Since I arrived late and had a terrible view I can’t remark too much on the practice. I can however recount a cool story after practice was over. My son and I were at the fence. He had a ball to sign and I had my Verse jersey. I bought it partially as a well planned idea, partially I just really like him as a player. I figured I’d have the only verse jersey at the fence. He was on other side of field and was seemingly heading off the field. I started waving my jersey and the crowd started chanting his name. He saw my jersey, smiled , and jogged over. My son and I got to meet him and sign the jersey. Awesome guy!
As for my practice observations;
- Tre White appeared to be locking his man up consistently
- Durant appeared to need more work
- Young and Verse were getting consistent pressure, but they were going against back up tackles for a majority of the time
-it was difficult to see Fisk from where we were
- loved seeing Turner in there.
- Avila appears to be unmovable in the middle
- Kupp was being Kupp. Getting open and dotted up
-Puka had done big moments, a short out that likely would’ve been a 30 yard TD included. He also had a big drop
- Defense consistently stopped the run and even the short outs to the running backs. One in particular Young blew up Kyren on a short swing pass. In a real game that ball probably comes out since he let up slightly.
- Jimmy G was inconsistent but did throw a few good balls. He came over and met with everyone too.
- Nicest guy we met was Murchison. He actually came over and had conversations. Went back through line to make sure every thing was signed. Great dude.
I hope to have more observations on Saturday since we will be there the entire time and probably have much better seats
