After a tricky Friday follow for the offense, it was extra of the identical on Saturday, with a follow marred by false begins and turnovers.

In particular person drills, Lamar Jackson and firm appeared sharp. The franchise QB has clearly continued to develop his throws exterior the numbers, and his spirals appeared tight. Early on, Odell Beckham Jr, hair dyed a vibrant purple, was receiving tons of affection from the followers.

After a ridiculous one-handed catch in warmups, the joy across the celebrity free agent signing solely grew. What I discovered extra significant, although, was the function OBJ appears to be enjoying on the sidelines.

Now a veteran, Beckham should play the function of chief, and up to now he appears to be enjoying it nicely. Whereas he likes to have enjoyable, he was teaching the likes of Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor continuously, chatting with them after performs quite a few instances.

Talking of Flowers, the thrilling rookie reveals a burst, and whereas he isn’t the largest on the market, his fast ft enable him to create separation. He beat Jalyn Armour-Davis a number of instances, all on brief routes, exhibiting crisp route-running and powerful arms.

As soon as 11-on-11 matchups started, although, it was robust sledding in opposition to Mike MacDonald’s protection. Training third-and-long conditions, the defensive unit was solely giving up brief yardage.

The very first thing that jumped out was the linebacker unit, as Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen have been flying on blitzes. Off the sting, Odafe Oweh beat Daniel Faalele and Morgan Moses on a number of events. As many have identified this offseason, Oweh appears to be placing collectively a plan of assault.

With strain incoming, the quarterbacks struggled, totaling 9 interceptions on the day. Lamar expressed some frustration along with his 4, however the three from Josh Johnson and two from Tyler Huntley appeared to be worse selections. Huntley had one dropped snap, as nicely.

Within the secondary, Marcus Williams and Corey Mayfield Jr have been the standouts, each nabbing two picks. The defensive unit liked Mayfield’s efficiency on the day, and after his second interception, the workforce ran to the nook of the top zone in celebration. We’ll hope to see extra of the identical come September.

After follow was ended, although, the sentiment nonetheless appeared to be optimistic from TEs Charlie Kolar and Isaiah Seemingly. Whereas it wasn’t the offense’s greatest day, Seemingly put it nicely afterward:

“We didn’t lose, we simply discovered.”

Listed here are another fast hits and learnings I had from Saturday’s follow:

• Ronnie Stanley, JK Dobbins, Rashod Bateman, and Geno Stone have been some notable absences from follow
• Ar’Darius Washington had a terrific begin to follow, making a tricky cross break-up and an interception throughout 11-on-11 drills
• Tylan Wallace struggled with a couple of drops
• Tavius Robinson’s traits and measurement are as-advertised; The dude is big
• The connection between Jackson & Mark Andrews is as sturdy as ever. The 2 have been enjoying catch early and sometimes in drills
