Studs
Backup centers. Will Montgomery and Edwin Williams both look pretty decent. Montgomery has worked with the second unit all camp, but Williams looks techinque sound, especially in the one-on-one battles. His hands are in tight; his balance is sound, enabling him to react well. And, might get ribbed for saying this, but he’s got a good butt. Allows him to anchor well. Montgomery sets well. Both had good mornings.
DE Brian Orakpo. In the one-on-one drill, he beat Chris Samuels with a spin move to the inside. That’s enough for him to be placed in this category. Now, what does he do when his first move is stopped? Haven’t seen that yet. And can he make that move in traffic? Don’t know. But so far so good.
RT Jeremy Bridges. Still not sold on him at all, but he did a decent job on two blitz pickups against the No. 1 defense. But I’m not going overboard on him, mainly because we later saw him lunging and falling to his left on a goal-line block attempt.
LB Robert Henson. Had a nice pop on RB Marcus Mason. But Henson later got picked by the TE and allowed a completion to the back.
S Kareem Moore. Drilled WR Marko Mitchell, drawing oooh’s from the crowd. Need to put myself in the dud category for initially crediting Michael Grant with this hit. I’ll blame it on the sun.
Duds
RT Stephon Heyer. Before he bruised his knee, he allowed an inside pressure to DE Renaldo Wynn, who would have nailed Jason Campbell (who completed a deep ball to Antwaan Randle El on the play. But in a real game? it’s a sack). Heyer hasn’t looked bad, but he still needs to show better getting out at linebackers. Heyer whiffed on one attempt.
OG Rueben Riley. Rookie DE Jeremy Jarmon slapped him around on two occasions during one-on-one work. The first time he slapped him away en route to the inside and on the next one he did the opposite.
DE Rob Jackson. Got stopped twice by Devin Clark. Jackson flashed early in camp; haven’t noticed him as much lately.
QB Jason Campbell and Chase Daniel. During a drill in which the QBs throw to a net with three targets on it, both of them hit the target on only two of seven throws.
