10 Observations From Practice Yesterday

[Planter's Punch]

Has there been any experimentation of moving Line from RB to LB?

[ponyswim]

Yesterday LIne was very much involved both carrying the ball and receiving. Don't know about the option to move to LB - it seems like they have a lot of guys that could be ok at those 2 linebacker spots, and no reason to think he would be an upgrade. I think he has a body/skill set that they may need on offense - blocking/receiving/possibly short yardage running. He is not ideal for what they need on Offense but maybe he is the best guys for certain situations in 2015.

Thanks for the update.

Did they have the pads on, and were doing actual hitting

I have made arrangements to use my private SW Airlines jet to zip down to Dallas on April 18 and watch the spring game.

Are you kind enough to bring 150 of your closest friends?

[mrydel]

Yep. And a personal flight crew that I will ask to cater to us all.

With the exception of a couple players, I haven't heard much about the corners and safeties.
Thoughts?

Yes.

8-10 guys seemed to be wearing yellow jerseys so they weren't really participating in any of the drills although lots of them were doing various other "cardio/strength" activities during practice.

That was the thing that got my immediate attention as I turned off Mockingbird onto Bishop. Players in full pads (helmets, shoulder pads, pants with hip pads, knee pads, thigh pads and butt pads) going full speed. Had not seen that on our practice field since in-your-face football.

Bus will be happy. Add tackling drills and he will be very happy.

And you won't even be reserving your own seat. Magnanimous, I say.

Cortland Sutton was so impressive at practice, his talent and physical gifts were glaring. He is going to be a serious player for us the next few years. That was the most evident takeaway from practice.

Also, looks like Shaq gained some weight- he looked good at the star.
