RENTON, Wash. - Returning to the field for their fifth OTA and the second session open to media, Jaxon Smith-Njigba stole the show snagging touchdowns in bulk for theWhat went down at the VMAC on Thursday? Here are five key takeaways from the latest open practice with thoughts from coach Mike Macdonald:Due to the restrictions placed on defensive backs during non-contact OTA practices, the rules have been skewed towards the offense in spring NFL practices.
"Shoot, it's great," Macdonald smiled. "JSN is a great player and expecting big things out of him, he's had a great offseason, works his tail off, his practice habits are awesome, moving ability is pretty elite, so I think we have a really cool plan for him.

3. For a second straight week, the same offensive line took first-team reps in a technique-driven session. "He knows multiple spots, so if you know what to do, it's easy to move you around," Macdonald said of Curtis. "I think the whole offensive line is one big piece, right? You're always trying to find the best five and the backup plan in case someone can't go, making sure you've got enough depth so you're not looking at the middle of the season with no options.

The game is slow to him, so to be able to communicate at a high level I think shows what it should feel like when he's out there. We have several guys that are like that, but J Love in particular is a guy that we'll be able to move around and change to different spots.
