| Can Braxton win the QB job? |
- Howard and Roby continue to be the first team corner backs, and this seems like a lock for good, barring injury. Dominic Clarke isn't to be forgotten as he also got some first team reps, which gives the position some depth in case of the aforementioned injuries.
- Punt returning seems to be Devin Smith's job this year, with many different options or looks that can be put in place. As well as Smith, there were Posey, Philly Brown, and Evan Spencer all receiving punts.
- Long Play of the Day (Cheesy, no?) goes to Joe Bauserman who had a 45 yard bomb to Philly Brown. Bauserman and Braxton seem to keep battling it out, and yesterday Braxton was the most accurate while Taylor Graham seemed to under/overthrow his receivers too many times. Miller is a very good scrambler but some of the offensive line play gets sloppy when he gets out of the pocket. Unlike Pryor, Miller is a throw-first mentality QB while Terrelle would take off if he rolled out of the pocket (That wasn't designed).
- Special Teams seems to be good as Basil hits just about everything inside the 50 yard line, while Ben Buchanan had some really nice, deep punts. We learned last year that special teams are just as important as everything else, so it's good to have a solid unit that we can trust.
- Finally, the "injured/sitting out" list: Jaamal Berry was wearing yellow (although he took it off later in practice, he still didn't participate in drills) along with Sabino and Chad Hagan.
