Not a ton of notes from today as I spent almost all my 25 minutes of open practice behind the lens of my camera. But...
- Cristobal said that the team really hit the ground running today with this camp. He said that it seemed a more finely tuned operation than last year.
- Troy Dye said the freshmen as a group look "ridiculous" I think he means good.
- Herbert thought that this fall camp was starting out faster than last year because of all the work they put in the offseason in the playbook, etc. That was reiterated by many of the players I talked to today.
- Sean Dollars was the only frosh I got to watch today and man, he may not get into the 2-deep, probably won't. But he is farther along than most every other freshman I can remember at RB. Maybe Royce was further along on Day 1 but not by much.
- Great interviews today but not with everybody I requested. I asked for 8 guys, did about 8 interviews, but only 2 were with guys I requested. Lots of fun regardless...I like talking to the college players
- A few new drills today that we saw. One was that they started practice by tackling bags. I like when they are fairly physical right off the bat...sets a good tone
- The more I watch Mastro the more I like him. Don't get me wrong, I love Gary Campbell and will always admire him and be his friend. But that doesn't mean another coach like Mastro can't do a great job too.
- Talking to the WR's about Coach Boughnight I like what I'm hearing. The guys say he is a perfectionist...just what I feel the unit needed. So much WR talent, now let's see some production.
- Lots of pics today, lots of interviews. It will take me a long time to get everything out.
- All for now
