Monday practice obversations
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 2:56 pmMy observations
QB's - We had 6 qb's practicing. Don't know all their names but logan turner looked to be by far the most accurate. They kept running a 10 and out to the sideline and Logan kept putting the ball dead center on the out of bounds line where no one but the receiver could catch it with one foot in bounds. saw this throw made about 15 times. Other qb's too high or out-of-bounds on that throw. All performed well throwing over the top or crossing pattern. I just saw a noticeable difference in the 10 and out throw.
Receivers - I know its early but the recievers are dropping a lot of balls right in their hands. I'm sure JJ is going to work on this a lot.
drills - Coach Gansz ran a tackling and trapping drill for about 30 minutes where two players ran down like on a punt or kickoff and they had to trap and tackle player. The players really seemed to respond to this and enjoy it. He did keep reassuring them that they would get this technique down where no one would ever get by them, like they so often did last year.
defense - the defense ran different stunts and blitzs that wasn't broadcast to everyone on the field. You never really new where the blitz was coming from.
Linebackers - Smart looked good at MLB, looked like he was moving real comfortable in this position. Odairi was also watching from sideline, nice strong looking kid.
CB's - all that needs to be said here is that they were playing up on receivers. ( what a novel idea)
