The first thing I heard when I walked down the sidelines of today’s open practice came from Lamar Thomas’ mouth. “You’re trying to be too perfect. You don’t need to,” Thomas told Garrett “Juice” Johnson.
LT is one of the more animated teachers on the coaching staff. Sometimes he does it rom the sidelines, other times he’s using a pad against his players. He also has a way of interjecting himself into teachable moments.
During the preliminary warm-up portion of practice, the offense walked through plays to give every player an opportunity to get loose. Freshman Zy’Aire Hughes finished his rep and came to the sideline confused.
