Insider Report: Practice 8-9

Good ish CZY, great to see Joshua Stanford turning heads already. That is one reason I love getting guys from prominent High Schools, goes against good completion daily and that translates well at the next level.

And it's kind of bad that is has to be pointed out that Newsome is doing a lot of coaching. That might explain some of the past lackluster O-lines of his.

Brent's brother who passed away before he could realize his dreams of the NFL.

I was sorta thinking the same thing....locating the ball is a big deal....

Hey guys, I really appreciate you all taking the time to do these practice summaries. They are a great insight into the day-to-day workings of the team at this point in the summer, and are full of information that we would not be able to get otherwise.

Thank you again, and keep up the great work. This is a great site!

Three things I take from this.

1. I am not worried about Exum. If Torrian thinks he is in the best position to be great, I trust him. He is by far our best position coach and will have him ready.

2. Nic Acree's improvement was "dramatic"? This is fantastic. If he can be ready to in the two deep against BAMA with his size and athleticism we would be so much better off.

3. If we in fact are running more spread and no huddle this year like Stiney and the other coaches are saying, look for the line to be much improved.

And consider the edge rushers Nic has improved against. Guys like Corey Marshall are on the second team. We have sick DE's that he is blocking. Even our thrird team DE's are by no means bad.
