Though it’s much too soon to make an official statement, it looks like Tony Pike is separating himself from the pack and will be the starter for Saturday’s game. As I noticed yesterday, he has the best arm of the crew here, putting good zip on intermediate throws and outward-breaking routes. He showed a good command of the offense, throwing with good rhythm and completing a number of passes downfield. Behind him is Dan LeFevour, who sometimes struggles to drive the football on the longer passes to the sideline. He wasn’t quite as consistent today as he typically is, but has the best chance of unseating Pike as the team’s best. Sean Canfield showed poor arm strength and inconsistent mechanics, chucking the ball all over the field, missing wide open receivers. Looking to build off a great end to his senior season, Canfield has done nothing in the first two days to solidify himself as anything more than an undrafted free agent. In Monday’s recap, I wrote that Mardy Gilyard would need to turn his week around to impress as many thought he could. On Tuesday’s early practice, he did just that, impressing on a number of occasions. Blessed with quick feet, he ran precise routes and consistently broke free from defenders, making plays in the process. In one battle against Syd’Quan Thompson, a player that has impressed some this week, he shook off press coverage at the line and beat him for six. I did see him drop a few balls on the ground again today, which is something he needs to correct.
