Marlon Walls is working at the 1st team DE over Bohannon.

Justin Hunter and Anthony Anderson were the ones getting reps at punt returner.

Teague and Waggner are the current 1st teamers at corner.

Brent Brewer is getting a lot of work in the box.

We will find out more once the pads come on.

Ill update the post after tonights practice.


Session 2

Not going to overanalyze the first day on the field for the newcomers. After all, they aren't in pads yet.

The freshmen who stand out physically are "Tiny", Maggitt, AJ Johnson, Randolph, Kerbyson and Saulsberry.

Dallas and Arnett were the two returning punts. Dallas didn't have the best of days catching the ball from WR, but no biggie. Arnett looked good running routes and catches the ball naturally. Needs to bulk up some.

Maggitt was with the LBs, no surprise there.

Byron Moore was with the CBs. Again, no surprise there. Moore and Justin COleman were the 1st team CBs in the night session.

While Tiny is the biggest physical specimen I've ever saw, he's a ways away from knowing the blocking schemes. Add the fact that he's not totally 100% yet, he won't play as much as some fans are hoping. (remember, Dooley went out of his way to mention him being day-to-day yesterday.)

Also, the DT Jeffrey was practicing tonight. If he was to ever dedicate himself and fully recover from his ACL injury, he could be a good player for us. The same with greg King.

Think Dooley is just giving Teague and Waggonner the benefit of the doubt as of right now? I believe Prentiss can be a starter at corner for us this year, he is a much better corner than safety, IMO.

Hope we have a decent punt return unit this year. Kinda nervous about JH, and AA back there. Won't have to wait too long to find out I guess.

Agreed. Don't like a primary offense threat put at risk on ST duty.

Personally, I don't like the idea of having Justin Hunter returning punts. If he gets hurt back there, we are in trouble. With a team like this, we can't take unnecessary risks with one of our best players. JMO of course.

Zas,

Is Byron Moore and Izzy Lanier in this practice or the 2nd?

Prentiss will be the nickel back, which is his best position anyways.
