Odom runs a hook complete. Good hands catch. This is the one area Odom excels in like posting up but he needs more reps
8qb 16 beats 35 on a drag
16 runs a drag nice hands catch again.
38 catches pass in the flat ifo 90. To much cushion given by Watt. Coaches let him hear it too. Coverage skills need work.
11 on 11 red zone:
7qb 34 catches a screen shut down by 44
33 decent gain on cut back big block by TE Johnson
quick slant to 11 for TD. 11 has had more then 1 rep in the slot
19 on seam high points ball and perfectly timed TD pass with some serious zip on it.
slant to 84 TD good coverage by 31 but against AB good coverage isn't good enough
5qb BBD hits 8 hole solid block by Hawkins
35 on short gain stopped by 79
seam to 88 complete. Note 79 dropped into coverage. We may want to scrap that cover.
A gap dive and Big Dan plays right through Cooper n makes big stop.
BBD hits 5 hole but hole closed quick by 90 n 93
quick slant to JuJU another nice catch n another TD for the rookie.
Extra work: Harrison and Dupree working with Watt on pass rush and in particular top of the arc getting low using hands to play off being ridden wide. This is the key if flat out speed can not get you past the OT's outside shoulder. Nice to see the vets working with the rookie.
Summary: JuJu seems major league to me. Looks more veteran then rookie. Good skill set and should contribute early this year.
Houston has shown some improvement this week
Dobbs has been very good. Not facing much nickle and almost no dime coverage but still has looked more like a 2nd year player then a rookie. Accuracy is there and it has been good to watch. Quick decisions a big plus. Great start for this qb.
Matakevich appears capable of filling V Williams role. Made a lot of plays this week.
Hunter had a nice week. Looks solid n we could use him with Coates n Bryant at this point not on the field.
Alualu another solid pro who has helped me forget Cam Thomas by having a good camp to this point.
T J Watt worker grinder who has solid motor and seems to be getting close to making a bunch of plays this week. Should continue to
improve and will contribute early in 17.
Draft class and free agents are off to a good start. Further improvements are needed, I'm going back to work this week so I won't be able to catch the daily growth of this 2017 team though I'm likely going to the Meadowlands for week 1. Hope you enjoyed the write ups as I enjoyed bringing them to you. My buds at the Depo do a super job keeping folks posted on camp reports on a daily basis. Give them a look for additional Steeler news.
