PonyFans.com offers a peek into the goings-on at practice, including a look at some of the new guys:

The entire team — including starting offensive linemen Kelvin Beachum, Jr., and Blake McJunkin — open practice with special teams drills, many of which focus on blocking and tackling.

Defensive coordinator Tom Mason was none too pleased Monday with the defense's display of how much of the play book had been absorbed, resulting in a healthy dose of push-ups and up-downs.

If you're talking about Londy and Johnson, I didn't get the sense that either was dragging more than anyone else — it was just really hot, and the media is limited in the areas we're allowed to go, so when the water coolers are moved to where we are, you know you'll be able to get pics, because everyone is conscious of hydrating as much as possible.

okay, cool.
those pics make sense now. they're still great.
actually, I think it was Holman's pic that struck me. but, it was probably just a moment for him.
thanks.

Great pics, thanks for all the work. Was Arthur Londy a late qualifier? I thought there was speculation he wasn't going to make it.

Has anyone else noticed how many coaches, including JJ, tend to wear long sleeve sweatshirts to practice? Has this been discussed beore?

I particularly liked Hunt's expression so I grabbed it for my avatar. Hope you don't mind.

Makes perfect sense, considering the heat and the extended exposure to the sun. I would hope Coach Jones would make it mandatory, although it's hard to envision Coach McKnight wearing anything with any sleeves.

It does make perfect sense. Maybe they can take that next step and put on some fleece jackets and wool caps. Maybe some down-filled hunting pants.
