I spent more time watching the defense today than the previous two days and took some notes:
- Safties:
- Spent a lot of time today working on shedding blocks, nothing to major of note here
- Outside linebacker
- Worked a lot on getting off the ball quickly from a two-point stance
- Kevin Kane spent a lot of time teaching techniques with hand placement and ripping through a block with everyone
- Isaiah Gay wasn't going through drills when I watched, but he didn't look hurt
- He was talking with a woman and a gentleman on the sideline, but again didn't look hurt
- Shammond Cooper looks small at OLB
- He needs to be on the field because he is good enough to get on the field at this point but I don't think OLB looks like a long-term solution
- Defensive tackle:
- Keith Randolph is in really good shape
- Rod PErry's feet and hands look pretty quick
- Verdis Brown is still getting some of his technique back, mostly with his hand placement
- Terrance Jamison was on Calvin Avery for his pad level being too high
- Johnny Newton hits a sled really hard
- Terrance Jamison was on Sedarious McConnell about using his feet to drive into the sled more
- Offensive line:
- Bart Miller as I was leaving: "Let's dominate this fu*king line of scrimmage all fu*king day"
- His boys like playing for him, it's clear in the way they respond to him and the energy in that group
- Bart Miller as I was leaving: "Let's dominate this fu*king line of scrimmage all fu*king day"
- Tight End"
- Luke Ford was back at practice today
