First Units Impressions

I like what I saw from Chris Owens. He's got the speed to keep up.

Cooper looked fine too. It's basically Sean Smith who is the problem, as Parker shouldn't see too much time. Hoping that Gaines will take over Smith's job and perform well.
I'd like us to ease him in.

I like Gaines but he still looks lost out there. He hasn't shown anywhere near the same level of consistency and competency in coverage as he showed in college. I thought he'd struggle with WRs strong arming him, not with shadowing backup level players. He has a ways to go before he can make the active game day roster, much less make a start for us.

It's his 2nd preseason game. Give him time. Like I said ease him in slowly and surely and by the 2nd half of the year he should feel a lot more comfortable.
