    Training Camp Day 5

    I got there about half way through the 1st session and stayed till the end of the 2nd session:

    Devin Lewis and Tony Tompkins sat out with injuries, Ed Hervey hurt his leg during receiving drills and sat out the last part of practice, the injury did not look serious.

    Coaches became more vocal over errors, both coach MacDermott and Coach Kepley did some yelling when the players they were coaching were not doing things right.

    Didn't see any field goal kicking but the punting by all three kickers was inconsistent, one great punt, one flopper. Rinse and repeat.

    Shannon Garrett and Davis Sanchez made impressive interceptions in offense vs defense drills.

    Receivers looked good, especially Jason Tucker, got open, caught everything.

    Chris Kelley was moved up to the 1st team receiving corps (along with Mookie, Hervey and Tucker) and played wide side WR.

    Running backs looked good running and catching the ball, Tim Blackwell looks very fast especially in the open field. The one guy that didn't look as good to me in the running back pass catching drills vs linebackers was Bertrand, his initial moves were not nearly as good as the other backs.

    Mobes and McClendon got into it a wee bit in those drills, Mobes put the crappling hooks on McClendon when McClendon got a step on him, McClendon made a nice juke move on Mobes after a short pass on the next rep.

    Ricky Ray was impeccable in his quick reads and short passing game, didn't look as good on the few long passes he threw. Khari takes a long time to get rid of the ball, either he's not making quick reads or the receivers are covered but there is no way he'll have all day to sit back there like he was in drills. He did throw the ball well. Jason Johnson looked very good, both making quick reads and throwing well.


    During the break between session 1 and 2, Montford was working with Clinton Wayne on technique.

    I took a fair whack of pictures so I will post some in a later thread after I have cropped and resized them. (Curse those darn tv camera men, almost without fail if I found a good vantage to take some shots they's saunter along the sidelines and set up right in front of me.)

              This is very tough to tell, for one thing the Oline drills are often fairly far away from the side I have been on. Much like runningbacks we won't really know until the bullets fly in a game how things are going. Our 1st team oline looked good in the offense vs defense plays I saw. The second team struggled a bit vs our quick outside rush. (Adams and Jeanty both got around the end on one play and would have made a QB sandiwich in a real game.)

                man I think picking up Montford might turn out to be out best pickup this offseason, all are pickups are good, its just the expierence and leadership skills montford brings you cant teach that, like hes teaching them and showing ropes and most important leading by example all our younger guys will take what monty taught them and make them 100 times better then last year, cant wait for kickoff game 1 ! !

                    Yes Flemming was there, I missed the 1st part of the first session so I don't know if they were doing any fg kicking but all three kickers punted. All were a bit inconsistent, one beauty of a punt then one not so good. Between sessions Flemming and Post were kicking it back and forth, looked like Flemming was practicing directional punting or keeping it lower due to the wind.

                      Thanks for the update. In your estimation, do you think Fleming and Pasta can work together, cuz, I've been told that he can be a bit of a cad? How did Pasta look out there today?

                        should clarify, that I've heard that Fleming can be difficult to work with at times.

                          Flemming seems to get along well with the other kickers. Posterero (sp?) got some nice kicks off but some suspect ones as well. All three punters had great kicks and no so good ones. I did miss the very end of practice after the other players had packed it in when the punters were going to do more kicking so I don't know how that part turned out.

                              Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you insult him, you'll be a mile away, and have his shoes.
