Only three things really jump out at me on this:
1. Brandon Fanney is working with the second team defense while Jerrell Harris Dont'a Hightower is with the first team. I don't know if I'd read this to mean "Harris is our new starter at Jack," but Fanney really is a better fit as a rush end, honestly, while Hightower can provide pressure in the backfield while also holding his own in pass coverage as an OLB. I'll also note that Eryk Anders, who was probably our best pass rusher at LB last season, is also with the first team.
2. Marquis Johnson is still with the first team DBs while Barron and Scott are with the No. 2s. Not to dog on Johnson, but anyone with eyes watched him get burned downfield repeatedly, especially against Florida and Utah. I constantly lamented that we needed to find someone to come in at CB while Arenas moved over to Star that didn't represent a drop off in ability, but looking at this it seems the coaches are happy enough with Johnson to leave him there for at least the scrimmage.
3. Terry Grant is back with the 1s. Which is where he was last year, but the big part of his yardage came as a receiver and he barely saw the field last season. I hope they can find a role for him somewhere in the offense, because I just plain like the kid.
