Man the corners look a lot less erratic. That's a good sign. I know people are going to complain about Blake beating Oliver, but Oliver never looked panicked in a trail position against a faster WR. That's an improvement. They don't look grabby or panicky in less than ideal positioning, which has not been the case in a while. If this can translate to Sundays, I'll be really happy.

Gage and Brian Hill actually look really good in this video. I'm excited for the former, and for the competition the latter might deliver.

Truly. Even on Oliver's route, you can see he's playing his leverage cleanly. Blake gives him a jab step and Oliver never flinches or reaches for contact. In a real game, that route is going to his help. On Sheffield's pick, it's the same thing. He's right in Ridley's pocket that when he goes to make the double move, he's right on him and turns with his eyes on the ball. No panic.

Lots of crossing routes, some stretch run plays and playaction. Did someone send Dirk home for the day?

Who was that at the end of the clip on Julio that just got bullied

[falcons007 19,703]

Sheff is gonna be a very very good CB. He and Terrel on the outside on base. Oliver and Terrel in Nickle with Sheff in slot will be fun to watch.

Where’s denard 

[NorthGaBoy 1,061]

Gage put a wicked move on a DB.

[1989Fan 15,137]

People were way to quick to sleep in Sheffield the past few weeks, thinking he was suddenly a rotational piece behind Oliver, Terrell and Dennard. I said before the teams perception of him made the Tru decision possible or at least easier. He will be on the field a majority of the snaps IMO.

Yeah their technique does look cleaned up. Something interesting Kazee said today in his press conference. He said in the past the DBs were taught to "wait for the ball". He said Whitt is teaching them to " go and get the ball". Thats showing in every video so far. That kinda answers why they could never get turnovers in the past, they were playing passive on the back end.

[gHost83 1,109]

Becoming a common theme McClesky burning mfs deep. Had 3 steps on his man. Dark horse to make the team. Doesn't have much versatility but the one skill he does have you can't teach. Mind numbing speed....

Seeing more and more of Hawkins at corner... 

Also good to hear Miller making plays also.

These cuts are gonna be hard man. I like a LOT of fringe guys this year. McClesky, Robinson, Senat and the list goes on... Gonna be interesting...

I don't understand waiting for the ball.  Is that hoping for an errant pass while putting in little effort?  I was taught the ball was mine when it was in the air and it was my job to prevent the receiver from getting my ball. 

I only played high school.  I did practice with the college team before I realized I could not work, take classes, and play football simultaneously.  One day a receiver started yelling at the coaches that I was doing something illegal.  I was just reaching around him when the ball arrived and stripping the ball out.  It was perfectly legal.  The blame was on the QB.  He was not leading receivers allowing the DB to swat the ball away from receivers who has slowed down or even stopped waiting for the ball.  But now that I think about it, was this a receiver who had never been stripped?  I will never know but he was hopping mad.  In fact, I think he did hop some while yelling at the coaches.

Loved what I saw from him last year he is a keeper.

He will be the vet the young guys need. I can see him play as slot CB. The CB Group is pretty deep, though young.

Sheff will probably one those guys you say... How did he last that long in the draft.

Took an injury to get on the field. I for one was a fan of tru but Sheffield is way cheaper.

Man, Gage out trying to collect playbooks at 1:10.

[FentayeJones 23,257]

Brian Hill looks explosive

[kiwifalcon 19,025]

Julio Jones for a guy that’s 31 years old and Father Time is meant to catch up with guys but he doesn’t look any slower or has lost anything in and out of breaks to me.

Maybe it’s just an expected thing athletically from this guy but physically he’s is not of this earth.Im expecting another huge year from #11.

I’d bet he’ll  be more than depth and a back up....dude is good
