Notes from the scrimmage today:

Mar 31, 2007, 4:44 PM

I watched a little bit of the scrimmage today for about an hour.

-Spiller wasn't there, as already noted.

-Jacoby Ford got the ball a whole lot which was good to see. He got the ball on an end-around at about the 10 yard line and scored. They were also throwing deep to him and throwing screens to him. An obvious attempt to get the ball in his hands any way possible.

-Our coaches are pretty intense. Tommy mostly watched and took notes, but everyone else was really making sure they were heard. Koenning flipped out a few times when players did something wrong. Rumph is extremely loud and the players listen to him. Dabo yelled at Xavier Dye for about 5 minutes for something he did wrong and then made him do about 20 up-downs. Jeff Ogren also ended up doing up-downs for some reason. Brad Scott got real mad at Thomas Austin for not being on the field when he was supposed to be. As Austin ran past him on the field, Scott said "I'll be seeing you after practice today, young man."

-Andre Powell is a really good coach. I think the players really respect him. We were doing goal line drills and every single time a RB scored, Powell would sprint from about the 30 where he was standing, to go congratulate them and smack their helmet. He did it for Davis and Ray Ray, but he also did the same thing when Paul Macko scored.

-Our kicking game is going to be an adventure again this year. Richard Jackson couldn't get the ball up and had 2 blocked, I think. Bucholz wasn't much better.

-There were a few fights that I saw. Barry Richardson and Cortney Vincent got into it for a second, but it was broken up. Strangely enough, Phillip Merling and Chris Russell got into a fight on the defensive sideline. Neither one was playing at the time and they were both on defense. Kinda strange.

-Deandre McDaniel looked really good today. He'll start this year one way or another.

-Ray Ray looked really good at RB. He broke off about a 50 yard run where he looked like he was stopped dead at the line of scrimmage.

-Aaron Kelly looked really good today too. Caught almost everything thrown near him.

-Sapp was a beast today. He had a sack on 2 straight plays at one point.

-All of the QB's played pretty good. Harper looked solid. Korn played almost exclusively with the 2nd team and made a few good throws. Even Tribble Reese made some good throws. Wade didn't look good, but they had him playing with almost solely a walk-on team. There wasn't a player on either side of the ball that I recognized while Wade was at QB.
