I made my way to practice this morning. It was a good practice, 2+ hours.
#81 Chaz looks really good. He is a large guy, long arms, catches well.
Who knew that #27 Peters is a long snapper. He was zinging balls to the punters. He was huge at Will LB as well.........nice pick 6 at the end of practice.
Hurl was really coaching up some rookies on special teams stuff. Nice to see a 3rd yr guy assert himself a little.
Could not watch the big fellas too much. But they were going hard.
Returners........lots. Matt Brown #9, Mini Dressler Smith #2, #24.............all looked sure handed. Matt Brown looks like a Jock Saunders clone...........they are very close in size and body type as well as quickness.
#2...............well if it looks like Dressler, tries hard like Dressler, catches like Dressler......... when you see this kid live you won't blame me for calling him mini Dressler. Stick a #7 on his jersey and you'd sweat it is Weston. Quick indeed and work ethic is there.
A fullback......I forget who, absoutley crushed a blitzing Mortty Ivy in full skeleton. Blew Ivy right up and the coaches loved it. As for Linebackers..........watch Peters, Ivy, Kilgore...........they are all fast. Another one is Brandon Isaac who we know has 4-5 yeard experience.........he looked like he belongs.
Lots of DB's...............as for rookies #14 was beat a few times but he recovered and knocked away some balls. He must be fast to recoever like that or maybe the ball was underthrown..........but he looked beat and recovered.
I will send updates as I get to TC.
