Better crowd on The Flats
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Moving quickly today, but with the anticipation of plugging back in later more frequently than the first three days …
WR Correy Earls is on The Beach, the first injured player to be spotted there. He has a hamstring pull. He’s not having fun working out in the sun. He’s about 15 feet from me doing crunchers. He’s lifted a lot, stretched some, lifted more, done crunchers, etc. It stinks being injured.
Tyler Melton has worked in his spot with the No. 1s, for the most part. He’s made a couple more nice catches, too.
Marcus Wright is catching the ball today. He struggled yesterday.
Good turnout, probably 100 or so folks, give or take. Lot more pleasant than in the scorching heat Wednesday, or to a lesser degree yesterday. It’ll be warm this afternoon, though.
My opinion: Among QBs, Booker has thrown the best ball since practice started, and by a long shot. Shaw’s had stretches where he’s been impressive. Everybody else is up and down, although Nesbitt has fired a few impressive passes — generally when he throws over the middle. On the long throws down the sideline, Booker has been head and shoulders above.
Running the offense, making the pitches, the decisions to keep or give, Booker’s not in the top two or three. Again, my opinion.
More later.
