DL Darrion Scott. To say he owned Selvish Capers is putting it mildly. Scott got into his pads and then slowed up so he wouldn’t kill the quarterback. On the next play, he got the edge vs. Capers and would have had a sack. Later, he showed Chad Rinehart back and followed that up by beating Capers again.

LB London Fetcher. Sometimes, it’s just fun to watch the guy. Not because he’s the best ever, but because he plays hard all the time and even in practice has a hunger to make a tackle. Saw that on a play in which he scraped along the line, but was stumbling a little because he’d been hit. Still, he kept going, never lost balance and lunged at Willie Parker. The hit caused a fumble. And his coverage has been good; had Chris Cooley covered on one route down the middle, forcing an errant pass.

LB H.B. Blades: His most active practice. Forced a Willie Parker fumble with one hit, stripped Fred Davis after a catch and then filled the hole nicely on a Larry Johnson run for a stop.

C Casey Rabach: Handled himself well vs. Maake Kemoeatu and steered him where he wanted to go; sometimes it was right into a double team. Rabach helped create a couple nice openings, including one for Johnson.

DE Phillip Daniels. Going against second-teamers, Daniels showed his strength. He seems to have a second gear for power. Once, the QB rolled away from Daniels so he held his ground. The minute the QB started working his way back to that side, Daniels simply overpowered Stephon Heyer. This came a play or two after he had powered Heyer back followed by the same thing of Will Montgomery. Daniels and Adam Carriker are suited for this defense.

Duds

NG Maake Kemoeatu. Got moved around a bit too much today. For a big guy, he doesn’t always seem to play with as much power as some other linemen. But his job is more or less to eat space and he does that fine. Still, the O-line moved him out of some holes and it resulted in good runs.

LT Selvish Capers. Well, if you read the studs part first you know why he’s on this list. Not a good day by the rookie. Allowed Holliday to get into his pads a bit too much and he did not set quick enough, either.

G Edwin Williams. Was a bit off; lunged a couple times and dropped his head on at least one pass protection, leading to more troubles. Williams played well vs. Buffalo, but he was not impressive this morning.

RB Keiland Williams. His problem at LSU? Fumbles. What did he do this morning when hit by H.B. Blades? Fumble.

WR Brandon Banks. Beat Ramzee Robinson on a go-route, but had Richard Bartel’s pass slip through his arms. Looked like he could have caught the ball. Earlier, attempting to block Justin Tryon, he was thrown to the ground. I’ll have a little more on him in my notes/analysis.

PR Terrence Austin. He dropped two punts in a row, both times he had to move a little bit to catch them. He’s shown good hands during training camp, but this was a rough day.

RG Chad Rinehart. Seeing too many guys muscle him back, whether it was Phillip Daniels or Jeremy Jarmon or, really anyone. Jarmon stunted once to his hole and moved him back far enough that Richard Bartel could not step up and to throw. It resulted in a weak pass that Robert Henson knocked down.

LB Chris Draft: Just doesn’t look as fluid in coverage and does not move as athletically as the other linebackers. His strength is special teams, but he still needs to show he could possibly help at LB. Today, he was beaten right off the line by Davis, who never attempted a fake. He just ran past him.

NOTE: In case you missed the notes/analysis from last night; here they are. And here’s a story on Brandon Banks.
