Happy with secondary play. Burks, DeLoach, Pride and Charleston all of the secondary had pretty good coverage.
Was happy with Luke Bauer and Blake Craig even though the latter missed a couple of long FGs. He gave the impression earlier he’s not tripping on Craig’s misses as long as he can hit from 40 yards and in.
Mitch Walters had an ankle injury on his own and was supposed to only play special teams. He only got two days of practice to play guard. Drink called him the toughest player on the team. He said it’s easy to root for him. He starts on the shield and he’s the best shield guy in the country.
Mitch's playing led to Tristan Wilson being able to play as that sixth OL. Usually, it’s Walters in that role. Drink said Wilson is going to be a good player for them.
Cam'Ron Johnson and Norfleet are questionable. Norfleet had a non-contact jersey at practice. Ja'Marion Wayne (hamstring) was a full go and Drink is confident he will play. They just have to ramp him up on special teams to get Wayne ready to go. Wayne is someone who can play in the prowler third down package. He's going to need some more practices to see consistent defensive reps.
The Prowler package is a 3-1-7 quarters package. Allows defense to be multiple in pressure and be multiple in coverage while being able to stop the run because of the speed on the field.
Jahkai Lang had a sack last week. "All he does is get a little better each day and now he's a guy you can count on."
Joked that Carroll and Noel do everything right but line up correctly.
Kewan Lacy is explosive but he's fumbled in back-to-back games. If he cleans it up he can play meaningful snaps. Lacy looks for contact. He has "contact courage."
Drew Pyne has been so good. He said some fans on Twitter have told him to play Pyne over Cook. He joked that Pyne has more athleticism than you think and less than you hope for. Feels fortunate to have Pyne on the roster.
BC has elite OL and DL. "They have our full attention." They do a great job of creating different pictures with formations and motions. They use the fear of the QB running to do some things.
BC has created some plays Drink has never seen before with versions of jet sweep that allow the team to be able to run triple option at times.
Called BC "Wheel Central" for how much the Eagles run wheel routes with RB.
Mizzou fans have been so loud the defense has been using a silent count because of fans and he's happy about that.
