Training Camp 09 In Pictures

[Findetta]

I've seen some of the other TC posts and I didn't know how much you guys appreciate photos so here are some. I will get better pics next time, today they were on the opposite end of the field aside from the special teams unit.

Bess Drawing a Crowd

Bess Signing more

Thats me with the floppy hat, I was bs'ing with Fields because I had nothing for him to sign.

Garner helped the "Wild Hog" but can he help the Wild Cat?

Sean Smith Signing

As I said they were on the opposite side of the field when I got there. More and better pics to come next time.

awesome man thanks for the post

 

[Findetta]

No problem, I used to go to almost every practice open to the public. Unfortunately I got a real job and they aren't practicing as much at night so I won't be able to make it to as many as I used to.

I'll tell you guys, it was a hot one. But it didn't keep the fans from coming out. 10 minutes after the 2:00 start time 10 people by me either left or sought shade. My friend that arrived about that time was told they couldn't enter because the facility was at capacity. Capacity is 2000, and as you can see from others pics and the one of Tuna in the cart people were watching from outside. I have been to the camp countless times, I knew the upper 2 rows got shade from the VIP section and I believe that and the water I brought in is what kept my girl and sister from going back to the car. No shot I was leaving.

Ok, football.
Pennington looked good for the one series I remember him in but didn't score.
Henne had a decent day and so did White.
Cobbs showed his speed and broke a lob pass for a long TD evading almost all 11 defenders on his way to score.
Carpenter missed wide right from the 27 but he made the rest.
For a complete breakdown of all 92 plays see I forget who's thread with the all 92 plays. Guy with that breakdown feel free to insert the link here.

I should upload a pic of the notes I took for you guys. They are dry now.
A couple more pics to come.

I probably will make it to a couple more open practices, I will keep you guys posted, I saw a couple FH guys out there, actually met one from Canada (Jonathan, where are you man?), guys feel free to post links to your threads, I'm off to watch the UFC fights, its another thing thats awesome, but doesn't top my team. Go Dolphins!

Channing and I don't know who signing, if you know please tell me.

Why there was still fans at the fence after practice I don't know.

The team about to break for the showers or come sign.

Cobbs and Allen coming over to sign.

Any guesses?

Pennington, Taylor, and Co heading for the showers.

I may go out there tomorrow and another that starts at 5 or on the weekend.
I'd say its safe to get there on time or later during the week although I have seen more fans out on any giving practice then I have in awhile. If going on the weekend its best to get there at least an hour before it starts. Even when its packed if you are patient and move to the play you want to sign, you should be fine. I take in my own water, I think its the same as the stadium, if its plastic and unopened you are good. Mine has been buried by mini helmets and such so I don't know for sure. Enjoy to whoever goes out and to those that can't I am editing a video that shows what it was like for the scrimmage game.
