During individual drills, Denzel Mims has taken Jameson Williams’ spot in the rotation in receiving passes from Jared Goff. And we also saw James Mitchell was splitting reps with Brock Wright at the second tight end spot (Sam LaPorta takes TE1 reps), which is a new wrinkle. Mims is slowly working his way up the depth chart and with Antoine Green not practicing, he is getting more looks.
Gibbs starting to look like a weapon in space—quick to break runs outside, really tough to cover in space. On a route, he got loose down the left sideline and was three steps ahead of Malcolm Rodriguez, but Sudfeld was looking the other way and never saw him. That could have been the biggest play in camp if Sudfeld simply turned left.
Overall, the run game has still looked subdued, though there were flashes. David Montgomery had a few runs where he picked up chunk yards, showing nice pop to break it outside. Craig Reynolds showed good patience to press the line and find daylight. But for the most part, the big holes resulting in big gains have yet to materialize.
The two biggest plays of the day came in the passing game from uncommon sources. Goff hit Trinity Benson on an important 23-yard gain during the team’s one-minute drill, while Adrian Martinez hooked up with Derrick Deese for their own 20+ yards gain. Expect more offensive production when the team shifts into more offensive-friendly practice formats in the coming days.
