Summation:

1) Frackrell - Neal probably gone. Drafted him to play now. Very productive, versatile, Sam in a 4/3, edge rusher, drops into coverage well, runs well, high motor, great effort. Can turn the corner and flatten down. Can cover TE's. Hard working kid.

2) Kenny Clark - he's there to replace Raji - lots of snaps. But he's multi dimensional - not just NT also DE or DT. Versatile. Anywhere on DL. Any situation

3) Dean Lowry - Huge DE - Shonka selected him for East/West game - loves this guy - works 100% all the time - plays hard - fast - downside arm length but strong, powerful, relentless, smart, blocks kicks, 4/3 or 3/4 versatile

4) Martinez - Versatile, good in coverage, reactive, natural awareness, smart, instinctive.

5) Spriggs - 1st round grade, last of top group of (5) , terrific athlete, swing tackle, No 1 grade at the combine by Shonka. Contracts coming up. Loser of Spriggs/Bahktiari moves inside to replace Lang or Sitton if they leave, but Bahktiari says he won't play guard according to Shonka - not heard that.

6) Trevor Davis - Work to be done - Slender - Long threat - Will fill out - good hands - can fly

Free agents:

Geronimo Allison - good game East/West Shrine - has a shot

Herb Watters - Miami - has a shot

Dorleant - Northern Iowa - very high on this guy - very scrappy, return punts, Nickel corner type - can cover slot guys - really excited about him

B Brown - MS - LB possible

Brian Price - DT Texas - Likes him

Jackson - RB - Nevada - ok - good pickup

Reggie Gilbert - maybe

Basically see the FA's as fighting for Practice Squad.

I'd have enjoyed this more if the audio quality was better.

Did it sound differently than live, iTunes or on Pod app?
