good !!
Anyword on Ellison getting some reps ?
Pretty sure he caught a TD pass from either Cassel or MBT. Not sure if it was a 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 though.

If Bishop is currently working with the second team defense, who's the weak side LB working with the first team?

What baffles me is how the coaching staff is so confident that Henderson will be a good MLB when he was below average already as a Will LB. The mere fact that he is still on the team is astonishing itself.

He's cheap, and he's fairly young. He knows the system.
There's a reason they've signed him to back to back 1 year contracts. He has to really step up, or the minute they find someone better (not that hard) he'll be gone.

That's if Frazier and Williams allow Rhodes to play his style. For some stupid reason, since we incorporated the Tampa 2, our corners are not allow to play physical off the line. They're always lax and off 5-7 yards from the LOS before the play. We play a very strict defense that allows no free lancing, no matter how much we suck. I honestly wish we played more like Seattle, especially with two huge strong corners and press all day, but that's wishful thinking. Watch when the season begins how useless Rhodes physical play will become as he's asked to play off the LOS and only allowed to run with WR. Anyways, that's my depressing observation.
I hear you. But Frazier did recently say that he's glad they have an aggressive corner in Rhodes because of the kid's ability to play physical off the line. And Rhodes has been doing exactly that during camp, from what I've read.

Yes, almost too physical at times (he's been flagged at least once for it post-five yards downfield).
If they don't do more press coverage this season with both Cook/Rhodes my television will not survive.

They let Winfield move up and back in the system
and Smith does the same as well already. If rhodes
has good instincts I am sure they let him bump big
Receivers we play like megaton

I was at sat night practice and Chris Cook I thought played very physical, he is bigger than what I thought,maybe coaches will let he and Xavier play closer to line of scrimmage.

Looks like Burton might make the team
Again from the depth chart

Preseason depth charts mean very little.
