i m also curious to know how kareem martin looks with new role

and who s of the young undrafted ILB make a good impression to you

 

[Bert]

No sign of Palmer. Day off perhaps

Yep this is his rest day. Has been getting one a week.

Yeah He's out there now but not participating.

 

[Bert]

Sims hard count giving the offensive line trouble...

 

[Bert]

3rd team scrimmage getting chippy.

And Sims looks horrible in this drill I take it back him and Thomas are still a toss up.

Thanks Bert!

I am uploading about 15mins of video now. It's all raw and probably a little shaky, they wouldn't let me bring my monopod in. But you can see some of practice and hey it's better than nothing.

The video will be here:
But it is still uploading so just hang in there. http://youtu.be/_cVjK6Fokrc

Video notes:

4:45 nice John Brown TD
5:05 Defense forces Honey Badger INT
7:50 Stanton to Ellington TD
8:00 Thomas INT
8:55 Thomas makes a good read/check down and throws a TD
9:40 Thomas INT
10:00 Sims TD
13:25 Fells drops perfect pass from Stanton after Minter falls down in coverage doing his best Larry Foote impression.
13:35 Interior line opens a hole the size of Glendale for Ellington to run through, he also looks great BTW.


Other things I noted.

To me, Minter just doesn't look like an impact player to me. I hope he can be, I'm not a hater, but purely on the eyeball test out there he just doesn't look like a guy who is going to make a ton of plays, I hope I'm wrong. At one point Larry Foote gave him an earful on the sideline and he didn't look happy at all. See pic:

I also video'd a few of his plays, just focusing on him, so you can watch for yourself. Again, not burying him yet, it's just PRACTICE and the guy was working hard out there, he didn't do anything majorly wrong, but he just doesn't really stand out in a good way.



Stanton looks really sharp.

Thomas and Sims are both still, well, themselves. Sims still looks better in drills but when they started scrimmaging he was super uncomfortable in the huddle, at the line. He was the only QB to call timeout and if they weren't pulling up, he would have been sacked several times. Needs to work on that decision making.

Thomas threw 2 picks and that's all I really have to say about that. He completed a couple of nice passes but for the most part, he forces the ball into tight spaces. If he ever enters a real game I forsee a lot of INT's.

Of all the rookie ILB the only one who made any kind of impression was Gabe Martin. The guy has a quick jump off the ball and was fighting through blocks like a beast. Granted he is facing 3rd team guys but he was doing work atleast. Other guys were meh at this practice.

John Brown made a couple of great catches. I see great things from this kid this year especially with Floyd out for a while.

# 14 JJ Nelson. Ho-Lee-Crap this kid flies. He fielded a bunch of kicks today and didn't drop one and man, he really made the rest of the field look like they were going at 3/4 speed, which some of them were, but even so, this kids first step is spectacular.

Honey Badger looks fantastic. Really explosive off the ball and being very vocal out there.

Awesome job, Bert. Thank you SO much. Loved seeing the video.

Honey Badger is definitely back! I cannot wait to see him playing at full strength this season.

[Bert]

I moved around a little, trying to get close, next time I will just up high at mid field to give everyone the best view. Will probably go back on Monday or Tuesday depending on work.

nice coverage by okafor on ellington

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Thanks for the info!

Enjoy hearing from people who actually go to the practice.

to be fair to Minter on that awful drop by Fells, I don't think he just fell down. Looked like he got tangled up with another defender on the play. At the same time, he was already toast when he got knocked down so that ain't good anyway.
