A Couple Pictures and Thoughts From 7/26

[KendrickPanther]

I took the girls down to camp Friday night. Normally I have a bunch of stuff to share but unfortunately kids can be rather distracting. I'll share what little I did see.

 

First of All Amini looked like a bad mother:

He is wearing #66 now and he was bossing Star in one on ones. His weakness was always the mental side of things but he looks strong and quick.

 

Another guy that just stood out from the crowd was #70 Edmund Kugbila. He is a mountain of a man but needs work. It was fun watching him vs. Kawann Short. Short was 4 yards into the backfield in a flash but once Kugbila got his hands latched on he was able to drive him back.

 

Obviously #89 and #11 looked good but I will list off some others that looked good in the wide receiver group: #83 Taulib Ikharo ran well and caught well. #10 James Shaw looked good and got a few first team reps. #14 Armanti Edwards and #15 Joe Adams looked good as always. (no pads, take this all with a grain of salt). #87 Domenick Hixon looked good as well. I didn't see #19 Ted Ginn make any plays. I didn't see every play so he might have done well but I did see him line up in the wrong spot and Cam had to correct him.

 

#91 Colin Cole completely bossed #62 Jeff Byers in one on one drills. I mean he drove him 7 yards into the backfield and threw him to the ground.

 

Jon Beason was kind of warming up with the team and he definitely had a hitch in his giddy up. Just doing a basic little side step warm up he looked to be nursing an injury. It left me with a bit of concern.

 

The second kicker Morgan Lineberry #5 has no shot. He's neither accurate nor powerful. Total camp body.

 

#56 AJ Klein reminds me of Kuechly in the run game. He's not always in the proper position but he reacts well in the run game and closes on the ball carrier in traffic.

 

The Offense spent a nice chunk of practice on passing plays designed for the TE. It was more of a walk through but noticeably different from last years content.

 

I did not see Star doing anything great. Again I missed large chunks of practice with the nieces but the only time I noticed him was when Amini threw him to the ground.

 

#16 Colby Cameron just didn't look like an NFL QB. Even with Jimmy you can see some arm talent, some accuracy. Cameron looked deficient in every type of throw.

 

That's about it. A very uneventful practice. As always none of this should be taken seriously it's the first day of camp.

 

 

On a personal note my niece has become a very big fan of #77 Byron Bell. They have met a few times over the years and he always treats her like a Queen.

Thanks for the update KP. Not sure that shoe will fit your nieces foot though. It is almost as big as she is :P

Star will be fine. The time will come once the lights come on. And Amini needs a Harley and a leather jacket.

Dawwww, cute kid. Byron is by all accounts a really good dude. I hope he keeps improving.

Yes she told me she wanted to hang it on her wall. I told her the wall probably isn't big enough!
