re: Thursday's Big Cat drill (even more updates)

First, the ‘backers blitzed off the edge, with the running backs responsible for picking them up. Kwon Alexander shined here, getting to the quarterback a couple of times against both Terrance Magee and Jeremy Hill. He’s the most elusive of the linebackers, using his hands well to shun contact and create an angle of attack.

The backers finished up with the gauntlet drills the defensive backs did on Tuesday. Alexander looked the best in this drill, trucking through everyone and getting to the blue dummy quickest of anybody. Chavis complained that his teammates made it too easy on him, but I think Alexander made it too difficult on them. It’s going to be hard to keep him off the field in 2013.

Absolute physical specimen. Would've been all-world in HS if not for an injury. Going to shine as a playmaker at the LB spot for us.

Lorenzo Phillips also beat J.C. Copeland once to the quarterback. I only point this out because he was the only person to beat Copeland all day. Most of the linebackers got a victory or two, and most of the running backs got beat two or three times. Copeland just doesn’t miss blocks, but Phillips played it smart — riding Copeland’s block up field softly, letting Copeland overblock, then spinning back to get to the quarterback. It was a very smart move — using Copeland’s aggressiveness against him.

Copeland is such a hoss. You can tell how pumped the other players get when he squats in Big Cat.
