Sorry for the delay. I didn't realize how many notes I took. I'll write the defense now, but figured I post the offense since it's taking so long. Also sorry if there are spelling or grammar errors. I'm trying to type it as quickly as possible.
Take everything I say with a grain of salt. It's only one day, but here is what I saw.
QBs
Geno - Was great today. I didn't see him really make any head scratching throws. He was making good decisions and going through his progressions. When his WRs were covered he would put it in a place where either his WR was going to come down with it or it was was going to be a touch out of bounds. What he really needs to work on is throwing the fade. When he was throwing to uncovered WRs I noticed his ball would either be over thrown or not enough air on it. This also happened during 11 on 11s. Hopefully, by the end of train camp him and Marshall will be on the same page. He will be a god send for Geno. It was so nice seeing him go up and fight for the ball. His best play of the day was at the end of practice. Revis was on Marshall and it looked like it was going to be a fade, but Geno did a subtle pump fake and Marshall cut to the middle of the endzone and Geno hit him for a wide open TD. Even Revis walked off the field laughing because he got beat.
Fitz - He wasn't terrible today. He was just ok. It's obvious he doesn't have the arm strength that Geno does. There were a few under thrown balls and one or two balls behind the WRs. His throws outside the lines were Pennington like, and he checked the ball down a bunch. He also had two fumbles but I think the center Howard was more at fault for both. However, he still made pretty good decisions. His one deep ball to Hakim was under thrown, but Hakim made a great catch while falling down. Other than that he had a beautiful throw to Decker over the middle with Skrine in tight coverage, and a good jump ball TD to Davis who had Jarrett draped all over him during the Redzone drill.
Petty - Very raw and inconsistent, but you can see his talent. There is no way he should play this year. Although I doubt there will even be a chance of that happening with the way Geno looks so far. He had a couple nice throws. He had a nice throw to Shaq, and a really sweet deep ball to Enunwa who shook off Mcdougle. He also had another TD dropped by Enunwa in the back of endzone.
Heaps- Garbage. He's inaccurate and throws a bad ball. He didn't really get any snaps, but he didn't do anything with the few ones he had.
RBs
Ivory - He looks like himself. There's not much to say since they weren't really tackling. The only I did notice is he still needs a lot of work as a blocker. He did pop one LB pretty good tho.
Powell - Showed he's still the best blocking rb on the team and reliable.
Stacy - He showed good burst and a lot of wiggle in his hips. I think he becomes our #2
Richardson - Didn't show much. He'll probably be cut if Ridley is healthy.
WRs
Marshall - Just an all around beast. He was catching absolutely everything and was by far Geno's favorite target. Geno gave him a lot of chances to make plays on the ball. As I stated before he's Geno's favorite target already. He had a few TDs, and was the only player to beat Revis today. He also had a fade from Geno that looked like it might have been a TD. I think they called it out of bounds tho.
Decker - Was just solid. Great routes and good hands. I don't think I saw him drop anything. Saw a lot of time in the slot.
Owusu - With Smith out he is now our #3. Gailey loves to put Decker in the slot and have a speed guy on the outside. He made a few nice catches and had a TD where he beat Pryor in the back of the endzone.
Kerley - Not much to say. He had a few catches. One was a TD from Fitz with Marcus Williams covering him, but it never would have happened since Harris would have had a sack. He was also our main punt returner today.
Graham - was solid, but nothing spectacular today. He did have one nice catch just short of the endzone during the redzone drill. If he makes the team I'd like to see him take over punt return duties for Kerley. He's got some wheels and nice moves when the ball is in his hands.
Enunwa - I doubt he makes the team. He had that one great play where he caught a deep ball from Petty and shook Mcdougle, but other than that the only other time I noticed him was his drop in the Endzone.
Evans - Like Enunwa I don't think he makes the team. He had a few catches but didn't really stick out.
TEs
Cumberland - Idk why he's the starter. He's just ok. During the one on one pass rush vs blocker drills he got beat a few times. I also saw him drop a ball.
Amaro - He kind of had a quiet day, but I think that's because he got hurt. Before that he looked good during position drills. His routes look crisper and his hands look better. He even looked better in blocking drills. He might have been our best blocking TE today. The only bad thing was his drop in the Endzone. Jarrett knocked it out, but he still should have held on.
Davis- Definitely stood out today. He had a great leaping TD over Jarrett. He was probably our second best catching TE today and was decent during the blocking drills today. He should at least be our 3rd TE.
Saxton - Didn't really show much today. He kind of looked like Cumberland out there.
Maneri - Didn't see much. Was ok during the blocking drills.
FBs
Bohanon - By far the best FB on the roster. Was great in the blocking drills.
Copeland - Was horrible. I thought he could steal the job from Bohanon but I don't see that happening. During the blocking drills he was run over, juked, and pushed back. Really rough day for him. I also saw him drop a pass. It wasn't a great pass, but he should have caught it.
OL
I'm just going to lump them all together it was hard to see who was responsible for what from where I was sitting. However, I hope they figure out who's going to start at the RG position so they can gel. There was a bunch of sacks that came from up the middle. If Mangold goes down yikes. Also They should cut Johnson right now. I'm pretty sure both of Fitz fumbles were because of him.
