Be easy on me gang
. This is my fist real attempt at a practice report.
Have to say that first practice was a blast. As always, enjoyed fun Jacket football talk with fans as we looked on with excitement.
Some observations on freshmen practice August 3rd:
1) Saw a lot of HARD WORKING men on the practice field. Even in the HEAT the guys really hustled. Didn’t see a lot of standing around. These guys were working tails off.
2) Hate to single out anyone honestly in first practice, especially when it was difficult at times to see other end of field where LB, DB, S, K, and R were. Zeb is BIG and athletic while looking in great shape. He and Kelly (walk on?) never walked. They hustled from drill to drill! Is Zeb really 18 years old? He’s a “head turner” in first practice.
3) Brazina, Mathews, and Pullen all looked to have good size while being quick and fast. Brazina is the bulky guy of the bunch, but don’t let that fool you. The big guy can move.
4) Hard not to notice Cooper at tight end running down the field deep to catch a well-thrown ball over his shoulder. SWEET! He is tall while looking fast. Got a frame to put a lot of weight on.
5) Watched Ace and Sampson a good bit. Looked like two super athletes with size. Ace reminded me some of Big Ed Wilder because of his frame.
6)
7) Couldn’t see a lot of R working out, but #85 and #81 where making nice catches. That’s McGuire and Bridges.
8) One of the better plays I saw was on a deep thrown ball out of the reaches of Bridges. He stretched out on the turf giving it his all. That ball didn’t have a chance to be caught, but Bridges acted like he thought differently as he pounded the ground getting up. The ball wasn’t caught, but have to LOVE THE ATTITUDE! Amazing he even got a fingertip on it. Like others out there today, HE CAME TO PLAY BALL!
9) Sorry couldn’t really see DB’s, Safeties, and others, but did notice I Perfection, # 11, is also a track man. He’s super fluid athlete.
10) Loved the attitude and effort this first practice.
11) Something tells me some guys are going to sleep well tonight!
