1) Howard

Details, details, details. OJ needs to work on his mid-range route running (particularly his hip level...needs to be better at dropping his hips and exploding into and out of horizontal stemming routes; Outs, Digs, etc). Run-Blocking, he needs to work on his hand position, head position, pad/butt level when Drive blocking in line. He needs to work on being more efficient with his footwork when trying to Reach block an edge on Outside Zone plays.

2) Evans

Concepts, responsibility & priorities, eligible awareness in pretty much all Zone coverages but particularly Quarters, C2Z, and certain responsibilities in C3Z (he’s ok at deep middle, ok at Robber, very good at Buzz...but he has shown some struggles in other responsibilities). He also needs to work on his propensity to bite on double moves in Man or window dressing in front of him when handling combo routes in Zone (though he definitely improved on that from A&M).

3) Godwin

This one is tough because he is so freaking advanced already. If I have to say something, I’ll go with polish/explosiveness on short speed-cut routes and technique when blocking inside players on run plays (target location/hands/leverage).

4) Beckwith

Consistent Zone drops/depth and awareness of illegibles behind him when he has Hook/in-cut responsibilities. Refinement and breadth of pass rush suite when he’s stand-up Edge in 3-3-5.
