    Windy day today, I would say gusts up to 40 mph..Good for us, bad for Qbs.


    Looks like Holland and Wilson didn’t dress.


    stretch period begins for the team, Wilkins trots off to the facility to go poopie time.


    Byron Jones in his own world, by himself working on back pedal and clicking that back foot.


    all unit groups split up for their drills.


    11 on 11..big hole on the left side for a big gain By Gaskin


    Tua quick WR screen to waddle, yards to be had.


    jesse Davis starting right guard, the line stays the same personnel wise.


    Malcom brown with a good hole and run with the 2nd team..nothing impressive from his POV


    Brisset with a deep slant, in Traffice, 25 yards that cut thru the wind, great throw great catch by 89, nice concentration..do we have a # 89 ?


    Tua in 7 on 7 doesn’t see anything downfield, checks down.


    Tua to waddle, 15 yard out with good timing and catch


    Brisset to Hunter deep down the sideline, good throw, Gesicki makes that catch because of radius but long can’t..


    Brisset is cutting the wind and is testing deep with his throw..big arm.


    Tua pump fakes, then holds ball for an extra beat, then throws down the middle, then X cuts in front and cleanly picks it off.


    Tua throws deep out to Parker, drop.


    Tua comes back, Waddle crosses the blood zone, hits him in stride, waddle turns on the juice and he gone.


    Brisset, looks downfield, nothing there, checks to Doaks, drop.


    Brisset try’s a deep out, Noah in coverage makes the play with a deflection, nice play, confident rep.


    Tua with a great pass 25 yards downfield..catch, didn’t see the receivers number.


    Tua with a good throw away on a jail break screen that was covered.I love this play by the Qb, hate when Qbs throw that pass even though coverage is there, shows me there are just following the scrip and not seeing the big pic, that’s big for me.


    Jaelyn getting first team reps.Him and Ginkel on the outside.


    next play, Jaelyn reads the bootleg, doesn’t fall for the Banana in the tailpipe, covers his read, Tua adjust and finds his 2nd read For a small gain.


    Great throw by Tua on a deep out, but X is better, makes the deflection.


    Big run by Laird with the 2nd team, good blocking.


    Jaelyn getting reps on both 1st and 2nd team.


    Brisset to Scarlett on a simple flat route check down, drop.


    Brissett inaccurate on next throw to Perry.


    Perry cramps, walks it off, comes back.


    Noah returning some kicks in real time..I don’t see the vision for the job.


    Tua hands to gaskin, blown up by Elandon tfl.


    Tua drops, Wilkins comes free and rushes strait up, Tua sidesteps and throws to grant, Wilkins celebrates like he had the sack.


    Nick Needham is real good, he’s your starting nickel, we have three Hi level, legit corners.


    FYI, offense is working random down and distance situations against defense During these scrimmages..


    11 on 11 currently, Tua on the boot, Shabeen sits, Tuas fires for the completion.


    Tua shotgun, 6 yard quick out in the flat, complete.


    Hunter long hurt himself but would return later.


    Tua shotgun, holds ball too long, throws to Doaks, low throw, drop by Scarlett, catchable And two drops for Scarlett..


    Eichenburg show good technique in a rep on an island pass rush..


    Brisset checks out of play, defense faKea blitz, Brisset goes to Perry deep on the sideline about 40, Perry with the overthe shoulder toe tap, I thought he was in bounds but there are no refs or replay..great play.


    Jaelyn takes inside leverage on a boot, Loses the contain.


    Brown with a decent run, plodder.


    Tua goes deep to Gesicki down the sideline, coverage too good.incomplete.


    Brisset to Perry after the jet sweep, dropped by Perry.


    Elandon Roberts explodes thru the line on full speed 11 on 11, tfl, and then unleashes some **** talking to the offense..Teammates swarm.


    Tua steps up, throw a crossing route, waddle with the one hander and turns upfield.


    Tua to waddle again, bobbles the ball, Needham right there to break up the play.


    Brisset takes a shot deep down the sideline about 50 yards, Trill Williams with sticky coverage, turns his head and makes the pick, toe tap finish to complete the play.Great play.


    Brisset back again down the seam, he‘s going against the wind, over throws.


    Brisset back to Perry with a good leaping catch On a crosser.


    Tua in shotgun, Can’t escape the chaos in the pocket, throws it up to his receiver, balls tipped, and X catches and goes to the house, with the finger roll over the posts.


    Brisset come back with a 15 yard come back route, complete, then comes right back down the seam with a laser to Hunter.similar to the Tua to Gesicki completion to Gesicki.


