Practices notes

[rayzor]

Wasn't the problem with that CB a matter of Smitty thinking that Lucas wasn't giving his wholehearted best.....not that he was doing too well?

i heard it had nothing to do with on the field stuff...more lockerroom...kind of.

don't think so....like Rayzor said....it seemed to be the culmination of a bunch of smack between the two over time

that and it being a 137 degree humid day in August

[rayzor]

i'd say i remember it being massively hot and humid that day...but that's pretty much the story every day at TC in the bowl.

i think we were actually in the shade that day...on the other side of the fields. the players pretty much had full sun, though.

very vivid memory.

YA dont think it was lack of effort, 27 was around the ball a lot imo.

Im glad Norman is looking like he's got the potential, but this is very early for people to be thinking he's going to be ahead of Hogan on the dc. That may very well be the case, but its just way too early. Right now, Im happy he is showing something.

Better be careful with what you say to Smitty. Lucus wasnt the first one he has gone after

[Argus Plexus]

Where is Joe Adams

[Mr. Scot]

Where is Joe Adams

He actually looked pretty good.

[Argus Plexus]

He actually looked pretty good.

Did they do any punt return drills? I don't care about his receiving skills as much as his returning skills translating to the NFL. We drafted him to be a punt returner.

Many, many thanks to the various huddles attending and posting about the OTA practice. Much appreciated to hear everyone's impressions and opinions.

No actual "full blown" returns. Mostly just catch-and-runs with two gunners running down.

He looked very fast and elusive running patterns though (again "shorts only").

This. I look for the staff to bring him along slowly as a WR, but if he flashes game breaking potential, I also expect them to find a way to get him on the field on offense for at least a handful of snaps per game.
