IMHO, most training camps go with there veterans and projected staters longer to get the reps in camp. A rookie must really shine in limited # of reps.
How many reps did each get in training camp?
I can't answer this one, it's something only football teams do, maybe you can answer it ?
How many tackles did each make?
Not sure, Scanlon had more tackles than Mitchell did in less time during preseason games. And yes, Mitchell played against 2nd and 3rd string players as well.
How are they working both of them in practice?
As of the start of the season, the 1 or 2 practices per week are light and in shells. The starters get the bulk of the work for game day preperation.Backups are used mostly on scout teams drills.
Who is practicing with what unit?
Rich was selected for practice team beginning the year, thus running the scout teams drills, not ours, there fore not able todo anything with our 1st team D. Currently he is on the team due to injuries, awaiting time to play and still runnning scout team drills and playing on ST's.
What kinds of plays are they giving each person snaps on?
I haven't a clue as to what this is ?
Is Scanlon good at following the run?Yes, reports out of college was he was excellent against the run and good tackler.
Can he stay at home on misdirection?
Reports out of college said he was very smart and disicpine when caught in a mistake, he recovers quickly with good angles to the ball.
Who can block him and who can't?
Reports from college , Anybody, but it's not easy, he uses his hands,arms and feet well when sheading blockers. I read somewhere he was 3rd in the nation for individual tackles ( season )
Can Scanlon play special teams as well as Mitchell?
Yes, very good special teams player in college, currently playing ST's with the Chiefs. Has good speed, eludes blockers and a good tackler, the same qualitys that made him a top MLB in college.
Can he play the same position?
Again, I haven't a clue as to what you are asking, but I'll take a stab, can he play MLB and ST's , yes and yes.
Does this clear anything up for you ?
