A few notes from day 3.
Chris Brown had better pick it up or he will be pushed down the depth chart. He fumbled and had a poor day. Gibbs was in his ear on multiple occasions. Walker is making the case for him to get a roster spot, Brown isn't.
Butler stood out today, but not for good reasons, again he got a lot of attention from Gibbs, and not the good kind. False start and a few missed assignments. (Never caught Frye today).
The times I focused on Adibi in passing drills, he looked very solid.
Greenwood made a huge play against Chris Brown and got the ooohhh from the fans.
Earl Cochran had a huge play from the LDE position against the run, every defensive player got a charge from that. Jethro was pounding heads in approval from that one.
Moffit was always around the ball, and on one pass play he had Chris Taylor on a deep route and appeared to have him stride for stride, nice job.
BTW I miss my replay button when I'm at practice.
Shane Boyd is better than all the backups QBs from last season not named Sage.
Jacoby Jones had a very nice PR. Without the replay not sure he wasn't down at the start of the play, but he made some nice moves getting by the 2nd wave.
Near the end of practice it appeared that Kubiak was really tearing into the team. Today's practice seemed to be slower, and less intense as a whole. And I believe Kubiak was venting his displeasure.
I think I said it yesterday, but it bears repeating, we are going to be cutting some real football players this season, guys like Zgonina and Walker know they are on the bubble and they are playing like it.
Lastly Brown is showing a fire to succeed. He was banged up a few times and went to the side and stretched, but he always can back in when the 1st team did it's next set of reps. Once this kid gets his legs under him, he will be OK. (Do not take that to mean he is the opening day starter).
Hope to see some of you out at Tuesday mornings practice.
