KRL Camp Notes (7/28/16)


KRL

Recommended Posts

First off before I get started credit to Phil Sullivan and Glenn Naughton for allowing me to
represent the site at a closed practice.  Here are my initial impressions, sorry it took so
long NYC traffic stinks:


General Notes 

- Players in shells & shorts

- Practice ran 2.5 hours

- Don't know if the turf is new but there was a ton of slipping which affected WR's and CB's
throughout the day

- It seems like Tom Hackett the UDFA punter was released to make room for Fitzpatrick so there
will be no "punt off" with Lachlan Edwards

- Speaking of Edwards he has an impressive leg and good directional ability.  But has to work
on his consistency, which is to be expected from a rookie

- Brant Boyer our new STC has implemented a three station coverage drill.  Where in each station
he works with 2-3 players individually to beat blocks and strip the ball out before they move
to the next station

- Boyer has also worked on improving communication in special teams.  This was evident when he
would randomly move buckets (which simulate an opponent) around and expect the everyone to know
what adjustment they should make

- Since I was on the sideline I didn't have a good vertical view of the middle of the OLine &
DLine.  So I won't comment on the big guys in the middle, that will change on Saturday & Sunday
when I'll be in the stands

- There was a ton of mixing and matching so there are no clear cut #1's yet

- Revis, Forte and Carpenter dressed but didn't see action.  Also I didn't see Giacomini

- Wilkerson and Devin Smith were dressed but watched from the sidelines

- Bowles already has the team working on situational football.  Today there was a 3rd
down period and a red zone period


Player Notes

- Marshall & Decker where in mid-season form.  Marshall was making "stupid" one-handed catches
like they where no big deal

- Pleasantly surprised by the play of the young CB's today.  Juston Burris, Dexter McDougle and
yes Dee Milliner were all impressive.  For someone so big Burris had better coverage skills than
I expected.  McDougle was physical in coverage and had two INT's of Fitzpatrick.  And Milliner
flashed the ability that made him a top 10 pick.  He also showed good awareness by stripping out
the ball from Robby Anderson (WR) causing a fumble.  The big question is can he stay on the field?

- Nice first impressions made by two young WR's, Robby Anderson and Jalin Marshall.  Anderson's
problem is his lower body, his legs look like pencils. But he gets open and isn't afraid to go
over the middle.  Marshall gives off a "Chrebet vibe" where whenever it's 3rd down he seems to
be open and makes a catch

- Jordan Jenkins had a nice first day showing impressive athletic ability when he picked off
Fitzpatrick.  He dropped into coverage tipped the ball in the air and then made the INT

- The Canadian import Freddie Bishop had a rough day.  Getting caught out of position on a couple
of run plays and hearing it from his position coach


QB's

- I won't savage him but Fitzpatrick had a bad day.  He threw at least 3 INT's, fumbled a snap,
threw to no one on one occasion and turned the wrong way on a running play.  He needs to make up
for all the time he missed

- Smith was solid, what was good to see was he was doing the "little things".  Like using his voice
to get the defense to jump offsides and looking to one side of the field before throwing to the 
other

- Petty was up and down.  He made some nice throws but he was also picked off by Rontez Miles and
Deon Simon (NT) off of a tip by Claude Pelon (DE)

- Hackenberg shows the raw elements on why you would draft him but he's not ready.  He wasn't
throwing as wild high as was previously reported but he still has misreads which is to be expected


Daily Standouts

- Juston Burris
- Dee Milliner
- Dexter McDougle
- Marshall & Decker
- Jalin Marshall
- Jordan Jenkins

First off before I get started credit to Phil Sullivan and Glenn Naughton for allowing me to represent the site at a closed practice.  Here are my initial impressions, sorry it took so long NYC traffic stinks:

General Notes 

– Players in shells & shorts.

– Practice ran 2.5 hours.

– Don’t know if the turf is new but there was a ton of slipping which affected WR’s and CB’s throughout the day.

– It seems like Tom Hackett the UDFA punter was released to make room for Fitzpatrick so there will be no “punt off” with Lachlan Edwards.

– Speaking of Edwards he has an impressive leg and good directional ability.  But has to work on his consistency, which is to be expected from a rookie.

Not to be that guy, but how did Amaro look?

Just my .02 from what I saw of Amaro...he looked like he'd toned up a bit but that's going off of memory from when we last saw him play.  I could be wrong about him having dropped some weigh, but possible if they don't intend to use him in-line much which wouldn't be much of a surprise.

He had one drop that from my perspective, looked like an errant throw from Fitz.  A catchable ball but I thought it was off target.  I saw Costello tweet about it and say it was a good pass from Fitz, bad drop by Amaro.  Keep in mind, he may have had the better view as he was down by the far right end of the field, whereas I was closer to the 40 yd line so they play happened in front of me but with Amaro facing away from me.  I assumed bad throw because it looked like he gave it a pretty good lunge to get to it.  Costello said otherwise from where he was watching.

Amaro was on the receiving end of one of Geno's best passes of the day IMO.  With Amaro streaking up the left seam, Geno hit him perfectly in stride with a laser.  I saw some tweets about Geno hitting on some deep passes while I was on the other end of the field watching the RB's but his throw to Amaro was definitely the best one I saw.

Thx. Saw a pic of him and he looked noticeably thinner/cut.
