Wednesday practice notes


According to May Mat (TCP) who attended practice, Rich Brooks & Joker Phillips had the following things to say:
  • The freshman RB's and QB's are struggling. The coaches are throwing a lot at them and they are struggling to catch up mentally. The RB's are putting the ball on the ground to much and are still adjusting to the speed of the game.
  • Alfonso Smith did not go through the entire practice today (ankle). RB CoShick Williams has a foot sprain and has been out a few days. T.C. Drake has a slight groin problem as well.
  • Nick Melillo was moved to tight end today. The coaches love his route running, he's got good hands, but he needs bulk up . Melillo had a great scrimmage in the blue/white game.
  • The coaching staff is unsure if they will red-shirt WR LaRod King or not. He has the ability, but has to pick things up quicker.
  • EJ Fields is receiving a strong look at WR from the coaching staff. He has all the tools physically, but needs to get stronger mentally.
