It was weird the first 15 minutes was just a re-airing of the DL vs OL drills from the day before for the North practice. It was a full pads practice the rest of the day though.
As for the rest -
Unger - continues to show that he needs to get stronger, but shows good feet and hands.
Raji - Maybe Unger is at a disadvantage though becasue Raji is dominating everyone with bull rush moves and quick step moves. Showed good feet on the bags for his size.
Loadholt - actually looked very good. Good arm extension to keep the defenders off of him and once he did that he rpetty much had his way.
Fulton - Had a much better day then the day before. Not awesome but looked at least like he belonged today.
Mack - 2nd rounder status is being solidified so far over the last two days. Not awesome but doesnt make mistakes either.
English - fastest first step out of everyone there including WR's and DB's. Once he gets the edge and he did most of the time the OT was done. But when he tries to switch it up he spent way to much time trying to decide what he wanted to do. On one play he actually spent a good full second just head faking. Could have shown a little better feet in the bags drill as well. But he did keep his head up the whole time while other DL had troubles looking down to see where there feet were.
Pettigrew - got to show his blocking today and was completely dominate.
Sintim - Seemed kind of lost a little bit. Showed pretty good strength and feet though. Might not work in a 4-3 where he would have to cover more then he would in the 3-4. Strong at the point of attack and holding up the blocker to contain the edge in blocking drills.
The FB's - I really like the two kids there for the North side. Both seem like old school FB throwbacks.
The LB's as a whole were hit and miss. Solid but nothing stood out.
Derrick Williams continues to raise his stock. We know he is fast bu his body control and hands are better then I thought he had. Much more physical as well.
Finally got a look at the North RB's. Sheets might be making a name for himself here. Super fast game speed.
Thats all that caught my eye. Although I am pissed at the NFL network becuase they are not set up to show the South practices so I have no clue what the south side is doing besides some of the second had reports. Would like to see Oher, Cushing, James Davis, Alph Smith, Rashad Jennings, Clay Matthews, Rey Maualuga, Caldwell, Luigs, Wood, Peria Jerry do some work first hand.
At this point in time my top 3 performers for the north squad so far are Raji, Pettigrew, and Derrick Williams. Honorable mentions to Sheets, English, and King.
Although some rumblings I can gather from the recap show and some other shows on sirius radio -
Hermand Johnsons stock is plummeting. Almost 390 pounds and in practice he can barely even move his feet. Might be the biggest slider there.
Rey Maualuga apparently looked slow to react and out of shape.
