Quote:All eyes are on the new safety combination of Dax Hill and Nick Scott. Through one week the results have been, well, fine. That’s actually a relief considering this marks the first week of playing together in training camp.
Neither has been all over the field making play after play, but there also hasn’t been a collection of busts. Most of the process involves going through minor teaching points of the nuances of the system and communication with each other, something Anarumo said he thinks has gone well. Specifically, with the veteran presence of Scott serving as a calming influence for the 22-year-old Hill.
Quote:That includes first-round pick Myles Murphy. His impact has not been as notable and he’s spent most of his time working with the second team — and even spending some time as the lead blocker on kickoff return.
All part of the process for a rookie in his first NFL camp.
“The first two days it was swimming a little bit, just out there,” Murphy said. “Now it’s slowing down a little bit and I’m seeing things.”
All hopes turn to next year
