**QB's only worked with the TE's today. The signal-callers were solid today as a whole, but not spectacular, as they were guilty of some low or errant throws here and there. Most notable was a pass from Malik Rosier that was very low and away and outside the grasp of Will Mallory. Routes were posts across the middle to the outside hashes on each side, bubble screens, and out routes.
**After a strong start the first two days, the TE's had a pretty rough go of it today. Everyone dropped a pass, and they were mostly all throws right on the money. Brevin Jordan was guilty of multiple and Coach Hartley got loud at Jordan later on for running a lazy route. Not a good practice for Jordan today.
**WR Evidence Njoku was doing work off to the side in the early morning portion and has been playing with his knee in a elastic sleeve as he works his way back from ACL surgery.
**Realus George was getting second teams reps at FB today over Michael Parrott. George is still behind Trayone Gray, though.
**We talked about first and second team defense on Saturday, but today I paid a little more attention to the third team guys filling out the depth chart.
Third Team Defense
DL: DE Gregory Rousseau, DT Nesta Silvera, DT Jordan Miller, DE Tyreic Martin
LB: Striker Derrick Smith, MLB CJ Perry, WLB De'Andre Wilder
DB: CB Al Blades, S Tyler Murphy, S Gurvan Hall, CB DJ Ivey
**DE Gregory Rousseau was repping more third team today, as Scott Patchan was working with the second team at end along with Demetrius Jackson. Patchan and Rousseau have rotated at times, though.
**Behind the top guys, UM doesn't have much depth at DE this season. DT Tyreic Martin has been getting looks as the third team defensive end, as it seems he's been passed up by the two true freshman at DT. Seems like it's Martin over Terry McCray for now at third team DE.
**Derrick Smith has been moved all around this fall so far, as I've seen him getting reps on all three teams at different times. Today it was mostly Romeo Finley with the two's at Striker LB, as UM continues to open practice with a SAM linebacker (Zach McCloud) instead of a Striker with the one's.
**DJ Ivey was repping more third team at CB, while Gilbert Frierson spent more time with the two's, although they have been switching off as well. Freshman CB Al Blades developed his body a lot over the summer, and looks much bigger than when he was at St. Thomas.
**Miami only has 5 scholarship guys working at safety, so they have been rotating in a walk-on guy at safety on third team. Today it was Tyler Murphy, and Colvin Alford has been seeing time there the past few days as well.
**UM introduced shoulder pads today. Full pads go on during practice #5 (Wednesday).
**The first fall scrimmage will take place this Saturday night and will be closed.
