CatMan's 10/21 practice observations

Stopped by practice again today, still seems like Moore and Clausen are getting a pretty even number of snaps which makes me think the door is still open for Clausen to take back over.

Passing game still looks rough, seemed like Moore was only able to connect on about 1 out of every 10 attempts. At one point, they were doing 1 on 1 drills with a DB and a WR and they went through 5 or 6 reps before Moore was able to connect with a receiver... Clausen didn't look much better and had a ball picked in the 1 on 1 drill, I was standing a good ways away from the action, but from what I could see the receiver was running a slant and the DB got inside position, but Clausen threw the ball anyways (reminiscent of the pick he threw in the Bengals game on a slant to 89).

Pike and Clausen took turns running the scout team. They had a player out there running around at WR with a red # 15 jersey on which I assume was to mark him as Crabtree. Had a few other guys wearing red and yellow jerseys over their normal jersey, saw a # 20 (Gore) and a # 85 (Davis).

Speaking of Davis, Thomas Davis was out on the practice fields running around today (rehab) and looked good. Didn't see him take any actual reps with the rest of the team.

Didn't see Beason out there today, didn't see him out there last Thursday either... wondering if they're giving him Thursdays off?

Dan Connor had a pick from Moore in his hands but couldn't squeeze it and Smitty bent down and caught it.

Clausen spent some time just taking snaps and handing the ball off to a HB while Moore and Pike were throwing passes in the 1 on 1 WR/DB drills, assume they're working on his fumbling issue.

for some reason the bends from radiohead went through my mind as i was reading about the passing game. it's so horrible. the pressure is just too much for either guy. i don't see either one doing particularly well this year. i'm staying away from moore vs. clausen arguments now because i hate debating over which turd looks better. both smell horribly and stick to your shoes. at least clausen could evolve to something respectable. moore has devolved.

re: davis, was he wearing the brace? he better have been.

    • I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.
    • I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.
    • From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
