Wednesday 08/04/04 TC Report-Morning Session
Disclaimer: I got there late, left early, and couldn't see well. If I mess up anything, too bad.
Wooden, Surtain, Madison, McIntosh, Thomas, and Timbo were all held out of practice, and I don't think I saw Bell either. Mare made all his field goals to start off the drills, then they switched to punt coverage and downing the ball. Simmons, Russell, and Wilkins were back fielding the punts, Simmons and Wilkins looking very smooth doing so....Bua and Akins were the two main fliers that I saw.
I tried to pay attention to the o-line today, it's still hard cause they're on the far side of the field and I don' have binoculars, so if I screw up any numbers I apologize. I was impressed with Dan Goodspeed to some extent, mainly due to his size and wingspan. He's the tallest of all our o-lineman and has the greatest wingspan, but at 6-6 315 he really needs to add some solid muscle. He got pushed aside by the first teamers pretty easily, and his footspeed is nothing to write home about. That being said, I still think he can make this roster as a backup, if not the 53 man squad then definitely the PS. Vernon Carey is getting better with time, he's looking much more comfortable out there. IMO he already run-blocks and pass-blocks better than St. Clair, there is no reason he shouldn't be starting besides lack of game experience. I think he'll be twice as good as Smith was last year. Tony Pape is also huge, but I see him as much more a long-term project than even Goodspeed...Pape needs alot of work on his strength, agility, and especially conditioning. Rex Hadnot, while not being that athletic or large, has a pretty nasty mean streak. He gets upset very easily, which I love in an olineman. Very feisty.

The qb's were roughly equal today, I thought AJ did well in the early drill then Jay really stepped it up in the Red Zone Drill. He also did very well yesterday afternoon in the same drill... Can't really give an edge to one today.
3 Stars
Morlon Greenwood: Very active on defense, a couple of nice hits and good coverage
Travis Minor/Sammy Morris: Both had a few good runs and a nice catch or two, both looking more comfortable.
Chris Chambers: Had a series of nice grabs, especially in the red zone drill.
Highlight: CC's two catches during the red zone drill
Lowlight: One play where Morris was slow to get up, scary moment, looked like he got hit in the head, but he bounced back up so WHEW!
