3 rds of DB drills & not 1 dropped ball. Scott looks precarious in both punt return & pass drills. Couple of drops & even more bobbled catches. Nerves maybe?

I believe this is the first time I’ve seen mention of what Davenport’s ailment is. “Pulled groin”... Lord we don’t have luck with the groin injury diagnosis so hopefully this is benign.

And the reason for that previous statement is that we will be running a lot of nickel, half CB-nickel (Robinson), half S(Heavy)-nickel (Bell)...

And that's why those linebackers will be the two in there the most...

Outside linebackers will have most of the responsibility for the flats, shifted from the cornerbacks...

League is a 60/40 passing league now and the nickel is essentially the base package now...

Because of Davis' and Anzalone's speed, they will cover running backs, even slot receivers coming their way in motion, out in those flats...

The CBs are basically staying back, knocking down the long throws...

That’s all I needed to know. Let’s go!

Is it online anywhere? Looks like the soonest I can see it on tv is 4:30 AM Sunday. And as far as the rain goes, send it out here! We just finish with our own 55,000 acre fire and now we're being blanketed with smoke from California 1200 mile west.
