Wassink has taken some steps forward. His mechanics are perfected. Throws last spring often had a little wobble on the ball, now they are a perfect spiral and there is that perfect touch on the ball that makes it so easy to catch.

Eleby has so much talent. His fastball is the best throw for him right now, very accurate. Timing patterns and deep balls not so much, he tends to overthrow. So some work to do by receivers. One they have to be prepared for a throw that comes in fast and flat in the under routes. On long routes they can’t go into a glide and look around for the ball, they need to keep running full speed and trust the ball will be there. He has a strong arm.

Number 1 Riddle? Was working without a red jersey, although he did take a couple reps at QB. Is he a receiver now? I want to see a quick pass to him on the edge and the trick throw downfield.

We have both a right and left footed place kickers. I was thinking about the holders, two of them as well? They called out “field goal number 1” and “field goal number 2”. Is their a tactical advantage when on the left versus the right hash, to having a choice of kickers?

Everywhere I looked there was a lot of hand signals going on. I suspect the guys are learning some kind of sign language. Very cool. Enhanced communication.

Darn. Riddle should be the #4 and Alstott should be moved to running back, just because.

On the roster #1 is Mussat, not Riddle. Sorry.

#26 is WAY fast. During warmups he took it in his head to hit another gear and the air melted around him. Wow. Want to see a runoff between him and Eskridge.

Nice article about Patrick Lupro.

Did Tranquil play in spring practice scrimmage Saturday. I was only there a few minutes never saw him on the field.
