Just got back from morning practice. Here is my report.
If you don't remember my reports from last year, here is my disclaimer. I am not a sports writer nor do I claim to be. I am not a scout, nor do I claim to be. I am just a fan. If you don't like my "report," then go to camp yourself and write your own.
ONE LINERS (or two, or three)
Spitz looks to have lost some weight around the mid-section.
Jon Ryan could have played Powder.
James Jones does catch the ball nicely but he certainly isn't a speedster.
Ruvell Martin is running much, much better then last year.
QB Thompson looks like he has some more upside then Martin.
Holiday dropped a pass, but it was slightly behind him. He caught everything else in sight. Looked good.
Hodge better be worried about Desmond Bishop taking his roster spot. He played very well.
Speaking of back-up LB's, Tim Goodwell was all over the field.
Just Harrell is a head taller then everyone other D-linemen. He is a BIG man.
Harrell played a little DE during 11 on 11s.
Dendy and Blackman started during 11 on 11s.
M. Manuel is still the starting SS. Rouse got very little reps.
A. Rodgers looked sloppy. He threw two near picks, that should have been int's, and then he did throw and int.
Hall looked good.
Brandon Jackson found a hole along the right side and took it for 15 before being touched.
The O line looked real good. It is difficult to tell with out pads, but I could see the difference from last year.
Favre was Favre. He still has it.
The back up punter Ryan Daugherety is kind of fat.
The FG kickers both sucked. Dave Rayner missed one by about 15 yards to the left.
Jarrett Bush looked good. Def. more physically gifted then Dendy.
No one spoke to Dendy during pre-practice warm-ups.
Donald Driver had his right knee wrapped in ice at the end of practice.
MM didnt join the team until about 9:15. Then, he let most of his coaches do the work. This was WAY different from last year. He is letting his coaches coach more this year. I have no idea if he was late, why he was late or if he was doing something along the sidelines and I didnt immediately see him.
Nick Barnett drives a jet black Range Rover with illegaly tinted windows.
Clowney looked fast on kick returns and on deep balls.
Bodiford had a bad drop.
AJ Hawk looks very comportable. He is so solidly built it is down right scary.
Rory Johnson did nothing on the field but was forced to get all the D-linemens "shells," smaller shoulder pads, before practice. He carried about 6 of them over to the vet. D-linemen. It was funny.
Half way through the practice, Hawk went behind the Don Hudson center. Not IN, but BEHIND. My guess, he had to take a piss.
Jason Spitz ran over Pat Murray during blocking drills. Murray ended up on his back and all his teammates were mocking him. Pretty embarassing.
The RB situation is scary. We are so thin. I can't believe TT hasn't added anyone yet.
STUDS AND DUDS
STUDS -
1. Nick Collins - Okay, Nick almost went in the DUDS area because he didn't hang with his teammates during the walk through period of practice. For about 20 minutes he stood by himself with a football and then started playing catch with Bigby. At one point, Lionel Washington told them to stop playing catch. HOWEVER, during 11 on 11's, Collins was all over the field. He certianly stood out. He is as physically gifted as any S in the league. He had some WOW plays. Manuel was no where to be seen.
2. Noah Herron - Mr. Dependable. I was never his biggest fan but his value as a 3rd down back is greater then ever right now. Assignment sure and always knows how to get open in the flat. I can't imagine him not making the team at this point. He picked up every blitzer and made a nice catch out of the back field that would have been a 20 yard gain in a game.
DUDS -
1. Aaron Rodgers - Damn, I thought this guy was getting it. I guess not. He was TERRIBLE today. He is lucky he didnt throw three picks today. Nothing that gained more then 10 yards and he was late almost every down. Favre, please don't EVER retire.
2. Brandon Jackson - Boy, the kid can run the ball but he can't figure out his assignments. During one play, he was suppose to run a pattern but instead ran towards Brett ready to get the ball. When Favre went past him, he just stood there looking at him. The play was stopped and Brett started pointing down field. I assume he was showing him the route he was suppose to run. Then, during 11 on 11's, he completely whiffed on a blitz pick up. The LB came from Favre's left and Jackson went to the right. By the time he realized his mistake, the LB was all over Brett. I know he is a rookie but damn. The light has to turn on sometime, right?
If I forgot something, I'll add it later. Hope you like it.
