First practice was in shorts and helmets as per NCAA rules. There is a transition period of several days before you can go full pads.
CCS said it was good to get started today. Chance for the new staff to get around the players. Said he loved the attitude and they went really fast and were locked in for the full practice.
CCS told the team it is about working on fundamentals from assignments to technique and they need guys to move around. Need guys to do the right thing.
CCS said he didn't want the players going crazy, wanted them to stay healthy and not do anything silly to impress.
CCS said LB is a position they need to stay healthy. Auggie Sanchez is out so they are working on stuff.
CCS said the OL is a concern depth wise. Looking to improve there.
CCS said loves the depth at WR, RB and QB, searching for players.
CCS said Quinton Flowers is learning a whole new offense and he is going to work hard. It was good to see him improve.
CCS said they like the experience with Bronson and MVS at WR been playing there and they can go fast because of them.
CCS said that Flowers will make it go, said they will scheme around him to make it go.
CCS said they need to improve the defense, gave up too many scores and improve tackling.
CCS said that 3rd down defense is a key, don't allow a team to convert on 3rd down.
CCS said the injured guys who were out are unlikely to return this spring, but they are getting mental reps.
CCS said he wants to see improvement everyday and wants stops on defense.
CCS said he was anxious to get out there. Said it was hard to watch the bowl practices and not help.
CCS said he loved the attitude and how hard the kids worked today.
Glen Bethel was practicing today. He is supposedly cleared by the school to play, but OL Michael Smith is no longer on the team per Joey Knight.
Several positive posts on Jernard Phillips performance here is a clip of him from a buddy.
Quinton Flowers said that the new offensive pace is almost faster than what they were doing before. Likes the new OC, Gilbert.
Darius Tice looked like he did pre-injury was the 2nd team RB.
NB Khalid McGee had a pick.
WR AJ Legree still has not heard from the NCAA on his petition for a 6th year. They are not very consistent in granting them to kids who transferred so he has an uphill battle. He cannot practice until his status is cleared up.
