Today was the first of three practices fully open to the media.
Maynard was out with a study group today so Bridgford got the first team reps today. He looked good and threw with confidence and accuracy. He's bigger and stronger this spring than he's been.
Boehm was next in the rotation. Tedford said there was nothing to read into the order but I'm not sure. He seemed to be the next best qb out there, though it's still early. He threw well and he won't hesitate to pull it down and run, which he did a number of times.
Hinder was next, then Kline. Both looked fine, though Kline still looks like he's obviously learning. He did throw a ball through a hanging tire after practice. I think he was the only qb to make it.
Harris looked really good at wr. He had several balls where he went up over the defense to grab balls. It seemed that Bouza and Bostock got the next most balls. Willis took some wr reps along with cb and looked good, too.
Looked like Rodgers got the most balls at TE. He's got a huge base but is definitely not fat and he moved pretty quickly. Hagan and Wark were out there a decent amount, too, and I'm pretty sure Ladner was out there, too.
Isi looked really quick hitting the holes at rb and CJA looked good, too. Bigelow showed some nice burst and it looked to me like he's added some muscle. Looked @10 lbs bigger to me. Lasco and Ervin got some time, as well as Manuel. Both Yarnway and Briggs were out there, too. I asked Tedford if one or more of the rb's might play some fb (thinking Yarnway and Briggs, especially) and he said some of the rb's did get fb reps and that they're looking at that.
Also, re. fullback, Stevens ran on the sideline with a brace and was really quick. Can't imagine he won't be back for fall camp.
McClure was on the exercise bike with no brace and he seemed to have full range of motion, which was good to see.
The first team OL seemed to be mainly T Rigsbee at LT, Adcock/Brazinski at LG, Schwenke at C, Gibson at RG, MSG at OT. Michalczik said if one or more of the OT's do well enough, they wouldn't mind moving MSG back to OG.
I focused mainly on the O since the D can't tackle with no pads but Ted will be able to talk about the defensive rotation. He'll have a report on rotations on both sides of the ball. I'll have the main practice report and Grey will add Tedford video from post practice. I'll also have video interviews with Bridgford, Boehm and from Thursday, Maynard.
