I like that 5.  Cole Huston can get some run at C, but I think Jake makes a big jump this year.  Absolutely love DJ in the 1st 5.
OL is a place where you see some injuries each season. Its good to know we have very capable backups to plug and play with.

Overshown was having a good game, but just left the field on a cart. Cowboys said it was a knee injury but the seriousness was not certain. He did walk off the field under his own power.

 
Any other scrimmages notes or thoughts?
- Ewers was the best of the QBs on the day, including a 60 yard bomb to Worthy.

- Baxter will be a stud, runs hard and continues to impress.

- Offense is coughing the ball up too much right now.

- Hill is the most difficult player to block off of the edge.

- Bledsoe is faster and more athletic than Collins, just not as big.

- Red still in a green jersey due to injury.

- Muhammad was better than he was last week with a forced fumble and a key pass break-up.

 
From today's TFB practice report. I was pleasantly surprised to see this. Been hearing his name a lot in the past several days.

"*** The first name that was mentioned to me about having a good day was DL Jaray Bledsoe. Surprising to me.

Bledsoe rotated in with the first unit, though spent most of his time with the 2’s and 3’s. Source told me Bledsoe couldn’t be blocked this afternoon and seemingly each time they looked up, Bledsoe was making a play in the backfield."
Alfred Collins has also been looking for good this Fall. Sounds like he has the consistency now to go with his flashes of brilliance. He will play inside in 4 down fronts and on the edge in 3 man looks.

Overall the D-line is shaping up nicely. Not the highest of high end talent but a lot of depth that can come at OL in waves.

Interior guys will likely be Collins and Byron Murphy with T'vondre Sweat as the 3rd option. Backed up by guys like Trill Carter, Sydir Mitchell (who will be an unmovable object occupying 2 OL for about 3 snaps at a time) and Aaron Bryant as NT type and Broughton and Bledsoe as DT types.

At end it'll be Barryn Sorrel and Ethan Burke with Justice Finkley as the 3rd guy who can play both spots. Kris Ross, J'mond Tapp and Colton Vasek will work in as subs as will some of the DT guys that can also bounce out to edge in 3 man looks. Billy Walton and Akana are also seen as guys who could develop into situational types over the season.
