QB play:
Tate Martell had a better day than he did yesterday but is still dealing with inconsistencies. In 11v11, Tate was sharp when he had a clean pocket. When the pocket did break down, Martell used his athleticism to get out of trouble but didn't throw on the run much. Martell looked good throwing the endzone fade route and also got the team into field goal range in the two-minute drill.
Jarren Williams continues to be the most consistently accurate quarterback, but his accuracy faded during 11v11. Williams excelled when throwing the endzone fade route. One area where Williams did shine during 11v11 is scrambling. When a hole opened up, Williams exploded through and showed his speed.
N’Kosi Perry had a better day today than he had Saturday or Sunday. One area where he did struggle was his ball placement on the endzone fade. On Perry’s first 11v11 reps, he drove the team down the field and looked comfortable and confident in the pocket. When Perry ran 11v11 later in practice, he did not play as well.
Other Notes:
Keontra Smith continues to impress in coverage. He showed off his range by coming down and breaking up a pass intended for the tight end in 7v7 play.
Redshirt freshman DT Jordan Miller has slimmed down, and the difference in play is noticeable. He was a problem with his power and his quickness off the ball.
Brevin Jordan did not get any 11v11 reps today, but he did have his helmet and was on the field the entire practice.
Jeff Thomas left practice about halfway through but later returned and was seen stretching with Coach Feeley.
Trevon Hill played both with his hand in the dirt and standing up.
There were a few drops today. I spotted one from Mark Pope, Dee Wiggins, Brian Hightower, and Mike Harley.
DeeJay Dallas fumbled on the first play of 11v11.
Nigel Bethel, Mark Pope, Al Blades, and DJ Ivey all hit 20 MPH
