Douglas McNeil indeed caught the coaching staff’s eye on Saturday. We didn’t get a chance to talk to Carroll after Saturday’s practice, so I asked him today about the performance on Saturday of receiver Douglas McNeil, who is trying to make the team as a free agent. McNeil had a couple of noticeable catches on Saturday in which his 6-3 height stood out. Said Carroll: “He’s doing stuff every day. It’s those kinds of days and those kinds of demonstrations that really make you take notice. Now we need to see the consistency from him. But he has made some big plays. Just getting started but it’s a good start for him.’’

WR Douglas McNeil
McNeil not only had two of the best catches in practice, but he had them both against Richard Sherman. The first was in a 1v1 drill where McNeil got deep on Sherman and pulled in the pass despite tight coverage. The play drew oohs and ahhs from the crowd. McNeil celebrated with a little shimmy after. More impressive was a catch during team drills where he caught a pass along the sideline from Tarvaris Jackson. It came during the two-minute drill and McNeil almost stayed in bounds after the catch and tiptoed his way to the endzone, but the referee pointed to a spot where he must have barely stepped out. Again, coverage was very tight. Sherman does not get beat often in practice. I cannot remember the last time I saw him get beat twice like that.
