Practice 1 updates

Aug 1, 2017

We get to watch the first 25 minutes today so the updates won't be anything too crazy but I'll edit the OP when I have something.

Jon Ford is not on the official roster they just gave us
Miami still hopeful he will be good to go in the next week or so. Think Mullins situation from last year

Did not see Robert Burns

Thomas and Harley really move with a different pep in their step

Trayone Gray was out there and he looked full go

Evidence Njoku already looks like he's added weight since he's been here. Working with WRs

Deejay dallas was with WR group. Looking for him to get RB reps too

Without Jenkins or Willis at DT I'm pretty concerned about this year. Last years defensive upswing was directly tied to improved DT play. You need at least 4 good bodies rotating in at DT for that to happen consistently.

Bethel & Moten. We should be ok

I hope so, Jenkins and Willis, when healthy, were a pretty **** good combo at DT.

Depth charts mean very little at this stage, but a few thoughts:
- Surprised Harris is ahead of Cager
- Who is Curry?
- That 2nd string OL is scary bad, particularly at guard.
- Romeo Finley is a ghost.

Any injuries to one of our top 4 DT's and we are in trouble. Also, Moten isn't very good.

Herbert stepping right in as backup LT is either impressive or scary (I realize they would shake up the line and Linder is probably the 6th OL)

This is the first practice for Cager since his injury so that is not surprising at all. But I wouldn't be surprised if he leaps Harris before the first game or so.

- I really do hope we use Berrios similar to how UNC used Ryan Switzer. You'd think with him being the PR that we'd run at least majority of the screens to him or a bunch of short Patriots-like routes. I don't get why we don't.

- Not Surprised Cagers isn't the starter. The guy hasn't play a down in a real game for this staff so why would he be the starter. You can't name him the starter just because he had a good spring last year. What did surprise me though was the fact it was Harris and not Mullins is starting opposite Richards at the moment.

- Irving has entered JAG status till further notice. You can't let a walk-on, who Hudl profile has him positioned as a PF and played DE in HS, pass you on the depth chart. No excuse.. and for those who want to give an excuse like "Irving is only a sophomore" well, Curry is a sophomore to. JAG. ( https://www.hudl.com/profile/2998114/malik-curry )

- As Irving is beginning to enter jag territory it seems that Michael Jackson is exiting it. He was already a contributor on special teams but now he looks like a solid option on defense for nickel or dime packages.

- Oh and LMFAO if anyone here actually thought Owens would start over Pinckey.

Can't argue that - good backups for sure. Like what I've been hearing about Bethel ...kinda meh on Moten but he's a body and decent enough

got a feeling richt wants to do what dabo did with Watson. start the vet guy even though he's clearly the lesser talented qb and have Perry play more and more each week before taking the job for good in the 2nd half of the season

Sheriffs will be the starter, I think he's being written off way too soon.

I still say it will be Rosier if Perry doesn't get the nod.

Wouldn't surprise me either, he's somewhat of a known. While I know people brush it off his one start he did well and I wouldn't be troubled if he got the nod.
