8/29 practice

Tonight was an offensive night, and we added a few new plays to our playbook. Some of the players had a little bit of a hard time picking them up, but that's to be expected - our playbook is pretty thin at this point in the season and we threw several new things at them all at once. We hope to master what we have now before our first game.

One thing we talked about tonight is how certain players might have to be moved around a little bit based on need and playing time. We told the players that if we ask them to change positions that they shouldn't look at it as a negative, but rather see it as an opportunity to contribute more to the team from a new position than they might have been able to at another. After all, the rules only allow for so many quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers to be on the field at the same time.

Tomorrow will be a defensive practice, and I'm really looking forward to it. A reminder that we will NOT practice this Wednesday, 8/31. Players are free to take as many "mental reps" as they wish.

See you tomorrow.
