ENVIRONMENT
-Practiced inside for warmups and individual position drills then outside for group drills and scrimmage.
-Cold and Windy outside
-Loud Music during warmups and drills
-1st day in pads
OBSERVATIONS
-Myles Bryant at safety with 1st team defense.
-Haener and Eason both split time with 1st team offense.
-Eason’s quick passing game is a big upgrade over Browning. On screens, swing passes, slants, and out routes Eason is able to get the ball out of his hand to his receivers a lot quicker than Browning.
-Team looked excited to be in pads and get to hit a little. But overall practice seemed a little sloppier than the last few days.

PLAYERS WHO STOOD OUT:
-Elijah Molden- He continues to find himself around the ball. He had a fumble recovery and an impressive pass break up today. He could end up starting at corner or nickel and should be successful either way.
-Chico McClatcher- A healthy Chico could be a real difference maker on offense and special teams. He has looked explosive so far this spring and on Wednesday had a few good catches, a few carries on jet sweeps, and was back for punt and kick returns.
PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR:
-Sean McGrew looks good running the ball and catching out of the backfield. He should takeover the back up Rb spot and get a good amount of carries.
-Mosiah continues to look good rushing the passer from inside. He had a couple more sacks in scrimmage today. His quickness as strength makes him a tough matchup.
-Jacob Sirmon had a good day throwing the football today. His elite arm strength really showed up today throwing in the wind.
WHO WON THE DAY?
Defense- Offense hit on a few big plays but overall the defense was locked in. The amount of sacks and pressure the defense was able to get was a big difference maker today.
