I went to the night practice tonight and i'll be there on saturday as well, here's some things i noticed.
- Both Losman and Holcomb were good at times and sucked at times. However, i liked a few things from JP that i didnt see last year. He never even came close to running, just stepped aside and threw. Also he threw a beautiful touch pass that he layed over 2 defenders and under another to Jonathan Smith who was in the middle.... thats right i said JP and touch pass in the same sentence. Bad things from JP was inconsistency and accuracy, he threw a couple passes into the ground.
- Spikes and Crowell switched at playin the strong side and weak side.
- Fletcher is listed at 5'9'' and Crowell at 6'1'', but anyone who gets the chance to look at them i swear crowell is only a half inch to an inch taller than fletcher, i dont know if that means crowell is shorter or fletcher is taller but i just noticed it.
- Jonathan Smith looked real good, and i wouldnt be suprised to see him playin reciever this year in some areas.
- DE Joshua Cooper looked like an all star. I literally couldnt believe my eyes, he put a move on mike gandy where the whole crowd gave an "ooooooooo". The next play he ran around gandy like he was cemented to the ground. I dont know who this guys is or where he came from, but for one practice at least, he looked real good, i'll be watching him closely on saturday to see how much of a fluke this was.
-Brad Butler is a putz.
- Peerless looked better than i expected, actually made some nice catches, a few even over the middle.
- Ryan Nuefeld looks like he is on steroids, he is an absolute beast, too bad he cant play.
- I dont know what happened to Brad Cieslak in the last year but he looks a 100 times better.
-Willis McGahee is ridiculously thin, and yes believe the hype that he is faster and his burst is back because it is.
- They've got Chris Kelsay at RE on the 2nd team.
- Tripplett is a beast and McCargo is so quick off the line, kyle williams look decent also.
- Personally i still dont think kevin everett is fully recovered, i didnt see anything from him and his left (i think) calf is still significantly smaller from not being on his leg for some time.
- I just dont know what josh stamer has to do to get on the field. I said this last year as well but i honestly think with our good LB's corps he could go to another team and start.
Hope this helps, remember this was also just one practice, so dont get too excited or disappointed, lets see some games!!! Go Bills.
