JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Standouts: Marcus Easly & Derek Hagan both looked very good and big strong targets Stephon Gilmore - contested many balls and broke up quite a few after the receiver got a hand on the ball. Fast. Played against Stevie most of the time. Corey McIntyre - actually caught 2 balls out of the backfield and rumbled quite a way. Wonder if this is a wrinkle. Fitz - hit people in stride all over the field TJ Graham had one where he jetted past everyone DBs dropped at least 2 or 3 picks. Mario WIlliams is so friggin fast. In fact, the team as a whole looks noticeable faster. They were getting close on punt team and even partially blocked one. Looked Bad: Vince Young. Eww. Quite well attended. Great weather. Parking situation was terrible, but the good news is that they just told people to park on campus so I didn't even have to deal with a shuttle bus. Wish I had some pictures but the camera I brought had a dead battery. I'll get some on Wednesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optometric Insight Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Nice. I do hope they use McIntyre, I like him and he's tough to bring down. Maybe they could use him for a few 3rd and shorts. I just watched the video on BB.com from yesterdays practice and Fitz impressed with the 4 throws I saw. All had zip and hit the receivers in stride. Glad he could carry it over from yesterday. Was there any sighting of Brad Smith working with the 3rd string unit at QB? I'm wondering how he's doing at working with only QBs. Wonder if they might put him at WR for a practice or two, too.

Jim in Anchorage Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good report. As far as VY, no shock. I look at him like the space saver in your trunk-emergency use only but better than driving home on a flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks Jay! Awesome to hear about Big Mac, would love to see him get involved, but that sure would mean we are spreading the ball around between SJ13, Freddie, Spiller, and Chandler. After opening day, I meant to post something about the parking situation. Not sure why they have to bus us from 20 miles away. My advice to anyone going to camp: Go real early and park on one of the front lawns across from the campus that is selling spots for $10. Totally worth it.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Haven't heard anything about Batten this summer, is getting any reps? Good report. As far as VY, no shock. I look at him like the space saver in your trunk-emergency use only but better than driving home on a flat. I really think this one of our glaring weaknesses, If Fitz goes down we are screwed. Maybe after some cuts we can some guys in here that we can play some and develop. I'd rather have McTrickshot back and see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinWPB Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good report. As far as VY, no shock. I look at him like the space saver in your trunk-emergency use only but better than driving home on a flat. I'm hoping he gets better as time goes on. I watched the Eagles yearbook last night and it features VY's 18 play 4th qtr drive to come back and beat the Giants last year. He looked pretty darn good on the drive.We'll see.....history says you need a good 2nd QB or be very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Couple other things: Terrence McGee was held out of team drills. He was doing football-like movements on the sideline and did NOT look comforatble. Fred Jackson, for some reason, will just run down to the end zone and back every once in a while. One time he took off and apparently he was supposed to be in the next play and they had to yell to get him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he is building up his wind, or visualizing taking it to the house every play, but he did it every time he touched the ball the other day. Spiller even did it a couple times. I like it!

Sorry Cory, I still like you though... Edited July 30, 2012 by DefenseWinzChampionshipz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good report. As far as VY, no shock. I look at him like the space saver in your trunk-emergency use only but better than driving home on a flat. Right... Thigpen is sort of like an empty can of fix a flat. you"ll put it in and try it then realize there is nothing there and you're not going anywhere. Is Thigpen really that bad? I never saw the famous [infamous?] pre season game. He is a less accurate less smart, weaker armed version of fitz, who apparently struggles reading defenses according to some scouting reports I've found.

Punch Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Season ticket holder here in Northern VA, champing on the bit to see some game action, so the updates are desperately needed and wholly appreciated. Thanks, man! By all accounts, Easley and Hagan are looking good. I hope they continue to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
