what an amazing effort really, Nosebleed. (always loved that screenname) Very thorough and well written synopsis of the day. Great work. Thanks man, now that I have one practice under my belt I think I'll be able to improve on these notes. I really wasn't sure how to get everything down between plays when I first got there. Especially since they don't have names on their backs and half of them roll up their damn jersey's so you can't see the numbers clearly. Already one of the best write ups out there anywhere man, great work.

All well and good, but he better start building some chemistry with other WR's or else DB's will be jumping every Marshall route. Like Jcappy said him and Decker seem to have a pretty good rapport. Also I'm sure if Amaro didn't sprain his ankle he would have made more of an impact today. Owusu actually stepped in quiet nicely for Smith too. I was not expecting that.

Coples - I thought he had a real good practice, but I'm sure people will still bitch about his effort. The only difference is it won't happen as much now that he's being used properly. He had another sack today where he beat Cumberland and Brick for a sack. I also saw him have a tackle for a loss. The only time I saw him drop back was during 7 on 7s where broke up a pass from Fitz to Davis. He also did well in the one on one pass rush vs pass blocking drill. My only gripe is when he was matched up during Ivory. He beat him, but it didn't look like he was going full speed. My pick for breakout player of the year. I still hope Bowles gives him some hand in the dirt three technique at times.

My pick for breakout player of the year. I still hope Bowles gives him some hand in the dirt three technique at times. I think he will too. He may not "dominate", but I can see him easily getting 10+ sacks now that he's not dropping back or jamming WRs as much. I loved our 4-3 look today with him as the DE, Richardson and Williams as the DTs, and Pace as the the other DE (hopefully Mauldin takes that spot). The past two years he's always been a step late. Hopefully the way Bowles uses him will change that.

It definitely looks like it, but I think they're only starting to scratch the surface chemistry wise. However, you could tell that Geno already trusts him 100%. There were multiple times when he threw to him and it looked like he was pretty well covered. All well and good, but he better start building some chemistry with other WR's or else DB's will be jumping every Marshall route. I think Decker is gonna kick ass with Marshall here
