Open Scrimmage

Well, things don't always go according to plan, especially when you're a mom.  My intention was to take detailed, first-hand notes of the open scrimmage last night at the Big House, and write an awesome blog depicting my take of the team.  But, being a responsible, lesson-teaching, frustrated mom prevailed, and I had to forgo my trip to the Big House for disciplining my misbehaving children. 


While I wasn't able to attend the open scrimmage, I did receive up-to-date texts via my brother and my twitter feed was better than play-by-play.  It was consistent, detailed, honest, and gave me the feeling of being right there in the action. Well, okay not really, but it was the next best thing to being there.  I got to read how the team was developing, which players were playing with which line, coaches interacting, and there were even a couple video clips thrown in to spice it up a bit.


My Pick 6 things I learned:
1. The O line is still.......developing, let's say.  This is my nice way of saying, they aren't much better than they were last year, and they've lost 2 NFL players.  Great! (insert sarcasm)
2. Because of #1, the QBs had to scramble and run for their lives on almost every play, throw it away, and have had to learn how to throw short quick passes in hopes of backing off the D so a run game can be established.
3. The D looked bigger, more aggressive, making better plays, and basically did whatever they wanted.
4. Funchess made a couple of highlight worthy catches that had fans drooling.
5. Gardner is the starter, but Morris looked pretty darn good too.
6. Peppers is what he was advertised to be.....a Stud!


We're down to 13 days until kickoff and I can barely stand it.
Go Blue!
