Official Spring Practice Thread

The poor bastard, trying to usurp your throne as our resident "Eeyore".

Think about how miserable I'll be when we start losing again this fall.
 
I was planning on a longer write up once a week, probably on Fridays. I may sprinkle in a few short ones during the week if anything stands out.

I exchanged a couple texts with Waterboy this evening and here are some quotes to hold you over:

“The receivers look completely different. Manning is enthusiastic and looks fast. Betts looks stronger. Tour has a lot of respect already. They will be the most improved group by far.”

“Smothers threw well from what I saw but it’s Martinez show. He looked good and they through more deep balls today than they would in a week all fall.”

“Erwin is gonna be a beast. Can’t tell he’s a freshman. I thought he looked as good or better than the returners.”

“It’s been a while so hard to compare, but I thought everyone looked fast. Fresh legs maybe?”

There were a couple more about Nadab Joseph, Haarberg, Buford, the new ginger linebacker, and the offensive line but I’ll make you wait a couple days for those.

Dinner at moms on Thursday so I should get some more then.

Overall: Very positive and Kool-Aidy if you’re into that sort of thing.

Can we play "Tuesday Practice Nuggets" on here like they do over on RSS? lol joking, kind of. Appreciate all you and @Faux Sean Callahan do sirs! You are both gentleman and scholars.
 
Coach Huffman said of Zavier Betts (during his Junior year) He makes the hard catches look easy...and makes the easy catches look hard.
Let's hope he can make them all look easy this year!!

There are some freaks in the WR room, If 2AM can't get the ball to them this year, idk

encouraging that GA said Frost is letting them finish drills instead of focusing on fast. All I can think of is

I would do something like that if I got the nugs in real time. I spend maybe 4 hours a week with Waterboy and text a few times a day so what I report is second hand and pieced together.

I’d have him wear a body cam to practice but it’s probably easier to get a suitcase full of meth through TSA than it is to get a camera past North Stadium.

That reminds me of Niles Paul. I felt he got bored on easy ones.

Not concerned about 2AM.

NuFan told me a while back this was one of the changes he suggested.
