The first day of practices here in Mobile have come and gone which means every single person in attendance has created their initial impressions of the player pool and will look to build upon their evaluations throughout the rest of the week.There were some obvious stand-outs http://www.chargersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-trevor-williams-jersey , but for every exceptional performance on Tuesday, there was also an equally abysmal performance by someone else.With that being said, here are my “winners” and “losers” from the first practices at the 70th annual Reese’s Senior Bowl.WinnersDE Montez SweatSweat made himself a lot of money this week before ever having to stepped on the field at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Just by standing on stage and letting himself get weighed and measured, his expected draft stock crept up. When it was announced that Sweat was a true 6-foot-6 and 252 pounds, there was an audible reshuffling in the room as the entire auditorium awed at the physical phenom.Using those lengthy 35 5/8th-inch arms, Sweat embarrassed multiple linemen with his incredibly-effective long-arm stab. The most impressive of them all being this rep against Alabama State tackle Tytus Howard.If there was anyone in Mobile who was “as advertised”, it was Sweat. He loo, and played, all the way up to his lofty expectations.DT Daylon MackThe former five-star recruit out of Gladewater, Texas finally looks to have made things click this season after two underwhelming years at Texas A&M. At 6-foot-1 and 320 pounds, Mack looks like one of the purest nose tackles in this year’s draft.In 1-on-1’s against the offensive line, Mack had his way with whomever happened to line up against him. His most unfortunate victim was Alabama center Ross Pierschbacher. In one specific rep, Mack marched Pierschbacher four yards back before putting the linemen on his hind end.C Elgton Jenkins - Mississippi StateWhile many came into the Mobile with the impression that North Carolina State center Garrett Bradbury would be the runaway favorite for top center in this year’s draft, Jenkins’ performance on day 1 may have many double-checking their evaluations.Jenkins showed outstanding power at the point of attack and usually looked like a man among boys during his 1-on-1 reps. He showed a stout anchor and usually used his strength to settle speedier rushers down without having to move his feet all that much.At 6-foot-4 and 312 pounds Desmond King Jersey , he has excellent size for the position and will likely continue to be one of the biggest risers through the rest of the week.LosersQB Will Grier - West VirginiaGrier came into this year’s Senior Bowl with all the confidence in the world. According to my good friend Mark Schofield, Grier said that he doesn’t understand all the preconceived notions that he has off-the-field issues or that his arm strength isn’t up to par with the rest of the quarterbacks. He quickly followed this up with the claim that he has the best arm of the group while maintaining that he is the top passer in this year’s draft.If he wishes to make his claim a true one, he’s going to have to come out firing on all cylinders from here on out. Grier was consistently throwing passes behind his receivers, wide open or not.It was also quite noticeable how uncomfortable he was under center. Hopefully the former-Mountaineer can reign in some of his passes and start walking the walk along his boisterous talk.OG Dru Samia - OklahomaFirst impressions of Samia on day one were about as mixed as they come. Since yesterday’s practice, I have seen multiple statements regarding Samia as one of the better players from the first set of practices but I have to go in a different direction. I stayed mostly with the offensive linemen through practices and I didn’t see any player more frustrated with himself than Samia.The 6-foot-5, 304-pound guard looked overwhelmed against most of the defenders he went up against, including Texas A&M’s Daylon Mack and Florida State’s Demarcus Christmas.For a member of the country’s best offensive line unit, it was just an underwhelming day for a guy I held in high regards coming into this week.CB Kris Boyd - TexasBoyd made his presence known from the start practice, especially during 1-on-1’s where he displayed some physicality that isn’t normally expected in early drills. Early on, Boyd caused an incompletion on a crossing route, colliding with the receiver and sending him spinning into the turf. He celebrated with hand-clapping and some barking, to boot.However, Boyd spent the rest of the day get exploited by some of the quicker receivers, specifically Ohio State’s Terry McLaurin who dusted Boyd on a go-route and caught a beautiful ball in the end zone by Missouri’s Drew Lock. Boyd has one of the better reputations among the defensive backs