Following this afternoon's practice, left guard Russell Nenon checked in with these notes from practice:
- Practice had high intensity today for the first day in shells.
- The defense did real well in the team segment at the beginning of practice, but...
- The first team offense looked very good in the team segment at the end of practice.
- There were lots of installations of special teams today.
- The defense in particular was excited to have some pads on and hit some people.
- At one point Devon "Y'lou" Brown took a hit from behind and sat out the rest of practice, but was still on the field watching.
- During 1-on-1 drills Chip Brinkman made a good grab on a deep ball but was tripped up by Chip Vaughn, landed awkwardly, and also sat out the rest of practice. Hopefully both Brinkman and Y'lou are fine, but we'll have to see if they practice tomorrow.
- Kerry Major practiced and appears to be just fine.
- During today's Skelly period (7 on 7) the offense had the upper hand except for a pick-6 by Alphonso Smith. Riley Skinner looked particularly good in this drill as well as 1-on-1 drills. DJ Boldin had some good catches, and Brandon Ghee looked good in coverage.
- Punt team work is starting up and looks more stable than it did in the spring. The snaps look pretty good so far.
