It’s basically the Oklahoma drill. And 1v1 is just DB vs WR.@Matthew_Suero What’s the big cane drill? Is that the same as the old school nutcracker? Or more like the Oklahoma drill? And what are the 1 v 1’s?

Interesting that Tate started out hot and has seemed to cool off.
I’m not sure Williams doesn’t sneak in there and win the job. It’s still early though.
And in my mind Perry is out of it. He can’t hit a WR standing wide open on the sideline.
I realize merely invoking the hallowed name Sean. T on this forum is similar to committing blasphemy, but in this instance I actually believe it's warranted. I guess only time will tell if I am correct or not.
This is that old school Canes mentality. You don't transfer out the min someone gives you competition. You work your *** off and everyone gets better. Competition breeds development and growth!From 247 free article
DB Derrick Smith continues to flash during practice. During the one-on-one portion of practice that the media can view, Smith made an impressive pass break-up when covering slot receiver Mike Harley on a quick slant. Later during the one-on-one session, Smith undercut a crossing route by slot receiver Marshall Few. Both passes were thrown by Tate Martell. Smith had three turnovers during Tuesday's practice.
Striker Romeo Finley on what Smith has shown this spring: "To me he is the most improved so far. He keeps telling me he is going to get that safety spot and I just tell him to keep working."
I agree to an extent. Most of these kids are the man from day 1 of pop warner. Then they get to college where everyone is pretty darn good. The ones that transfer when things get tough don't like competition. Now, don't get me wrong... If they get somewhere and are mistreated or something out of the ordinary happens and they transfer, well that's a different story.Too much is made of “old school mentality” and that kids transfer out when someone gives them competition. That line of thinking is too critical on the kids and doesn’t pass on enough of that responsibility to the coaches. Build the right culture, recruit the right kids, and develop them properly and you’ll see fewer kids leave. That said, long before there was a “portal”, I’ve been an open advocate of laissez-faire transfer rules. These kids need to do what’s best for them, not the school/team - and certainly not the fans/Stan’s.
It's true and I love it! This is what real competition is all about and this is why competition at every position will be the key to unlocking this team's vast potential. Amari Carter and Gurvan Hall are UM caliber football players and are very talented but nobody on this team will get pt based on their High School press clippings or even what they did last season. Carter and Hall will have studs like Bubba Bolden and Derrick Smith coming to take their jobs so there is no room for complacency. Soon the entire squad will have battles like this.Derrick Smith coming for Carter or Halls spot it seems everyday he's been making plays it seems like
