Saturday morning marked the sixth spring practice under coach Will Healy and his new staff. The energy and enthusiasm levels are night and day, and the winning culture is contagious.
This kind of atmosphere and coaching staff leaves the players no choice but to enjoy the madness. The Charlotte 49ers have moved on from the Brad Lambert era, and the youth movement is continuing in the Queen City.
The encouraging words and excitement drown out the blaring music, and the first scrimmage of Spring practice is in the books.
My first impression of the new look 49ers is that it feels like the players want to be here.
