OTAs Week 1’s Practice Notes & Highlights: Trevor Penning moving to Right Tackle

Lol for real. What else can the man do? Fly? If he still has secret tools in his arsenal that he hasn't unveiled yet then the dude is Neo and this is the Matrix.

SP and Pete were pretty creative when it came to using Taysom. We've seen him do everything. I'd like to see him do everything more often. Except maybe special teams. I don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze on that one. Line him up all over the place on offense and get him the ball. Use him as a decoy. He's such a unique weapon. It will be interesting to see how he's used going forward.

Fullback is an interesting idea. He can get a short yardage carry here and there but he could be lethal sneaking out of the backfield. Nobody thinks that much about the Fullback and they end up open with no defender in sight. But I'm sure defenses will pay more attention to Taysom Hill. He's not exactly Tom Rathman getting lost in the shuffle.

You nailed it. The only thing left for Taysom to really “do” is see more volume. We were seemingly afraid to have high volume, featured players under Carmichael…it was very abnormal, almost surreal at times, how he sometimes felt EAGER to get a player out of the lineup as soon as we started getting something going.

That’s a stark contrast to what we saw in SF, and hopefully that mode of operation finds its way here.

I felt all last season that we needed to start to feature Taysom a lot more. Obviously be smart with it and keep him healthy, but the guy could use more touches. He is absolutely special with the ball in his hands. I also think Shaheed needs more touches, especially underneath and on screens. He’s another guy that is a big time playmaker that needs more volume rather than spot duty here and there.
