Practice Ten, 8/11

Hey everyone. It's business time. No, not that business time.

Here's what You Need To Know:
    UPDATED: S Marcus Jemison had surgery today in Birmingham to repair a broken leg. It was not his ankle as first reported. I still don't understand how this injury fits into the fact that Jemison was brawling with H-back John Douglas moments before. I didn't see the play.

  • There were some nice plays by receivers today. TE Tommy Trott made a one-handed grab during 7on-7s. WR Rod Smith made an outstanding one-handed play for a touchdown from QB Kodi Burns. He dived for a ball that seemed to deep, deflected the ball up and made the grab as he was falling down.

  • LB Tray Blackmon had an interception. CB Neiko Thorpe made a pick in 7-on-7s.

  • Picture-perfect blocking from LT Lee Ziemba and WR Terrell Zachery cleared out a screen pass to WR Chris Slaughter for a touchdown.

  • DE Hot Carter was his usual dominating self during the pass-rush drill.

  • Hugh Nall seemed unhappier than usual with his linemen during the 11-on-11 drill.

  • C Jason Bosley worked on an exercise bike and jogged for a bit, but didn't participate in practice.

  • RT/C Ryan Pugh was back after missing one day with an eye injury.

  • Practice conditions were lovely this morning: 84 degrees, overcast, a gentle wind. ``They've got it too easy, these players," Tuberville said.

Hey Jay love the video just wonder if you could add a couple of more minutes to the footage. I understand you only can film the 1st 15 min.

Hey Jay....nice video. Is it just me or does pierre-louis look about a step faster than everone else on that drill. I mean Tommy Trott (good speed for a TE).....ok, but still faster than Fannin as well. Is he really that fast?

Can't add to the footage. 15 minutes isn't long.

"Frenchy Pierre" is very fast. He's also very small.

It's absolutely ridiculous to break you leg in practice...in a fight. How do you explain that to your parents or even your boys back home? Just ridiculous.

Marcus Jemison is a good football player and he has a bright future. But this is certainly sort of a shadow cast over his career.

I just can't believe the injury was from the fight. Those two things cannot be related ... right?

crudup: how does Jemison breaking his leg in during a football practice, fight or not, cast a shadow over his career? Football is a rough sport, surely you played with somebody who broke a bone in practice or in a game.

Michael Jordan broke a leg during his rookie year.

Bummer that he never became the player he could have been.
