My apologies if these impressions are not as detailed as in years past.

The team returned to 7 x 7 drills, and I got my first good looks at Quentin Meeks The first play, he had responsibility on James O Shaughnessey. O Shaughnesey ran an in that took him from the right hash to the left sideline, and Meeks trailed the entire time, having good coverage but still allowing the completion. Then he had a brilliant PBU down the right sideline on an out. Bouye had a great PBU over the middle. Chark was noteworthy in this drill for a couple of reasons. First, he had a nice catch on a short crossing route. But also as important is where he lined up. Again, they went to that bunch formation, and he lined up in the far inside slot, and the middle X receiver positions.

11 X 11

Marqise Lee beat Tyler Patmon deep down the left sideline, but the pass was broken up because it was underthrown. Lee got up slowly and was favoring his shoulder. Patmon later had a nice PBU against Chark on a pass over the middle.

Thanks, Bullseye!

I know Cole got some looks from the slot. What other receivers did you notice getting looks from that spot?

As indicated earlier, they did a bunch of work out of the bunch alignment, so on any given play, there might be two guys playing in what may be considered the slot, even if one is on the LOS. So I did not take an official census of every slot WR on every play. On plays where my focus was on a defensive player like Bryan or Harrison, my priority was to find them.

That said, given the traditional paradigm of the diminutive slot receiver, I found two players being the middle of the bunch, Chark and Lazard, IRC, to be interesting. I did not discern any rub or pick action in their routes, though it is possible I missed it given the angle.

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
