August 1st:
-Today just reaffirmed what we already knew about the starters on the offensive line. Until someone stands out in a negative or positive way, it will be (from left to right): Taylor Lewan, Quinton Spain, Ben Jones, Chance Warmack, and Jack Conklin.
-An interesting note, for the first time Sebastian Tretola played left guard and Jeremiah Poutasi played right guard with the second team OL. I believe both had been swapped, or Tretola had been on third team. Either way, it is good that they are learning both spots because it means the fourth best interior lineman can be the backup for either position.
-Derrick Henry had a weird fumble yesterday and today it was his senior’s turn. DeMarco Murray had a weird hit at the line that caused the ball to pop loose, but these things happen on the first day of practice with pads.
He later made up for it with a nice run where he squeezed between a crack in the line to make a 3-yard gain a nice chunk play.
-Rishard Matthews continues to start, as does rookie sensation Tajae Sharpe with Kendall Wright as the clear starting slot receiver.
-The defensive backs all had really nice days in coverage. I assume that is because they can be rougher in transition with the pads their to hide the contact. I believe that Cody Riggs and Perrish Cox had the best days in that regard.
-Tajae Sharpe didn’t let the DBs get the best of him with the pads on. He started the day off by spinning around fellow rookie LeShaun Sims with a nice route, and by all accounts didn’t struggle at all after.
-Dorial Green-Beckham had a bounce-back day earning praise for a tough catch and a nice catch deep down the field.
-By all accounts Brian Orakpo looks really good. He had a nice speed rush that put him right in the path of DeMarco Murray before he pulled off, and he either caused and recovered, or just recovered the previously mentioned Murray fumble.
-David Bass made some nice plays for the second day in a row. That may be very big because rookie OLB Aaron Wallace had a nasty looking leg injury where he couldn’t put any weight on the leg and had to be helped off. It is unknown how bad the injury is.
-Ryan Succop struggled to get into rhythm missing his first two field goals before nailing the third.
– I think it is interesting and positive that there was no news on Jack Conklin today. Like he said in OTAs, when you hear an OL’s name called, it is generally a bad thing. The fact that in his first real practice, no one mentioned him getting beat despite having to go against Jurrell Casey and Derrick Morgan all day is a positive.
