General Notes
- First day in full pads
- Practice ran for 2.5 hours
- Willie Colon was full go and took reps with the #1 OLine
at RG. Kevin Vickerson and Stevan Ridley are still out
- Jace Amaro "tweaked" his knee in drills against "air". It
looked serious because he spiked the ball in anger but he
shook it off and participated in the rest of practice
- Maccagnan made an appearance with his ever present Starbucks
cup
- Bowles concentrated on the offense particularly when Gailey
was going over blitz pickup
- Offensive emphasis was on the running game today
- Offense won the competition period today because the defense
did pushups at the end of practice
Player Notes
- With the pads on 1 on 1 blocking drills made an appearance.
Standouts were:
* Demario Davis, blowing up anyone during his reps
* Quincy Enunwa
* Jace Amaro, improved blocker who controls the defender well
once he gets his hands on them
* Jeff Cumberland, not as hideous as years past
* IK Enemkpali, violent bull rusher
* Darrelle Revis, delivered blows so hard you thought a LB
delivered them
* Wes Saxton, much better than his scouting report, functional
* Taiwan Jones, delivered blows like an ILB should
- Good jobs by a couple of UDFA's today Wes Saxton, Taiwan Jones
and Julian Howsare. Saxton's blocking was good and he's caught
everything. Jones was excellent in run defense today. And
Howsare got a "sack" of Ryan Fitzpatrick during 11 on 11's
- This isn't sexy but there should be a legitimate battle at
punter. Jacob Schum showed good leg strength and if he can be
more consistent than Ryan (Sir-Shanksalot) Quigley I would
keep him
- Dee Milliner was full go today and looked good during his reps.
His best play was a breakup of a 30+ yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick
to Walter Powell
- We started to see the Bowles multiple safety looks from ARZ today.
On some dime looks we had 3 CB's and 3 S's (Marcus Gilchrist,
Calvin Pryor & Antonio Allen)
- Solid day for Gilchrist supported the run well and decent in
coverage
- Rontez Miles had a couple of big hits during 9 on 7 running drills
- More interesting formations from Gailey, today he deployed Eric
Decker & Brandon Marshall in double slots in a 4 WR set
- With Devin Smith out Chris Owusu & TJ Graham are getting more
reps. Owusu had a nice 35+ yard catch from Geno Smith over Cro.
And Graham had a tough juggling catch over Revis during red zone
drills
- During 11 on 11 drills Bryce Petty hooked up with Quincy Enunwa
on a 40+ yard TD over Dexter McDougle
- Leonard Williams showed his ability to anchor against the run
today. Was able to hold his ground even when double teamed
QB Notes
- Geno Smith continued his good play. He had multiple TD's during
7 on 7 and red zone drills. His best play was getting the defense
to show their blitz, checking out of the play and hitting Owusu
for a 35+ yard catch over Cro that I mentioned before. His
chemistry/communication with Marshall is excellent. In one instance
when the defense took away an inside route Smith threw a back
shoulder throw and Marshall seemed to "expect it"
- Fitzpatrick had his solid moments but for a vet whose been in this
offense he was too sloppy. Twice he fumble snaps from center and
once he turned the wrong way on a handoff and the RB wasn't there
Standouts
- Geno Smith
- Chris Owusu
- Brandon Marshall
- Marcus Gilchrist
- Taiwan Jones
- Leonard Williams
Its just the first few days of camp, but the early reports are encouraging. This is why I was reluctant to cash in our chips on Geno after two years with limited weapons. Thats too soon to give up on a QB who has some plus physical skills.Which brings up another point that I'm really surprised about. No one is debating about Smith. He's put together two good practices, and from most of the reports I've read. had an outstanding practice today.

there's no problem with copying and pasting that here. The author left the link here. Same thing with any other article that gets posted.
If KRL hadn't posted it here, I would be uncomfortable going to JN and pasting it here. Maybe that's just me.
Love the way KRL just reports on several different issues equally .
Great job.
No remember last year's KRL camp reports as well as the media had Geno looking great too. So I am not going to pull out my Pom poms yet. I am cheering for him.
[MENTION=760]KRL[/MENTION] - if you see this, how does Geno look compared to last year.
the difference is rex's team everyone was a HOF player in the off-season
These reports were coming from KElRL and our own beat writers, not rex.

pretty optimistic view on smith less than a week into camp.. nothing wrong with that, BTW, let's hope for the best.. my take on smith is he can/has played competently when the lights are low.. he does have some talent.. when the lights get bright has been the problem..Ham, been saying it to anyone who will (still) listen. Just like you mentioned, he has physical skills and finally some weapons. I think Geno is a survivor and is going to make many eat crow. He somehow has survived missed meetings and multiple int games but comes back with the same positive demeanor. I got a funny feeling he becomes a pleasant surprise for us.
One of the funniest posts I have read in a while.As sad as it is for me to say Geno Smith may be the best QB the Jets have. It appears as though he could win the QB competition. God help all of the talent on this offense with Geno throwing the ball.
