Live Blog — July 27 Training Camp Practice

Beat me to it.

2:29
Davone Bess continues to show off his great hands, while Foster runs so fast, he has to slow down to wait for the pass to get to him.

Kim Bokamper says yesterday morning’s practice had more contact than any practice during the entire 2007 season. Sparano isn’t messing around.

John Beck has a beautiful throw to David Kirkus. 50 yards, tight spiral, right on the money down the sideline.

Cool I can't wait for Omar Kelly to report that it was Josh McCown who threw that ball, not John Beck. Details, who needs 'em.
 
3:22 found this interesting
While the skill players are off doing drills, Vonnie Holliday is working on the far field by himself with D-coordinator Paul Pasqualoni. Vonnie has been a defensive tackle most of his career, but it looks like he’s learning how to play standing up, a la Jason Taylor.

Anyone get the number of that truck?
Beck starts first, and his first snap is a sweep to Ronnie Brown. Brown explodes after the hand-off, cuts the corner, takes it about 10 yards up-field and knocks Will Allen to the ground. Crowd goes wild.

Beck struggles
Vonnie beats Smiley off the ball, and Charlie Anderson blows past Jake Long on the same play, forcing an incomplete from Beck.
Next pass, Beck throws a wounded duck that is easily intercepted by Jason Allen. No receiver within 5 yards of the pass. Not Beck’s finest moment.
Quentin Moses flies around Ikechuku Ndukwe for a sack. Next play, Beck throws another bad pass, a bomb off his back foot that again is almost picked off. He’s had better days.

Henne nervous or anxious?
Henne’s turn. First snap is a fumbled exchange with Ronnie Brown.
Henne forces a pass over the middle to Jayson Foster in quadruple coverage. Renaldo Hill makes an easy interception.
Henne has a case of happy feet, and Vonnie Holliday sacks him as a result.

sweeeettttt......


"Kelly Poppinga might have to eat his meals through a straw after Donald Thomas is done with him."
 
Charlie Anderson is looking like a beast out there.... I am hearing nothing but great things about this cat day after day.

I think he can take JT's spot nicely here fellas

I thought that it was McCown/Henne today too. Can anyone confirm either way? Thanks!
 
Here's another update:

"Want to talk about John Beck here, because he was pretty awful at the end of practice.

Beck has the check-down to Ronnie Brown down cold. Otherwise, he looked terrible today.

In position drills, Beck throws a beautiful spiral. With a pass rush coming after him, every ball is a wounded duck. He’s lucky when they fall incomplete.

He throws a terrible interception to Nathan Jones (his second in two days). The very next play is an interception to Will Allen. Both passes were horrible decisions, with the receiver tightly covered.

Beck would’ve had a third interception, but Nathan Jones isn’t looking and the fade pass hits him in the back.

Beck is throwing off his back foot and doesn’t look comfortable at all. Henne, meanwhile, looks like Roger Staubach compared to Beck. At least he can step up in the pocket and hit David Martin streaking across the middle."
 
That last update is a predictable course of events. When you're changing mechanics it's damn tough at the outset for those alterations to hold up to pressure situations. It's like a culture shock to the system. It doesn't mean Beck won't come around but it's frankly laughable to assert the spring repetitions were all he needed.

The thing that made me cringe was the check down to Ronnie Brown down cold. That's the last thing we need, a scared QB who defaults underneath too quickly.
