Another light practice with no hitting. They were in shells and shoulder pads.
Practice started off with them doing walk throughs on the punt return making sure everyone know where they are supposed to be and what the depth chart was.
Then they went into a lengthy amount of time doing individual drills for each position. They were really stressing fundamentals and making them work hard. Was a lot of fun to watch. I keyed in the RB's.
Then they lined up in punt return again but were actually letting the gunners go after it against the guys on the outside. This was fun as hell to watch. Jamalle Cornellius and Demario Minter were the gunners and were lining up against DRC and Rolle at the LOS. Neither guy could get off the line against those two. They locked them down cold. I think the furthest they were by the time the punt was caught was 10 yards past the LOS. they were really taking it to them. Oliver Celestin and Ralph Brown were doing it on the other side and they were getting beat by pretty much any gunner that lined up on them.
Funniest part of the punt return drills IMO was me seeing these booming spiraling punts and thinking to myself "damn this guys good" I literally in my mind thought maybe our punting woes are solved. It took about ten minutes and the crowd on the field splitting so I could see that it was the machine shooting the ball that high and far.
What an idiot!
They broke out the 7 on 7 drills and rotated through the QB's. Leinart ended up being 4 for 7 with 3 TD's but missed wide open WR's in the endzone two times once to Pope and once to Fitz. He is definitely having accuracy issues at this point in camp.
Warner ended up being 5 for 7 with 3 TD's he probably should have had another TD if it wasnt just a fantastic play by Ralph Brown defending the ball in the corner endzone.
Pierre was 2 for 4 with 1 TD.
To end the practice they lined up O vs D and went at it. I have noticed that so far Leinart doesnt appear to be looking downfield and always taking the dump off. I take that with a grain of salt though since he only had about 5 plays. During Warners 5 plays he consistently threw the ball down field.
Jerhame Urban made an absolutely astounding circus catch on the sidelines during this and the crowd certainly showed their approval.
MISC:
Maybe its just me but Warner has always looked "chunky" in his uniform. He looks really slender this year and certainly looks like he has shedded several pounds.
Tim Hightower may not be fast per se but I can certainly see that burst that was talked about during draft time.
Antrelle Rolle has an absollute cannon for an arm. IM SERIOUS!
I will try and post a thread with some pictures in a few minutes.
Hope you guys like it!
