Pierre and Armbrister out there? Interesting. Would be awesome if Pierre took a big step this year.

It would be huge if Pierre and Luther Robinson took big leaps this year.

I'm not really sure what you guys want me to say... I could make a negative comment for every positive play just because the offense and defense are going against each other in practice...

I'm just reporting what I see.

Just because you don't see something posted, doesn't mean that group is struggling.. For example, the tight ends have looked solid in practice, the balls just weren't thrown their way today. The pass rush hasn't been incredible, but remember these are vanilla schemes right now, there's not much blitzing.

Tried pointing this Out yesterday, but apparently most of you guys didn't see it...Telemaque hasn't done much, Mike James has looked OK, Chickillo hasn't been blowing things up.

You guys have to remember though that this is PRACTICE (AI voice), I give you what I see and that's it. Does it mean Duke will win the Heisman this year or Tracy will have 10 picks....no. I'm just trying to give you guys an idea of what's going on, that's it.

-There was a snap over the punter's head in special teams work. = Negative

-The Player-Coaches today were Mike James, Allen Hurns, and Vaughn Telemaque...Kendal Thompkins played a lot in Hurns' absence and AJ Highsmith played in Telemaque's spot.

-Flowers still starting on the right side.. Didn't see Seantrel at practice.
Seantrel not being in practice is a negative

-Grimble and Clements had a little scuffle. Bad for team chemistry = Negative.

-Lockhart had great catch over Gunter. It seems like he's making acrobatic catches everyday. Gunter got beat by a freshman = Negative

-Morris had perfect throw to Dorsett on perfect coverage by Tracy for a TD. If it was under thrown whatsoever, it would have been picked off or knocked down by Tracy.

-Morris had probably his best day of practice yet and Williams looked very good as well. Pass defense was getting torched by both QB's even the back up = negative

-Herb Waters had a great practice. He beat Finnie deep for a long TD from Williams. Finnie got beat deep = Negative

-None of the DBs can keep up with Dorsett, he has been the best WR throughout the first week of practice.

-Ramon Buchanon was back after coaching yesterday, and he was playing strong side linebacker with the first team. Armbrister was on the weak side, with Denzel in the middle.

-Smith/Pierre are the 1st team DT right now with Luther Robinson and Curtis Porter pushing.

-Deon Bush had another nice play in backfield, coming up to tackle the ball carrier.

-Kendal Thompkins nice rebound day after struggling yesterday. KT struggling yesterday = negative

-Kacy Rodgers dropped an easy INT off of morris, but made a really nice play to get in position. He seems to have a good understanding of the game. Kacy dropping an INT = Negative

-Armbrister had to go to the locker room with what seemed like a cut on his head. Cut on heads that require going into locker room = negative.
-Rashawn Scott had a solid day. He caught a number of screens and slants and picked up solid YAC.
