Um. So, yeah.. I didnt write it yesterday.
Well, this is why they could never charge actual admission to training camp. Theres the 7 buck transportation fee..which clearly they profit for but if they charged even 10 bucks instead I wouldnt go.
This day was pretty boring. Lots of simple drills that its quite difficult to draw any information or conclusions from.
They did do some 2 minute drills and some route tree work , but that was done on the far field, so it was difficult to see.
Here are a few of the take aways:
1) I think they are hoping that Archer (3rd string QB) could develop into a legit (and cheaper) #2. In a couple of drills he got to take the second team reps, not T Jack. It makes sense, they know what they have in TJack. I wish I could say it was a success, but I cant. Archer absolutely stalled the offense in 2 minute drills, threw one pick (off a deflection) and generally just seemed very 3rd string-esque. He may also have something weird going on with his cadence because there were 2 false starts and 3 out of 5 plays at one point when he was running the offense, though to be fair that could have been on the other players.
2) Kevin Smith continues to make his case in the crowded WR group.
3) Lockett is for real.
4) Cassius Marsh and Richard Sherman both missed plays after tweaking feet or ankles but were back soon. More than anything this just showed how little attention most of the spectators were paying by that point in practice. Usually when a player of Shermans stature gets hurt at all the crowd gets to mumuring but yesterday there wasnt a peep.
5) Rawls had a couple of good catch and runs and seems to have excellent acceleration.
6) The CB traded for with Detroit (forgot his name) was already there and on the field wearing #39. One advantage of the scheme we play with our CBs was the he was out there and not lost at all immediately. He looks very Seahawk-y.
Thats just about it. There really wasnt that much you could take away from that practice.
Will be there tomorrow again and thats my last.. Thursday night its back to Tokyo til September.
