sounds very encouraging on a number of fronts - although you can't read too much into these early practices.
Sure but this guy just doesnt have what it takes to be a starting cb ffs.Hes stiff at the hip and lacks quickness,agility,instincts and acceleration.Cant believe some people are ok with this guy starting.
This is like the 4th practice in a row where it would seem Henne and the offense is clicking. We've been on here moaning and complaining about how bad this offense is and from most reports it looks as though the offense is starting to move the ball. Downfield passes, TDs, big plays by receivers...I think Clyde Gates has caught a TD or more in every practice.
I can't wait until Friday to see this team live.
Sean Smith has incredible agility and qucikness especially for a CB his size. The two things I would like to see him improve on this year are:
1) Catching the ball when he gets a chance
2) Using those long arms to jam guys at the line
Not surprised at all that A: Henne overthrew Marshall and B: Marshall beat Sean Smith.
-- Another TD pass to Mastrud fromm Henne near the goal line.
-- Doing some 11-on-11 work near the goal line today: Henne to Mastrud for a short TD. Play-action pass.
-- Back from the radio. Dolphins doing some 11-on-11. Henne just completed a nice long pass down the field. Couldn't see to who; scrunched #.
- Now back to Henne: 20-yard TD pass to Clay. Nice play. Charles Clay impressing, folks. Will be a tough match-up.
-- 7-on-7 redzone now. Henne to Bess. Then to Bush. Short passes. Then Henne to Marshall, who dropped a TD pass.
Maybe Daboll wasn't a terrible hire after all? Time will tell. He seems physically and emotionally invested in the offense, that cannot be a bad thing.
Well now if that didn't surprise you, by inference, surely you're gonna want to chime in how pleasantly surprised you are by these:
Yep surprised....but it's something about Henne to Marshall, the connection isn't there. Also did Benny Sapp get secretly cut? Haven't heard anything on him in camp.
not going to defend Daboll in Cleveland cause his offenses were bad, but Mangini's player decisions kind of sucked themselves. I got to see a lot of Cleveland games and really the only guys worth a damn on offense were Cribbs (who Daboll used in a lot of different ways), Ben Watson, Evan Moore (backup TE), and Peyton Hillis. Daboll did do a lot of different things to try and get mismatches, and sometimes it did work, but Mangini was horrible making roster decisions.
Plus, everything I've heard about Daboll is his players do like him.

Looks like Mastrud may be an NFL player after all. I'll be watching his blocking in preseason.
