Still can't seem to contain the edge.

After watching the center yet again, I must concur with the person who in another post mentioned the head swiveling. Just before snapping the ball the center's head turns then is looking forward again. This tips off the defense. A nose guard or other defender can use it time a very fast attack into the back field and disrupt a play before it has time to develop. I'd say count to ONE when the center's head comes back from it's turn and hit the line like a bat out of hell. I hope the coaches realize this before games start. Maybe the O&W game will reveal the weakness of this behavior and force a change.

I see Coleman is still getting burned...

I love seeing the level of intensity they are practicing with. I also noticed the coaches coaching every player on every single drill. There seems to be a purpose in being out there now!

I thought the exact same thing.

Right now I think the focus is intensity, conditioning, and fundamentals. I think with scrimmages thing like containing the edge will be learned and coached. I they have the right idea right now learning how to win and working hard. I am glad to see a lot of emphasis being put on tackling. This team will be at a whole new level by June. Also Coleman needs to move to Safety my gosh that guy could cover his own legs.

I was looking at Mel Kipers latest NFL Mock Draft and he has Patterson going at #23 to the VI-Queens and Hunter going to the Patriots. Both in the first round!!!

there are a lot of teams that do this, there will no doubt be some type of count associate with the different plays.

Marlin Lane sure looks a bit quicker.

Coaches better watch out swinging those pads around. Look what just happened to Rutgers coach.

at a glance, looked like Brewer couldnt get off his blocker.
