Hello Everyone... Watched the scrimmage...and we all know what we saw....there is no sense of repeating myself on what happened out there.
I would gave a scrimmage game ball to HENRY TAYLOR on defense.....and to Randy Mcmichael on offfense.....and a total position congradulations to every single player along that DEFENSIVE LINE as well.....what a perfromance from that DL...even in this controlled scrimmage!
I know what JED WEAVER brings us....and I am already seeing enough raw talent out of RANDY McMICHAEL....that he is going to be the long-term answer for us....this season...at the TE position. He is just beginning to now feel his way through the offense. Jed Weaver is not a great blocker....but neither really is Mcmichael. But what you see out there in RANDY over JED....is 1. faster legs....and 2. More yards after the catch.
For these 2 reasons alone....you should want Mcmichael in there on opening day.....but what about the other side of the game....called the mental side?
I think the coaches are now seeing that Mcmichael has all the raw talent that they had hoped for when they drafted him. Now....they are saying to themselves....Can they trust this rookie TE...to run all the correct routes? Will he miss a blocking assignment? Will he make those rookie mistakes? Is it worth starting him now....over JED WEAVER? Bottom Line: If RANDY hits the playbook....I think his natural ability will simply allow WANNY to start him on opening day.....he is the better all-around athlete....than WEAVER is....and that is why I would let him play and play and play....until that opening game agianst the LIONS. We know what WEAVER can do....we really don't know the limits for this RANDY McMicheal....but my goodness....the yards this guy can make after the catch...is the key.
As for HENRY TAYLOR......he was very impressive....very similar in the way DAMIEN GREGORY jumped into our minds after an early scrimmage---some years ago. He may be ahead of ERNEST "hasn't done much at camp" GRANT....right now. GRANT has been recovering from serious migraines though...
The 4 headed DE line....was very impressive...and that situation is a go....there is nothing to think about...
I thought SEAVERNS did some good things today....he has the intensity you really like.
BRENT SMITH.....was playing left tackle today....like a matador with a red cape. And the bull was JEVON KEARSE. There was no excuse....on some plays.....KEARSE just flew by him without even SMITH getting in his way. This was very discouraging.....he is not ready to play at this point...
Whats worse....is that MARCUS SPRIGGS saw no action...and he is not ready to let it all out yet.....this is the most glaring concern on this team right now....and somthing soon has to be done about it.
I like what I saw out of SETH Mckinney.....and I like Leonard Henry to be on the practice squad...for sure.
Does anyone see ROB KONRAD catching over 40 balls in this offense? I don't see it. I see RICKY doing it....but not ROB.
I want to see DEDRIC WARD give McKNIGHT a run for the third reciever spot.....
Roussell and ROYALS......its pretty close right now. But MARE trusts ROYALS as his holder now.....so who do you think has the edge to make the team?
The only thing that I wanted to see more of....was the RETURN GAME.... I don't think anything is etched into any depth charts from that game. Chris Chambers is definitively off the ST/s,,,,but BROCK MARION still can be back there on kickoffs...when it is all said and done. TRAVIS MINOR....from what I am hearing....has the edge right now....to be the main KO returner....if not BROCK.
I think the offense will pick up next week....once JAY gets back in there. As usual...it seems the defense is or will be making the standout plays....in the beginning. Taking nothing away of course.....from that great throw by LUCAS to CHAMBERS today. Unfortunately....for LUCAS.....that one play saved him from getting a failing grade....he was not that sharp.
LEVCIK has the arm....but is he good enough to be on this roster as the #3 Quarterback....or do we wait for a veteran QB to get cut...on the final day?
