Football Gets Rare Work Outside

04/17/2009 - Football

Two sessions of one-on-one routes between the WRs/DBs and some non-contact inside run followed the initial position drills. Today's practice focused more on the cerebral aspect of the game, such as picking up one's assignment and running through the whistle. There weren't any huge revelations from today's practice, as it was primarily non-contact. Practiced ended with a brief seven-on-seven session between the first team offense and defense.
