I spent most of my time watching A.J. Hawk so I'm not going to be too in depth on everything else. I'll just give a quick run down of the good and bad.
Ferg dropped what could have been a nice catch
Driver had a couple nice catches. On one, he was running a deep pattern and the ball was thrown almost perfectly. He jumped up over coverage and caught the ball perfectly at the top of his stride.
Ruvell Martin had a nice day. He caught one pretty tough intermediate pass that was just on his tips. He had several rutine catches but he rarely drops the ball.
Cory Rodgers had his first day without dropping punts. I guess that's a good thing. Ferg was still his usualy butterfinger self.
They were punting from the 40 with wind at their backs. Many of Ryan's punts sailed the 60 yds into the endzone. Sander was putting them on the 10 pretty consistantly. Sander looked better if it was a game.
Green is a workaholic. He streches all practice long. He'll recover. The guy just plain works.
Hodge was starting at MLB And looked pretty good. It's tough to tell without pads of course and most of my focus was on Hawk.
Carroll looked good again. He almost picked a bullet from Favre.
Winston Moss spent alot of individual time with Hawk. He basically stood next to him while the defense was working individually and instructed him where to be and what to do. When Hawk lined up for 11 on 11's, he looked pretty sure of himself for being his first day. He has an amazing knack for chasing down a play without breaking containment. He pretty much looks liek the same player we saw on tape. He appears to follow his assignments well and as soon as the ball moves, he is moving in that direction. He looked strong and fast. There isn't much to report because there was no tackling, but he seemed to have a good sense for containment.
Thats pretty much everthing. Wist would have loved it becuase it was Hawk - Hodge - Taylor starting with Barnett away. They looked like a tough group with Collins and Manuel behind them. Can't see much without hitting though. It will be nice when preseason games start and we get to see Hawk rip and tear like he did at OSU.
