Brief update and sorry not much really to report. I’d say Defense won the day today but there was definitely give and take. 1st O-line played excellent. Lot of time for the 2’s and 3’s
Limited reps for many of the starters/proven guys.
Defense is fast and physical. Team size is impressive. Corners are outstanding and Guidry in the Nickel looks great. Plenty of quality leadership on the field. Bernard and Pirtle still behind but learning. Closer to playing shape and will help quite a bit once there. Pirtle behind from a mental standpoint…rush end and RB in high school, coverage is something he’s not done much of so has to learn that but good athlete. Bernard behind from a conditioning standpoint and Ena letting him have it every step of the way. Thompson looks good and Lloyd is a physical freak. Just has to learn the mental part. Mariner, Covey look great along with Simpkins and Thompson. Boyd (still thinking too much) will catch up into that top group, Same with Nacua and Enis will contribute. Dixon, Field in the next group.
Bernard passed his last class by 1 percent! Had to pass 40 credits in the past 12 months to become eligible. Kicked his butt but he did it. Credit to him.
Tyronne Smith banged up again but doesn’t appear to be serious. Hamilton with his hand in the dirt some. Repp continues to look good so does Tufua. Maxs should get some reps. Fotu, Tonga, Penisini and Pututau look good. Young guys have to step up with depth but Coach A. helps tremendously there. Nick Ford is massive. Toala has spent some time in the pit during camp…same with Capra.
