8/9 Practice

Bo was not as bad as I was expecting. Certainly not great but Im not quite as nervous anymore. You can see the light come on after he makes his mistakes. He does seem to be learning from them.

The starters I am most worried about are Aaron Morris and Gross. On run plays, holy shite, get out of Aaron's way but his pass pro is not good at all, especially against quicker DT's like Issac, Woody and Carlton. Carlton looked very very good today. He is finally the player we thought he would be. I cant say enough how deep we are at DT even without Issac. Issac is just as quick as he's always been and he does beat guys, but when he doesnt get past them on his first step he is a liability. Just isnt strong enough to not get pushed backwards once someone gets in front of him.

I havent heard a single thing about Austin Douglas so far but he looked better than Swindol did today and it wasnt like Evan had a bad day. I dont understand why people arent pointing out how good he looks. Maybe today was his only good day. Our three offensive players that we cant lose are Bo, Donte, and Evan, but I kind of think we will be ok with Austin next year starting and this year backing up Evan.

Treadwell... holy frick he's good.

DT looks damn good with his hand down and I mean damn good. If he keeps progressing and CJ doesnt get more healthy, he could be our best pass rusher. Carlos wasnt out there so I couldnt compare him to DT

Tunsil is as good as everyone has said. I dont think Eman is any better but maybe he starts ahead of him just because of experience. To me Tunsil looks a little better

Channing doesnt look like he's learned one pass rushing move. He either tries to bull rush or run around. DT looked better than him today

Robert is as good as everyone has said

Denzel had fun today. Talked a lot of trash and backed it up

All of our two deep at LB's look better than anyone did last year. Such a good group. Keith looks like a RB, Marry is moving so much better, and Bird is everywhere the ball is.

Mireless doesnt look like he likes playing CB. Maybe its because he's a little lost but he has the least amount of moxie. Dehendret is full of moxie. I think he will be very solid for us as long as his guy doesnt get past him because he has zero speed. He sticks with WR better than anyone though and is physical. Standifer looked pretty good, not great but not bad. Burdette is an athletic freak. He honestly looks like Brassell did but not quite as rangy and what I mean is not quite as tall or long arms but looks so damn athletic. He may not be great this year, but he will be a very very good CB before he leaves.

Fadol Brown is so good. What a fricking steal.

Herb looks good and has a surprisingly good first step. His lower body is the biggest I've every seen on an athlete.
