Dave Lapham was on hand to witness the physical escalation firsthand, noting the immediate shift in energy and physicality once the pads came on.

He also notes the buzz surrounding a great reception by the up-and-coming tight end Mike Gesicki. Defensive Line Improvement: "Shamar Stewart, signing his contract on Saturday and stepping on the field on Sunday, made a huge impact on the defense."
