I shot a lot of video during the open practice and I'm spending today transferring it all over and putting together some longer clips for you guys, but one thing it is giving me a chance to do is to watch everything again from Friday night and although it is just one practice you can pick up on certain things. One thing that looks apparent to me watching things over again is that Jamardre Cobb just looks more engaged than I can ever remember. It's not that he has been checked out mentally before this but I think it was just taking time for things to sink in for him and that feels like it starting to take place now. The players have talked about being more reactionary with the new staff and it feels like that is what has really clicked with Cobb. He was getting some run with the first unit during the live period and playing that middle linebacker spot is tough on a player mentally. You have to know a lot and what I feel like I'm seeing from Cobb right now is someone who is thinking less because he has a better feel now. He wasn't making spectacular plays Friday night, but he feels more engaged is the word I would use right now and that could mean some good things looking toward the summer and fall.
