I think Meeks makes the practice squad. Not sure over who, but I’ve heard nothing but glowing reports and he’s a perfect future replacement for Patrick as a depth guy.
I’m hoping for no injuries and no trick plays, except for a reprisal of the Jamo interception, but with TeSlaa throwing a completion on the first play of the game. Then I’ll be happy.
Major changes in depth chart after HoF Game:
Jones firmly ahead of Manu at OT.
Colon now 2nd team Center after Eguakun Sh!t the bed.
Eguakun now 3rd string guard and Niese 3rd team Center.
Awosika now firmly the 3rd guard after Mahogany and Ratledge.
Rock Ya-Sin now a roster lock and bein cross trained as Safety to take Iffy role.
Jones started the game ahead of Manu and then in today’s practice Jones played ahead of Manu at LT.
With Skip out and starters not playing in the pre-season Manu should start Friday.
He should get extra reps this week in team period while Decker is going through acclimation period.
This will be a big week to either climb to 2nd team or get buried on 3rd team.
Manu plays mostly LT but this today from Justin Rogers: “On Sunday, Manu saw a little more action on the right side, still with the second group”.
It appears that Jones will be the 2nd team LT while Skip is out and the 2nd team RT when Skip returns.
A few other Practice notes from today:
Tim Twentyman: “With Decker still not back doing team portions of practice yet and Dan Skipper (ankle) out for about a week, it was veteran Jamarco Jones taking reps at left tackle with the first-team offense. Manu did work in some reps with the first team as well but he’s still got plenty of development ahead of him”.
Jeremy Reisman:
*Depth chart shakeups
Along the offensive line, we saw a few changes on Sunday. For one, with Taylor Decker still sitting out team drills and Dan Skipper nursing an ankle injury, it was mostly Jamarco Jones as the first team left tackle. That said, Giovanni Manu got a handful of reps with the ones as well".
Jeff Risdon: “The first-team left tackle reps in team drills primarily went to Jamarco Jones, who also aligned only at left tackle during the 1-on-1s against the defense (more on that below). Giovanni Manu took second-team reps, followed by newcomer Justin Herron, who also saw some action at right tackle in his first practice”.
