Trench Men
The first half of practice both teams warmed up separately and only joined together for mixed 1v1 drills and at the end of practice they scrimmaged 11v11. Majority of the play calling was on the ground and the offensive line did not create many open lanes. George Fant played Left tackle in place of Becton’s illness and both guards Dan Feeney and Greg VanRoten struggled with interior pressure. Only a handful of plays stood out as the play calling was quite conservative, most likely due to the Eagles are on the Preseason schedule this Friday 8/27.
The offensive line struggled and let up 5 sacks, however Wilson was still very accurate completing 10 out of 16 attempts. The run game was nonexistent at times, only a few runs were decent. Zach Wilson was stripped twice due to pressure but did a good job to find his check downs and get the ball out quick
Players of Note on Offense
Corey Davis caught several passes and is building a nice connection with Zach Wilson
Elijah Moore was back on the field but very limited, made a nice sideline catch during 11v11
Tevin Coleman had the best and longest runs of the day, the rest of the RB’s did not see many open running lanes. Michael Carter saw the most reps with the first string and could have a significant role this season.
