Impressions of day one of camp...
Here are some random impressions from the 1st day of camp.
Overall, very impressive day and lots of good players
Guys that stood out:
#4 Chris Kelley - Had very good moves and nice hands, seemed to know how to get open.
#3 Robert Leblanc - Looked alot more polished than I expected being just out of McGill seemed to know exactly what he was doing, not quite as good on long routes as short and medium
#14 Tony Tompkins - Quite small but caught the ball well and looked fast. The coaches did have to talk to him about routes and reading defenses a few times.
#93 Clinton Wayne - Worked very hard in drills, is more agile than I thought he was.
Guys that perhaps struggled:
#56 Patrick Kabongo - A project, pulled a couple of illegal procedures and got beat real clean on at least on drill.
#84 Devin Lewis - Large receiver but didn't make some makeable catches and didn't get open often.
Other random thoughts:
Kicker Chris Brewer has a real good leg, seemed to be hooking them at 1st but looked better after a bit.
The holders for field goals (Maas, Jones) had to do a bit of adjustment when Posteraro was kicking field goals being that he is a left footed kicker.
Both Garrett and Frank intercepted passes in receivers vs db drills.
Mookie Mitchell looked good, looked faster than last year for some reason.
Trevor Gaylor has the skinniest legs you ever did see.
Jason Lamar was barking out orders on defense, seemed to be in control and knew what he was doing.
Overall excellent 1st day, not alot of blatant screw ups a few techniques were corrected but the guys seemed to know their plays, all QB's threw the ball well. All tailbacks looked but no one stood out head and shoulders above the rest.
(The guys worked hard over the two practices can't imagine these teams in the states having camp in 30 plus degree weather.)
