Camp 2007: MasterRWayne and the Defense 8/6/207

So I was at camp today and I have to say that JDB has done a great job of scouting the defense for us. After reading his report I must have been standing next to him because I watched the DB and linebacker drills. I agree 100% with his analysis and I will add a few things that I noticed as well.

First, I was very impressed by Freddie K. The guy may be a bit small, but he is extremely fast and always around the ball. That I expected, but I was surprised at how good he is at catching the football. The guy really caught everything thrown his way during the drills. Rocky Boiman, on the other hand, dropped quite a few.

I was also impressed with the DB drills. Everyone was doing a good job catching the ball and Bethea showed some serious leaping ability. He did drop an easy pass right next to me and I heard him mumble, "God damnit." I got a laugh out of that.

As for our other young DB's I was very impressed with them in the scrimmage. I saw very tight coverage by Tim Jennings (who also has some serious speed) and as JDB mentioned Dante Hughes had several big plays, and man can that guy hit! I watched Michael Coe a great deal and I saw some good coverage by him against Reggie Wayne. However, later on I saw Wayne get some separation against him several times so he didn't finish as strong as he started.

Overall, I have to say that I was happy with our LB's and I was ecstatic at how well our DB's played. I didn't spend much time watching the D-line, but we obviously have concerns at defensive tackle.

hah
yeah we must have both been right there. I bounced between both fields but spent the second half of practice in the main stands for the 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills.

Did I really see Gonzo doing some punt return drills down there?

I echo your thoughts, LBs looked pretty good, DBs looked GREAT. I didn't really watch the DTs much but the McFarland news alone is enough for me to agree with you there.

Maybe we can just sign a Sumo Wrestler and plop him down in the middle. Just say "don't move. if someone comes at you pretend they are a pork roast."? heh

Hopefully I'll meet up with you two tomorrow and we can compare some notes.
