Notes and Observations from Canesport:
-
Jalen Rivers struggled a bit – he was beaten by Francisco Mauigoa and later in the drill Corey Flagg went right around him with barely a hand laid on him … Flagg faked inside before going outside.
-
*Francis Mauigoa did a nice job on KJ Cloyd, shutting him down, but Mauigoa lost a later rep with Keontra Smith easily beating him and bursting into the backfield.
*Javion Cohen easily handled Corey Flagg on one rep and also handled Francisco Mauigoa. It was a strong performance by him.
*Anez Cooper had a great rep against Keontra Smith, totally stifling his pass rush and driving him backward. But later on Cooper didn’t hold up vs. Malik Bryant, with Bryant easily beating him.
*Samson Okunlola was beaten badly by Marcellius Pulliam, barely getting a hand on him.
-The leaders in the receiver room appear to be Colbie Young, Xavier Restrepo, Ray Ray Joseph and Jacolby George. Behind them the main group appears to be Shemar Kirk, Brashard Smith, Robby Washington (had a drop yesterday in media viewing and another today) and Tyler Harrell.
-On the defensive line it appears that Nyjalik Kelly continues to be a main component alongside Leonard Taylor, Branson Deen and Akheem Mesidor. Jahfari Harvey is still looking to push Kelly for that starting job, of course, and Rueben Bain will also be a major factor.
