I had the opportunity to watch today's practice from the patio. Recommended if any of you have the opportunity and are still considering a day to attend. The practice was not padded and so there were restrictions on how physical they could be, but I had a few takeaways mainly from the OL drills which were right in front of the patio.
Offensive Line
Emphasis on zone stretch with the OL looking to be more physically fit as a group than in previous years. Many of the drills were about lateral movement. Keli'ikuewa Kekuewa was working with the group as much as Dickerson was and looks very comfortable coaching in his third season here.
Phil Haynes was practicing snapping before the practice but didn't get any reps at center during practice. Probably bolstering his case as the active swing interior OL on gamedays.
Forsythe split reps between LT and RT, while Curhan and Lucas traded off at RT.
Depth chart looked something like:
LT - Cross, Forsythe, Eiland, Ryan (injured)
LG - Lewis, Gilmore, Wilson
C - Blythe, Fuller, Shepley
RG - Jackson, Haynes, Forbes
RT - Curhan, Lucas, Forsythe
Miscellaneous
- Parkinson looks like he's ready to compete for a starting spot.
- Eskridge needed his left knee wrapped halfway through drills.
- DK is "holding in" and watched from the sidelines
Anybody else go today? What did you notice?
