dimensional Babin at all.

Disciplinarian.

Agree on the OLBs, if the young guys can step up it really would be huge. Seems like IK gets mentioned every day.

Disagree on the TEs. I hate "blocking TEs." If the play requires a sixth or seventh man in to block, I'd prefer they just trot out another lineman and have him declare himself eligible if the TE who would be standing there can't catch, either. Same thing with FBs who don't do anything else. I'd rather plug Sheldon Richardson in there.

Thanks for these well written reports again. Curious anyone at guard position stand out or seem better than the others.

 

The RG position is totally up for grabs between Colon, Winters & Qvale.  Based on the body structures

of those three it would seem the staff wants a physical mauler and not someone like Aboushi.  I would

say I've been pleasantly surprised by James Carpenter.  Very mobile and a nice ability to pull, it also

seemed like he and Brick had good chemistry

Would Dozier fit in there too?  I mean as far as body-type goes?  I have not heard mention of him since they were dicking around with him at C in mini-camp.  Was wondering about Aboushi I read somewhere (maybe from you) that he was getting smacked around with the 2nd team, but since it was by Richardson it didn't seem like a death sentence.

I would think Dozier would fit there but for now he's still playing center

He has to be a lock to make the team though. Have to at least have one TE who can block.

Think it has to be a roster spot between Cumberland and Saxton

 

I don't know that he is that good as a blocker and he is looking to be a deteriorating receiving option.  Considering his lack of catches and targets lately that has to be tough to pull off

call
 

 

 

Just wondering what you make of this?  Is this a style thing - where everybody is vocal vs. one guy making calls?  A communication thing - where everybody knows what they are doing now whereas maybe they didn't in the past?  An early camp thing - where everybody is just showing they know what is going on, but they might keep their mouths shut during the regular season?  Based on what I read from Bowles about the lack of INTs, he seemed to respond by saying it is early we are just installing the D and making sure everybody knows where to be.
