BLITZKRIEG
~LACUNA LEGIONS~
They started off today running the normal 11-11 run / pass drills, no contact, and no pass rush, just working on some basic timing...
- Hot day, nice size crowd, and the offense is finally drilling on the close side today, cool!!...
LOB PASS DRILLS
Just your basic lob passing, 15-20yrds down the sideline, no cov, no pressure on the QB, just the same warm-up stuff they do everyday...
- OL / DL go off in different directions, and drill alone...
- LB's off on the opposite field working various drills...
================
~ STRETCH ~
================
- DL goes opposite field, along with the DB's / LB's, and they all start drilling...
- OL heads back over to the sleds, working alone...
- QB's / WR's working on some roll-out passes, no cov, no rush, simple throws. Everyone looks pretty good here, no drops, no bad throws really...
-----------------------
- WR's start working on some blocking drills, no big deal really...
- QB's practicing handoff timing with the RB's / FB's...
------------------------
- WR's practice some 10yrd turnaround routes, not the easiest drill, but considering there's no coverage, you don't see many drops or bad throws. Another simple, and short drill...
- QB's start throwing some 10yrd out passes, no coverage, no rush, more of the same, but just a different route for the WR's. The timing looks good, and the WR's are making the catches. Pennington has really looked solid these last two days in my opinion. He's not giving any ground to Henne that's for certain...
- DB's / LB's / S's on the opposite field all drilling together. It looks like they're setting up various packages, and getting everyone familiar with them...
- All the skill players on offense start working on some redzone drills. The QB's each are getting an opportunity here, and the WR's are all running various routes at once. All 3 QB's make this drill easy, completing everything...
- On a sidenote, there's one WR who is really standing out, and it's rookie P. Turner. He's been making great catches all camp long, and is really starting to look like a draft pick for us. He may not be the fastest WR out there, but he knows how to use his size, and he catches everything. He's had a great camp thus far...
-----------------
~ WATER BREAK ~
-----------------
OL / DL / LB's start competing in a match-up type drill. A lot of hard hitting going on here, and some attitude being displyed as well. This was pretty cool to watch, I think anytime you get guys who are that big, colliding with eachother head to head, it's entertaining...
- DB's / WR working together on coverage drills...
There's a lot happening all at once right now. There are groups of players spread out all over the place, all doing various drills...
-------------------
~ 11-11 ~ Run Drills

END OF PRACTICE
Today was a long day, they practiced for well over 2 hours. It was good day of work in my opinion. I feel like the offense is making small strides, and Pennington is certainly looking solid right now. The running game is still an uncertainty at this stage, but they've certainly been working hard at making it work from what I've witnessed...
Sidenote : There's a team scrimmage taking place tomorrow at 2:00. Finally, some real contact!! I'll give my thoughts / opinions on how it goes tomorrow night. Until then, take it easy, hope you enjoyed it...