    Brisset tries to go deep again, miss communication with receiver, I think the receiver ran the wrong route.


    Brissett inaccurate on a dig route, incomplete.


    full speed over


    Observation..Benito Jones, real sloppy body, cut me mick.


    with Scarlett and Doaks not showing well in practice dropping balls, watch out for Patrick laird to make it as the 4th..He is smooth, has good hands, and plays good in big moments.


    Tua didn’t have his best practice I would think..didn’t test deep like Brisset, but with random playcalling and no context it’s hard to judge.


    Defense got the better if the day, and X was the star of the show.


    Best plays were by Trill Williams, X of course, Perry and Elandon Roberts


    Jmo here, i‘m not sure Sieler and Raeqwon isn’t the better option over Davis and Wilkins..Maybe that’s why they are playing him outside in the 34..


    I’ll keep looking at it tommorrow,..Peace guys.:)

    I know a lot of the focus is on Tua and I get that, but if the defense plays at a high caliber, as it seems they are, they’re going to force a lot of 3 and outs. That bodes well for Tagovailoa.

    The more opportunities he has, the better he’s going to get. And the better he gets, the more big plays he’ll be able to make especially when the game is on the line.

    The defense and the running game are going to be crucial to Tua’s development and success

    I have been impressed with Brisett's arm strength. He can really laser it in there at times.

    He is a much better fit for this offense than Fitz

    @djphinfan Curious on your thoughts on our OL and whether you believe they’ll turn the corner?

    From what I saw in the last practice in full pads they really played well against our defense, no mistakes, there was cohesion during 11 on 11, Phillips scooled Coleman one time, and there was a Blitz they didn’t pick up but other than that it was their best practice of the week.

    I was a big fan of Jackson and Kindley coming out so I’m not gonna give up on those two in their 2nd year, Dieter is an upgrade, Hunt is an upgrade, I would yeah say, I believe they will be a better line that last year..

    Their so young man think about it, let’s say Eichenburg gets in there.

    That would be three 2 Nd year players, 1 rookie, and a 3rd up year player. Average age would be about 24.5

    Just to summarize my week at practice.

    Just a summary from my visit to training camp

    Tua.. I actually think we can’t take away too much from practice reports, reason being there is so many variables that aren’t what a real game will show when it comes to his play, but I just feel like Tua plays at a different speed in games then he practices, it truly looks like he’s working on things/scenarios that don’t coincide with just finding the open man.I believe what we saw against Atlanta is the Tru Tua..I think if we’re smart we’ll run the offense out of the RPO’s, this is where he is comfortable, and very good, it just allows him to see the field differently than the standard drop back and shotgun sets..Kind of like a golf course fitting the eye of the pro..

    J Phillips is quite the site in person, to see a young man this size, physique and physical ability is impressive to say the least, he’s also a perfectionist with his technique. Have a feeling it’s why he started slow last year with the canes and came in strong for the 2nd half of the season.. The young man has great work ethic from what I can tell..huge ceiling considering his athletic profile and instincts.

    Adam Butler was an underrated signing imo, I think we lack quality players after Raekwon, Sieler, and Wilkins and he seems like he’s got explosive qualities coming off the snap..I don’t think anyone else makes the roster from that group.

    Waddle is gonna be a player for us for sure, the ability and speed will create explosive plays no matter who we play. My one concern with him was drops coming out, it happened every practice so I think it’s just something we live with, not a a big deal considering everything else he brings to the table.

    X is in rare form.

    So is Byron Jones

    So is Nick Needham..

    We’re set at corner with these three.

    Watching McKinney try to run sideline to sideline is tough, a bit slow, but he’ll make his share of plays on run downs behind the LOS. maybe there was a reason why we tore up that contract.

    I feel good about our two running backs, their both dual threats out of the backfield, Ahmed is a smooth runner who stays low thru traffic while not scarificing his speed..Doaks and Scarlett have stones for hands and Brown looks like a jag.. I expect Laird to make the team again.he’s reliable has good overall coordination and athletic skills, and has good hands.

    Malcom Perry is a lock imo..The guy is everywhere, catches everything and turns upfield looking to score, he has the speed and agility to create his own space at a hi level.

    I believe we have seen Wilkins ceiling..He’s more bark then bite imo.I feel like he tries too hard to be the leader without much impact.

    I expect our special teams to be very good again, they are coached hard and get equal time in practice.The walkthrough on Tuesday was predominantly all special teams situations.

    Looks like we’re going into the season healthy with eichenburg being the only player in question which pretty awesome.
