Bussell is good. That is all I have today.

That, and I wish they would print rosters so I could tell who is who.

I was in attendance today. Agreed. Bussell and Crawford look great. Also, Calin Crawford made some solid tackles as well. Defense held the Offense in check for the first 6 drives.

Agreed about the rosters. It would be nice to just have a printed handout for reference.

I've been saying this for years at spring ball and open practices.

Saw this tweet today, think it was from fanfest.

Hell of a job getting back in to the play by Eskridge. If he goes like that during a practice I can't wait to see him in a game.

Nice catch too by Cam, but OOB because of the great play by Eskridge.

He looks like a corner out there. Lester said somewhere they are encouraging him to be more aggressive because he can recover so quick. Between Saturday and limited video I've seen, he looks like he belongs there and enjoys pounding ball carriers, too.

My only worry is if he is too predictable in using him on offense. I hope we have some trickeration taking advantage of the increased focus on him when he's in.

Id like to see them go back and look at what we were doing in 2015 with Braverman... especially on those mis-direction sweep plays... seemed to always get him in space. I believe with his speed and agility that Eskridge could really expose some defenses in that capacity.

Those misdirection plays really helped Jarvion as well. go back and look at some old Jarvion highlights, most of his big runs were when we faked the Braverman end around. When they started going away from that he had fewer huge runs.

Any word on how Coleman did at receiver?

I don't remember seeing him, but they were holding some otherwise healthy guys out of the scrimmage, some jersey numbers were different, and I didn't have a roster handy. I also missed the first 20 minutes taking my son on a facility tour.

Of those that played when I was watching, the first team seemed to be Arnett, Bussell, Crooms. I could be very wrong, though.

I was not there who looked to be the starters what Rs and true freshmen looked good ?
