Practice today
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 5:46 pm
Well the kids and I stoped by practice for near an hour today on the way from target shooting, and here is what we saw.
While I was hoping to see some Field goals there were none. it was typical BG weather a fair cross wind and the kickers were working on kick offs. Now it was hard to udge how into these kids were and I hope they were not as the kick were all low with little hang time (3.6 sec on average) some were nice high, hung and long. hopefully those were demonstrations of what to expect and not the prior.
Some real good tackeling drills and our RB's have some explosive speed more than I could to hope to see from two of them...the kind that makes you go wow, or holy s**t. when they hit the line make a move and accelerate causing guys to takel air behind them kind of explosive speed. you will see and hear more I am sure after the game.
Passing and recievers...well lets talk throwing motion. the ball by two of our QBs is held very low, then when brought up (the majority of the time more on this in a sec) ends up being tossed side arm. now it was as if when theese two (could not make them out but one was AT nearly positive) the ball came up to his ear, with a perfect motion and follow through. Velocities were all slower than Omars youll notice this too come spring game, but I am confident this will increase with time, and who knows our starter may not even be on the field yet...its possible.) accuracy was not an issue for all but one of the guys in blue. Timing seemed off between QBs and recievers and looks like our recievers are recieving alot of instruction so again confident that this will increase.
our lines o and d
Seem faster to me and more athletic than last season, they dont seem to be clamoring around but instead moving with determination and confidence. I see no problems here...except for our guy on crutches...but he will heal prior to wisky. he may even find himself with some unexpected competition when he heals...
