[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 623175"] Judging from week 1, I think we can conclude that it was a coaching and motivational mechanism and not the ultimate measuring stick. At various times Gunter held the lead in terms of preseason snaps; Goodson won the star rating contest going into preseason week 4 but was dinged up and couldn't go. Goodson was out there today at gunner, however it was Randall getting the call after the Bear's first possession despite an inauspicious preseason. Putting the investment on the field to find out what he could do appeared to be a consideration. I don't know if anybody noticed, but the starting base defense had Richardson at safety with Dix, and Hyde on the perimeter with Shields. After that possession, Randall took a lot of snaps on the perimeter in nickel with Hayward getting snaps in base, while Hyde worked at nickel/safety with Richardson getting safety rotation snaps. They didn't throw at Randall, so that's a gold star in his favor, though it's hard to tell without going through the all-22 to know how much safety help he was getting. On the couple of obvious isolation plays he looked good; his play on the ball on the deep sideline to Forte was not exactly elegant, but he had the coverage and got the job done. I didn't see him in on the support much. On one occasion he did come up to the line in edge contain and got blown back 5 yards, so the physicality issue remains a concern particularly in a CB crew that's not very physical to start with. All in all, a pretty good performance, and for a pleasant surprise. He got some snaps against Jeffery, but I'd say most were against the other guy. We'll see how he does against a steady dose of better competition. [/QUOTE]