here in Mobile. It would not be surprising to see even more scrutiny for the former-Longhorn if he doesn’t have a bounce-back performance in today’s session.Surge or Static: Have a day Authentic Russell Okung Jersey , Rookies! Man, does it feel good to write this up following a win, and after a pretty solid one, at that.The Chargers came out and, at least in the first half, did what everyone expected of them. Putting up four touchdowns and strolling into halftime with a 28-6 lead that they would never relinquish. We are only two games into the 2018 regular season and the Chargers’ rookie class has already exceeded most people’s short-term expectations. On a defense full of play-makers, it seems like the only ones making splash plays have been the newest of Chargers up to this point.Are you a fan of foreshadowing? Because if so.....SurgedS Derwin James / LB Uchenna Nwosu / LB Kyzir WhiteHoly Shmoley...did you guys see what these rookies did on Sunday?If you didn’t let me throw out the dirty stats for you:White - 4 total tackles, 3 passes defensed (led team), and an interception that helped shut down Buffalo’s late momentum.Nwosu - 3 total tackles, a tackle-for-loss, and his first career sack which came after he logged just two snaps against the Chiefs in week one.James - 8 total tackles (led team), a sack (leads the team with two) , and a pair of tackles-for-loss.If you throw on the tape, you would actually see several plays where James should have had another sack or two. In the first quarter http://www.chargerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-michael-schofield-jersey , James penetrated so fast on a blitz that he tackled Bills quarterback Josh Allen before he had a chance to hand off to LeSean McCoy. Due to the play being a run by design, James was only credited with a tackle-for-loss.Later in the game, James and Nwosu committed a rookie blunder at the same time as they both whiffed on a “gimme” sack of Allen.Although this play might incur some cringes from the audience, it luckily didn’t define their play on Sunday.Overall, it was a stellar performance from this rookie trio. Both the coaching staff and fan base should excited as hell about these guys, regardless of how small the sample size is.WR Mike WilliamsAlthough he had just two targets against the Bills, Williams did everything he could to maximize his limited opportunities.On his first catch of the game, Williams caught his first touchdown of his career. The play, as we would later find out, was drawn up specifically for Williams when the team got into the red zone. Williams pulled in a beautiful pass by Philip Rivers, holding on to the ball while getting smashed between two Buffalo defenders before he hit the ground. For fans, this was exactly what everyone has been waiting to see from last year’s first-round pick.His second and last target of the day was a catch for a first down where Williams lost his helmet due to contact, showing once again what he can do with his large, powerful frame.StaticMelvin Gordon (as a runner)CALM DOWN!I made this one highly-specific because there weren’t really a ton of poor performances in this game for the Chargers but it’s still a large enough problem that can’t be ignored.For what I believe to be the first time in their time together Caleb Sturgis Jersey , Austin Ekeler received more carries than Gordon in a game. Also, in what shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody, Ekeler was once again much more efficient with his carries as he took his 11 carries for 77 yards while Gordon managed just 28 yards on nine carries. Take out his touchdown run of 20 yards and Gordon averaged just one yard per carry.Thankfully, due to his elevated prowess as a receiver and his nose for the endzone, Gordon was able to doll-up his performance against the Bills but those who dig deeper will still uncover a problem that Gordon hasn’t been able to shake, even in his fourth year as a pro.DT Brandon MebaneMebane’s place under “Static” is not so much for his performance taking a step back, but for the fact that it’s been far too long since he showed any signs of taking a step forward. Week after week the observations and comments about Mebane’s play remain roughly the same.“He gives up ground far too often.”“He can’t hold his ground anymore.”“He offers no penetration.”Over and over these statements are recyled and I can’t help but think “the writing is on the wall” for the veteran. Mebane’s poor performance is only highlighted by the elevated play of the youngsters around him. This year’s third-round pick, defensive tackle Justin Jones, flashed the ability to collapse the pocket and create pressure up the middle.Who else do you guys think surged forward with their play on Sunday? Who do you think stayed static, or even took some steps back? Let’s talk about it. nflshopoutlet.com
