First, let me start by saying; I am no Hardy Brown.
I am here for the next three practices and this morining was my first. Here are my 'random thoughts"
I left the glamor boys alone and focused all morning on the OL. Fellow fans, we have a OL coach. He is constantly teaching; I heard him yell three or four times when the OL did not finish plays. Mostly he coaches in a soft voice; the lineman seem very focused in what he is trying to teach; it is funny to see these huge guys looming around Looney and leaning in to hear and see.
Lutui has a lot to learn. Well and Big are our best and Big has never looked better. He was blocking Berry, individual drills, and just shut him down; he looked pro-bowl to me in is footwork (very quick and ballanced), blocking position and arms/hands.
Lecky just looks too small, Step was OK but nothing stood out. While watching the centers during individual drills, I did notice one thing. Gabe Watson is the real deal. He was just blowing them up and driving up the middle; you will have to double team this guy.
Our RT position is a freeway to the QB, Okeafor was looking like a pro bowler against whoever lined up there.
I have never seen a better team up here at Flagg, that includes the way they practice (hard with lots of energy) to the basic look of the players. There are beasts EVERYWHERE!
Note on Edge; this guy practices hard, every play. He slipped today and went down hard after a 6-yard gain to the outside. You could see the turf give way under his cut and he went down awkward and bounced and rolled. While I was swallowing my tounge, he bounced back up and ran back to the huddle. The next play was a swing pass to the right for number 32 who got about eight-yards that he finished with a diving extension of the ball out of bounds. Sheesh! What a stud.
Parting shot; after morning practice was over, Berry, Okeafor, and Dockett pulled off ther pads and just the three of them went to NE corner of the playing fields and started running sprints up the hill at the edge of the field; a very steep 25 yard rise with pines on the top. The ran about 5 of them while I watched and were still running as I turned to leave.
Ciao from the pines in Flagg!
