great job Steve....thanks
How good are we going to be at inside LB in 2014 with McKinney and Richie Brown there? Those two could be special playing together for two years unless McKinney goes off and leaves early
LB looks set for the future. McKinney is a future NFL guy no question. The biggest thing that jumps out about Richie is how fast he is. You also can't forget about Ferlando Bohanna who is having a nice spring as wellQuote:

Steve - thank you for taking the time to a) go to practice and b) write it up. I know many appreciate the effort.
Quay and Virges both had fairly quiete days yesterday. Keep in mind I'm basing that mostly on scrimmage. When they were in position group stuff on the other side of the field, they coulda had good days, I just couldn't see that far. The main thing I'm noticing is that Nick is raising his gameQuote:

I want the bears and LSU bad. I would love to smack bama in the mouth, but we just dont have the horses yet.
We might. Wait and see. We have to hope 1) the defense is as good as we think, 2) the OL stays healthy, and 3) our newer & bigger WR people step up.Quote:

Thanks Steve. Nice write up. Are you going to be doing this all the way through practices up to the season? If so, this is going to be a great read day in and day out.
Thanks again
I wish I could but its schedule dependent. For instance I won't be at Saturdays due to engagement photo shoot in Jackson. I'll go to as many as I canQuote:

I thought this was perhaps the most significant thing I read:
"don?t think anyone has more fun playing football than Nick James"
If he can stay happy, maybe he'll get everything off the field figured out and into the animal we know he can be.
In regards to Quay...Quote:

Thanks again... I used to do the same and post on BDJ for Wardlaw/Paul and know how much effort it takes especially trying to watch different groups when split up.Quote:
