its kind of hard to watch practice unless they practice on cajunfield but will definately give scrimmage reports and spring game reports. The practice field is surrounded by bushes so its difficult to see whats going on. I usually get updates from a few players so i will keep you posted on what i hear.Originally Posted by Gbbaseball7

still hard to watch a practice at eye level unlike being elevated in cajun field to grasp how everyone looks. at eye level you can only watch one phase of practice at at time.it is alot easier to see the plays develope from above. A defense that is performing poorly can make an offense look really good.Originally Posted by Cajun Express

Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns enjoyed their first spring football practice on Wednesday afternoon. Head coach Rickey Bustle welcomed 86 players to the practice field under nearly perfect weather conditions. Bustle also watched his four newest coaches take to the practice field for the first time.
Kevin Fouquier (defensive coordinator, linebackers), Blake Anderson (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks), Hurlie Brown (cornerbacks) and Darryl Mason (wide receivers) all made their coaching debuts on Wednesday.
“It was a great day,” said Bustle. “The players were excited about being out here. The coaches were excited about getting started and doing some new things on both sides of the ball.
“The players have embraced the (coaching) changes. I think change brings about excitement, new ideas and philosophies.”
There was a definitive jump in the steps of the athletes during the two-hour, 12-period workout. The players were vocal and the practice tempo was upbeat.
“The guys were eager to get out here,” explained Bustle. “We wanted to focus from the first day.
“There are no depth charts. Every position is open. Everybody is going to compete for a job.
“The players are trying to do things right and impress their coaches. Even if you played last year, you’ll have to earn your stripes.”
The Cajuns will practice on Friday at 3pm in shorts. Saturday’s workout at 9:45am will be the teams first in full pads. There will be contact drills on Saturday, but no live work.
The Cajuns remaining spring practice schedule:
Friday, March 9 – 3:00pm
Saturday, March 10 – 9:45am
Monday, March 12 – 3:30pm

Many of the area's high school football coaches got an up-close view of a new-look UL squad Wednesday when the Ragin' Cajuns officially opened spring drills for the 2007 season.
The UL coaching staff, one that includes four new members this year, hosted an evening clinic for the area coaches following Wednesday's two-hour workout session.
"We've done it for a couple of years," said Cajun coach Rickey Bustle, "but this is the first time we've done it on our first day. It's an informal thing, a chance for everyone to meet and talk football."
The 86 returning members of the UL squad finally got a chance to do football-related drills Wednesday, after several weeks of off-season conditioning - the last two weeks featuring the infamous 6 a.m. "red dawn" sessions.

I was answering your comment, ( its kind of hard to watch practice unless they practice on cajunfield but will definately give scrimmage reports and spring game reports. The practice field is surrounded by bushes so its difficult to see whats going on.) Your comment seem to indicate the bushes were the problem. Now I see you need the sky box view to evaluate the practice. I find that I get a better understanding of what the coaches want in the one on one drills, and if the coach is satisfied. There is nothing imo like being twenty or thirty feet away from the action and hearing what a coach has to say to the participants. Each to his own. Spring drills imo are to learn football, we won't know how well they learn until they compete against an opponent.Originally Posted by crazycajun
