Quote:Pirates Take To The Field For Second Practice
08/11/2004
GREENVILLE, N.C. — The East Carolina football team hit the field for an intense second day of preseason practice at the Cliff Moore Practice Facility this morning. Although temperatures were slightly higher this morning than Tuesday, the Pirates conducted business as usual.
ECU spent a second consecutive day working out in shorts and helmets only, but will strap on the shoulder pads for the first time Thursday morning. The Pirates will workout in shoulders pads each of the next two days before putting on the full armor Saturday.
"We made some adjustments from day one to day two, going with the split squads like we are," said head coach John Thompson. "Our players are getting so many repetitions that we're getting better overall as a whole team. It's encouraging to see the guys work so hard."
"When we bring them all together Sunday, I think you're going to see a lot better product."
The Pirates will continue to practice in two groups over the next three days before coming together for their first practice as an entire unit Sunday.
With the installation of a new offense still commencing, ECU continued to work on its vertical passing attack, running a variety of routes and lining up in numerous formations.
"Today we had some guys step up, make some catches, and had some big plays," Thompson said. "There is no question that we're making a huge effort to get the ball down the field."
I especially like this quote!
