Okay, since I appreciate all the reports from the rest of Stingtalk, I will keep giving information when requested for my one visit to a practice.
The rush by the defense was very good and imposing. Even though the rush of the defense did not reach the quarterback every time, it caused them to get a lot of penalties from offensive line movement. The defensive rush was very quick, so it made the quarterbacks have to hurry all their plays.
I believe the reason the offense ran vanilla plays had a lot to do with keeping players healthy and not putting the runners at greater risk of injury. The basic running plays will show the determination and skill of the runners better than a lot of variation of plays.
There were no kickoffs, nor punt returns allowed. I believe this was another effort to keep down the injuries in the Spring game.
Both Michael Sampson and PJ Daniels looked good running the vanilla plays. Both looked quick hitting the hole and strong when running through the line.
All quarterbacks were hurried on all passes. That is one reason, I believe, the defense will be pretty good this year. The coverage by the defensive backs was tight and not as loose as last year. At least, it appeared that way to me.
