Early practice notes, 8/27

Hey everyone. I'll add pics in a few minutes.
  • QB Neil Caudle worked an 11-on-11 drill during the early stages of practice. He was playing with an assortment of first- and second-team guys, so I didn't take his presence as a major development or anything.

  • The same drill featured Dontae Aycock as the "4" (primary back).

  • LB Eltoro Freeman was back on the exercise bike today with a cast on his right wrist again. I guess he's had a setback.

  • Trooper Taylor made me laugh. Montez Billings was slow to track a punt, which prompted Taylor to say: "I'm demoting you to scout team." Billings, of course, already is on the scout team.

  • LB Spencer Pybus was out there, but he clearly isn't ready for work. He wasn't wearing pads. He wasn't on or headed for Muscle Beach. I'm not sure what he was doing.

  • S Mike McNeil was on the exercise bike. That's the first time I've seen him do anything remotely physical since March.

  • WR Tim Hawthorne was working the JUGS machine. I don't mean he was catching passes. He was loading balls into the machine. He wasn't wearing his boot, though. I'm not sure what's up with him.

Ted Roof taking time to teach even when his players are stretching.



Here's Tim Hawthorne working the JUGS machine.



Here's DeAngelo Benton stretching before practice. He was the only wideout carrying a ball at that point. I'm guessing that's for earlier transgressions.

Well, I guess that's okay, then. I could have easily been a IV. I'm glad I'm not, as my HABOTN nickname could have been something like "Barney Chocolate" or "Jack Chocolate".

JGT,
Do you know who is running the @footballau twitter account?
One of the coaches? A student manager? The picture dude (TvE)?
