Let the Hitting Begin
The first full practice in pads is the real mark that football is upon us. No more tiptoeing around. Players were hitting today, although it wasn’t a total tackling exhibition. It was still a controlled practice. Yet, it was nice to hear and see players collide and get after it.
The defense took advantage of the situation. There were a lot of pressures dialed up along with late blitz movement before the snap, causing the offense to play out of sorts most of the morning.
