WINNERS
James Pierre: Not a ton of bright spots tonight in this forgettable finale. But Pierre played well. Focus was on run support and tackling, an aspect we noted in the offseason but one we hadn’t talked about much this camp. He was a sure tackler and aggressive in his run fills and support. Gotta play the run to play on this defense regardless of your position. Good way to show a well-rounded game. Barring a big-name outsider coming in, this team has to put him in nickel packages to start the year.
