Had to leave just a tad early so someone cal fill in on anything I missed
QB: Scherer had the QB's throwing from the left hash 5 yrd line into a trash can in the corner of the endzone. Each one got 3 chances. Hansen probably got the closest then Schrock. No QB really got within a couple feet. The guy that got the closest was.... Rip Scherer on his one throw. Schrock played a lot with the 2nd team and he does remarkably well considering. He has the best throwing motion probably behind Hansen, maybe even ahead. Burnette kinda slings it from his ear. Hirschman was still held out
RB: I've been trying to think of who D.D. reminds me of and I figured it out. Not necessarily physically, but he runs exactly like Hugh Charles. Speedy has that burst. Lockridge was still held out.
WR: McCulloch seems to have dropped off a tad but is still running with the two's. He dropped a ball right on his hands in the scrimmage. The WR's were really impressive during drills thrown to the corner of the endzone. Darden appeared to have hands and hops in this drill. Spruce put together another impressive practice. He is probably the thickest and most built WR we have
TE: I think Bahr will get a lot of PT as a blocking TE. Still a focus of the Offense
OL: Hard to see here as they weren't in full pads. Mustoe needs a lot of weight but he has a nice frame.
DL: Bonsu has these skinny little legs and a large upper body. Pericak and Obi are HUGE. Kasa was still playing some DT. Chidera "practiced" a little today but didn't do any drills. He has doing some punting drills as a runner
LB: Major, RIppy, and Webb. Webb is a playmaker.
CB: Henderson probably got the most PT with the 1st team. He looks really good on bump and run coverage. He made a nice pass break up while covering Clemons. Vigo was the other CB and he split it with Hawkins and Olatoye. Orms was walking around a lot today and had a knee brace on for the first time
S: Rock solid here. Polk is positioning the DL and the LB's
K: The kicker's kicked some more today. Castor has a real wobbly ball. Oliver seems pretty accurate from under 40. They each alternated on Kick offs and Oliver actually got more depth on the ball.
P: Looks like Brundage was the odd man out. He didn't punt at all today from what I saw. Grossnickle and Darragh both punted really well today. Each downed the ball inside the 5. They were looking good today and I know some of the other fans were impressed
PR: All three guys (Richardson, Speedy, Goodson) look impressive here. Speedy muffed a punt but him and Richardson looked really explosive.
Overall, ST's was definitely the focus of practice today. Over half of the time was dedicated to Punt and Kick Coverage. Brookhart will really get on guys if they do not perform. Lots of ST specific drills like fighting through a block on kick coverage. If we have any hope for a bowl game, it will because of an emphasis on ST's. Or at least in large part. Gray, Goodson, and Jaffee were doing Kickoff returns. It's hard to tell on a lot of stuff tho because they were not fully in pads. I'll post more later tonight if I forgot anything. Go Buffs
