My final day at camp and I want to thank Phil Sullivan (Maxman) and the site for getting me access. Also a huge shout out to the Jets kitchen staff for the “restaurant quality” lunches they provide on a daily basis to the members of the media.<\/p>\n
General Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n – Players in full pads.<\/p>\n – Practice runs 2 hours 40 minutes.<\/p>\n – Matt Forte, Connor Harris (ILB) and Marcus Murphy (RB) sat out.<\/p>\n – Today was “red zone” day and the offense was out of sync. John Morton (OC) had his\u00a0“cranky pants” on and I wouldn’t want to be attending any of his meetings tonight.\u00a0Very weird day for the offense, the OLine and RB’s performed well but the QB’s and\u00a0WR’s weren’t on the same page. Also, strangely the TE’s weren’t thrown to as much as the\u00a0first four days and the offense stalled.<\/p>\n – Todd Bowles also wasn’t satisfied because after practice the whole team had to run gassers.<\/p>\n Player Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n – Jamal Adams practiced but about half way through he was on the sideline and didn’t participate \u00a0in any 11 on 11 periods. This left Marcus Maye in charge of the secondary and he had another\u00a0good day. In 1 on 1 drills he showed CB coverage skills and during one red zone period he almost\u00a0had an INT of Josh McCown.<\/p>\n – Ardarius Stewart “flashed” in 1 on 1 drills with acrobatic catches from McCown and Christian\u00a0Hackenberg. He showed good ability to adjust to the ball in the air and make difficult catches.<\/p>\n – Chad Hansen unfortunately wasn’t as lucky as he probably had the “practice from hell”. In one\u00a0period of 11 on 11 he was told to run laps on three consecutive reps. In two reps he made assignment\u00a0mistakes and in the other he dropped a pass. Hopefully someone gives him a hug and some ice cream\u00a0tonight.<\/p>\n – Elijah McGuire continues to impress with his ability \/ willingness to run through the middle of\u00a0the line. And today he flashed his receiving ability as he was excellent in “wheel routes”.<\/p>\n – The OLine during the 11 on 11 periods provided enough time for the QB’s to throw and was able to\u00a0get movement in the running game. In 1 on 1 drills they were able to battle the DLine to a draw in\u00a0the reps. Props to Brent Qvale, Brian Winters, Wesley Johnson, James Carpenter, Kelvin Beachum and Brandon Shell.<\/p>\n – Frank Beltre (OLB) the LB signed out of the CFL “flashed” today with some Dwight Freeney type spin\u00a0moves as he impressed in 1 on 1 drills. Let’s see if that continues.<\/p>\n – Morris Claiborne continued his good camp with excellent coverage throughout all the drills. He almost\u00a0had an acrobatic INT of McCown in 1 on 1 drills but the ball came out when he hit the ground.<\/p>\n – Julian Stanford (ILB) had an impressive day showing physicality in the 9 on 7 running drills. Then in\u00a0an 11 on 11 period he had a “sack” with a well timed blitz.<\/p>\n – In the kicking competition Chandler Catanzaro was only 3 of 6 where Ross Martin was a perfect 6 of 6.\u00a0And on his 55 yard attempt Martin hit it with plenty of room to spare.<\/p>\n – The more reps Dylan Donahue gets the more you see his pass rush ability. Today he got a “sack” during\u00a0team periods.<\/p>\n – Demario Davis had another “pad cracking” hit that led to a sack during team periods. Will he keep this\u00a0up?<\/p>\n QB’s<\/strong><\/p>\n – With them being out of sync with the WR’s no one can be “applauded”. There were some nice throws from\u00a0Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg in various 1 on 1 and 7 on 7 periods but the goal is to be consistent\u00a0and that didn’t happen today.<\/p>\n – Hackenberg continues to maintain the technical improvements that I saw the first four days. But to be a #1 QB\u00a0you don’t get a “trophy” for maintaining your fundamentals. He needs to be judged on production just like any\u00a0other QB.<\/p>\n
