Re: Just quick notices
My quick thoughts from last night ...
Cooks - is a special player that could turn in to a freak. Murphy - we all feel he may take it to the house on any given play. Coleman - would like to see him more with the 1's next week. Kikaha - he is a gamer and will improve every single day at practice. Once he polishes his technique.. watch out. Swann - I like the swagger - unafraid to take chances & is physical, good tackler. Colston - still shaking off the cobwebs but no doubt he will be fine. Brees - next question. |

Murphy - like you said, any time he touches the ball people are holding their breath, the guy is so quick and looks like he could go the distance at any point! |

Solid against bull rush.
A little better with a straight speed rush on the outside. Swim moves and those other quick counter moves made him look pretty silly out there to be honest. once that big tall body gets from under those feet he looks like a skyscraper swaying during an earthquake trying to block the quickness. just takes too long for him to recover. maybe after last week he focusing too much on the true speed rush and set himself up for the counter moves a bit too much. but he did not look as bad as he did in Baltimore. Too be honest he did not look that bad there either. upgrade from Harris without a doubt. Run blocking at the first level was great. he pushed people all around Run blocking at the second level was better but still needs work. he just seems slow to find his target at time. Looping his way to his assignment vs a more direct line. arriving a step or two too later to help the runner out. All in all I say he showed improvement across the board but still needs some more coaching up. baby stepping. |

Re: Just quick notices
I will tack on some of what I saw
- Drew is back, word of his demise has been GREATLY exaggerated(by Peter King) - Cooks would have been ROY if he hadn't broke his thumb last year(Can a WR win MVP honors) - Run defense is solid, they just need to work on wrapping up. Blount was stuffed in the backfield on multiple occasions and slipped through for no gain or 1-2 yards. - Defense is swarming to the ball. They looked like the Seattle team from 2013 - Ingram can catch! - We have no depth(offense or defense) |

Re: Just quick notices
CB Wilson looked decent as well. Gotta keep Pierre Warren.
Anyone miss Junior? | |
