Went to the morning practice earlier today and it was mostly 7-on-7, 1-on-1s and special teams again.
Coming off a good practice yesterday, Maxwell Smith had a good start during 7-on-7s but he started to trail off as the reps went on. He missed on some throws, didn’t throw to open receivers in his field of view and instead threw deflected passes to covered guys. Could have been a much better showing him from today.
A lot of the running backs got some action in the passing game today but none will be better than Pumphrey. You pretty much know the ball is going to him once he motions out and he is always able to come up with the grab and get some yards downfield.
On the o-line, Robert Craighead is again showing more improvement. Slater and Flores also stood out during one-on-ones. Joe Salcedo is still a kick slide away from being a capable backup and he’s going to need to improve in at least that aspect of pass-pro as he’s looking like the best option right now.
At WR, Eric Judge had one of the more impressive catches of camp. Focusing on the ball will be key for him and he showed it with a catch over Luke Bussey during one on ones. Judge ran a double move down the sideline but Bussey was in off coverage and read it well. Smith delivered a nice throw even though it was still a 50/50 because of the coverage. Bussey didn’t track the ball while sprinting downfield with Judge so Judge waited until the last second to throw his hands up and snag it, while running full speed.
I know during the spring and summer Mikah Holder was everyone’s pick to be the top WR this season but I’d put Judge in front of him at this point. He’s putting it all together while Holder started camp a little slow and is just starting to show some more consistency.
I’d lock in Judge and Favreau in as the starters at this point unless Holder and Mills really pick things up during the second half of camp.
Jack Bailey also had another standout day. Had a drop but was looked to a lot during 7v7 and executed.
-Randy Ricks got his first interception of camp.
The safeties did well again with Malik Smith having another impressive day. Known more as a physical guy, Smith looks much more natural in man coverage than he did last year and he deflected a couple passes during one-on-ones today.
Pierre Romain, Derek Babiash and Kalan Montgomery are starting to look like the top backup corners. Babiash and Montgomery are very good in press, and both slowed down Clewis off the ball during one on ones today - impressive considering Clewis is well over 200 pounds. Babiash and Romain looked very impressive blanketing in both 7-on-7 and 1-on-1s. Worth noting Montgomery is really filling out his once skinny frame.
On the injury front, Marcus Stamps was back in his boot today. I thought that was a little weird but he’ll probably won’t return until at least late next week.
Jake Rodrigues practiced a little today but don’t expect him to make a full return any time soon. Good chance he doesn’t play in the fall scrimmage either.
Tyler Morris was limping a bit yesterday and today he didn’t practice. Still nursing his knee injury from last season and his leg was heavily wrapped..
