Haven't really seen WR Hill and am looking forward to it....

cuz Alyo has been talking him up to me since we signed him...and I'm very curious to see if I agree with Alyo on Hill.
Duke & McRoberts are interesting to me cuz they have very sure, vice-like hands when they catch. They are strong to the ball....
which as an old/ex QB I value greatly! Spruce and Higbee have the same style of catching - Hemingway was a revelation in the practice we saw...he got a tone of targets and caught all of them downfield(nothing shorter than 12yds. iirc)
The locks from our returning WRs are Britt and TA...without a doubt. imo
TA has adopted Britt's vocal style and it's great to see his leadership along with Britt...always pushing the WRs to do better.
I liked that. Cooper is okay, but doesn't stand out to me. Thomas and Quick drop balls for every catch they make. I don't like that and I think it's getting to them....both. They will start to press and then things usually get worse. I sure hope the coaches calm them down, but I understand the nerves for Thomas...but not Quick(and I'm one of his biggest advocates for years). But, Quick is bringing nothing these 1st year rooks aren't bringing...so, I'm ready to move on I'm sorry to say.
As for the LBs, 43....I'm not worried at all. Honestly, Tree and Barron are true forces. imo
You have to remember also that GW knows how to use these guys and is not doing what our LBs do in PS games so far.
Our Front 7 look very vanilla in PS games and we all know GW does waaay more exotic blitzing which can be maddening but also very7 effective in getting good match-ups for our defense.
Ayers was surprising in his coverage at 260lbs, he's not an All-Pro..I'm just saying he moves really well and was effective downfield. Littleton and Lynch were very active in pass coverage - which I like greatly. As I said, these practices are for gauging passing and covering...that can be judged reasonably. imo
