10 Observations from Day 1 of training camp – therams.com


7) While Goff and Woods got Talib then, the cornerback got his later in the 7-on-7 period. On this particular play, the defense had strong coverage on all the receivers. Goff rolled to his right and looking to make something happen, threw a pass intended for Woods in the end zone. But the ball floated, Talib camped under it and picked it off — running up the left sideline. As he walked back following the play, Phillips gave him a fist bump. Goff later joked in his press conference that he told Talib he threw it to him on purpose.

8) During that 7-on-7 period, punter Johnny Hekker was on the same field booming coffin-corner punts down the field on the left side. Some of the punts were going 60 yards in the air, with Hekker standing at about the 50-yard line and the ball landing out of the end zone.

9) Henderson made a couple of nice plays in 11-on-11 drills that illustrated his versatility out of the backfield. Keep in mind that he made the plays while on the second-team offense facing the first-team defense. But on the first play, Henderson motioned out of the backfield and then caught a pass in the flat. Then on the next play, he caught a screen on the left side. It’s not a direct comparison, but as general manager Les Snead has said, Henderson does bring that “Alvin Kamara element” to an offense. He should be fun to watch with pads.

10) At the end of practice, Goff and backup quarterback Blake Bortles participated in a friendly competition of target practice. Goff fared a bit better than Bortles in their respective attempts with assistant QBs coach Zac Robinson feeding them the footballs.
