Lots and lots of scrimmage time today
QB's: Hansen had a better day today. When he throws to the WR's, there is a good chance it is completed. Hirschman still in a boot. Schrock seemed to have trouble getting the ball off and would have to tuck it and run. The coaches did not like that.
RB's: Didn't see Speedy at all today. I don't think he was injured but the only action he got was in punt return. Tony Jones ran for a couple nice runs for Td's early in scrimmage play. He is fast. Harrington has some trouble fumbling and Bieniemy was not happy. I really wonder who our FB is gonna be next year
WR's: Gray dropped two easy passes today, one of which would have been a TD. Richardson was held out of practice, but it looked to just be a minor leg injury. Toney also didn't play much later in scrimmage play. I think they wanted to get the other guys more reps. Cefalo and McCulloch were the guys who replaced them.
TE's: Bahr had a pretty nice catch down the left hash. Deehan felt Embree's wraith when Sandersfeld barely touched him and he fell down and fumbled. He had to do up downs after this
OL: Early on in scrimmage play the right side of the OL was blowing up the DL resulting in a couple Tony Jones TD's. I think we'll run a lot behind Harris and Miller. Kaiwi went down with what appeared to be an ankle injury but it didn't seem that serious as he was walking around on it later. Munyer looks like the starting C but they kept alternating him out with Handler. I really wonder what happened to Blake Behrens. He went from starting as a rsFR then now is backing up two freshmen at Guard
DL: Embree was not happy with DL play today. He had to kick the entire starting DL multiple times for not stopping the run. They did get quite a few "sacks" today with CHidera and Pericak leading the way. Pass pro does not appear to be our OL's forte. Goldberg also had some nice TFL's which drew praise from Embree. It looks like he definitely earned his scholly
LB's: Didn't notice much on them today. Woodson Greer did some more position drills but the S&C staff had him doing suicides seperate from the team.
CB's: Brownie had them doing an interesting drill today. Each DB had an eye patch on one eye and a tennis ball in one hand. He had them backpaddling and trying to catch the ball during this drill. Brownie was pretty pleased with the effort. Henderson with the most PT again. Olatoye was getting burned. Sandersfeld just makes plays. Orms was back out there again
S: Still solid here with Perkins and Polk. Terrel will make plays but still seems to be a liability in coverage. Harlos was still held out
K: Oliver made two 48 yard FG's to start practice. Him and Castor alternated time during scrimmage time. I think Oliver went about 2/3 from around 42 and Castor about the same. If Oliver misses, it's close.
P: I was expecting to see teh Punter situation settled. No one appeared to have won the battle today. I still think Grossnickel is #1 with Darragh close behind. Both kicked it into the endzone during pooch punting drills making the entire team run.
Some other notes: Saw Coach Bob Simmons? at practice today. The offense was pretty bad today. It was really sloppy and a lot of coverage sacks. Kyle Washington made a really nice play during punting drills to down the ball on the 5. Bieniemy, like yesterday spent time on the tower. You could hear him yelling and cussing from up there. Once he came down he was not happy. He said, "we need some real men to stand up." I really like our offensive staff, it seems to be a team effort re: play calling and coaching. He called the entire offense over after practice to have a seperate talk with them. When the team huddled up all I could hear Embree say was, "we will win same games this year," and "We don't do that here at Colorado." Sorry that's all I could really catch. I'll post more if I remember. GO Buffs
