2015 Fall Camp Practice Day 8 Snapchat Observations

Teaser: You need to come to the TKP Happy Hour to get detailed thoughts.

Steven Peoples is really showing me something as a blocker. Super physical, great hand placement and aiming points. He dictates where the defensive player is going.

Shai McKenzie broke a linebacker's ankles on a pass route. Not carrying the ball... a pass route. That was nasty. Travon McMillian also looks very fluid in passing.

Running backs over all looked very sound and physical in pass blocking drills against the linebackers. Peoples almost knocked Ronny Vandyke into the camera.

Big Tim Settle had another nasty spin move to beat Braxton Pfaff in the pass pro drill. Given that we haven't seen Nigel Williams and Ricky Walker show much pressure in those drills and in team work, perhaps Tim is pushing them for a spot. He is showing that special ability in those limited glimpses. The defense sure seemed to look better in team work.

I can't make the scrimmage tomorrow. I strongly suggest eyeballing Settle, the back up OT's, the safeties, and the linebackers. Those to me are the big questions. At running back, everything I have seen indicates that whoever wins the battle will be really good, because there is a boatload of talent and all of them appear to play an all around game (blocking, passing game, etc.)
