Sense of Urgency | Vandermeer's View:

David Johnson – He's big, fast and can catch the ball. John Harris showed how he can improvise, in the Telestrator of a Cardinals play with Kyler Murray pulling the trigger.

Even though Lamar Miller and then Carlos Hyde weren't known as prolific receiving backs, they had some highly memorable moments (Like Miller against the Colts on SNF in '16 or Hyde taking a lateral pass from a would-be-sacked Watson in London last season and turning it into a first down). Johnson's ability to adjust and make plays as a receiver should mix well with Watson doing his typical magical things on the field.

Jordan Thomas – Bill O'Brien would probably say right here to not 'put him in Canton' but he's definitely off to a good start and looks more chiseled than in last season's camp.

The defense – They came up with a couple of big picks and also made it so the offense didn't totally win the day in late game and late half situational work. It's a work in progress but it was a nice showing on this day.

The numbers – As the play by play man, I just got used to Duke Johnson wearing Kareem Jackson's old 25 and now Karan Higdon is sporting JJoe's old 24. Oh, and there's rookie Jan Johnson wearing 56 while old 56, Brian Cushing, is helping in linebacker individual drills.

John Reid wearing 34 is going to take some getting used to and props to Isaiah Coulter for wearing an old school 82. Wide receivers wearing numbers in the 80s are an endangered species. Although he might have only done this because all the teens were unavailable. I promise to ask him at some point.
