Spring Football Day Four

[NewsCopy]

 The Ragin’ Cajuns football team knocked themselves around on Monday, going through a physical practice for the second straight outing.

The team started 30 minutes later than usual to allow players and coaches extended time to view video of Saturday’s practice.

The offense continued to struggle with the quicker tempo in pads.

“We’ve seen better days,” passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Jorge Munoz said. “I think we have about 95 percent of our offense in and that translates into a lot of guys thinking instead of reacting. It’s hard to play fast when you are thinking.”

“Our defense is coming at us 100 miles per hour, but we’re only moving 50 miles an hour.”

After four quick nine-minute practice periods, the offense faced the defense in the always hard-nosed middle drill.

Some special teams, skeleton and pass rush drill followed before practice concluded with three spirited team periods. Neither the offense nor defense seemed willing to budge during the team periods. The two sides jawed verbally and punished each other physically in an attempt to gain an advantage.

“You want high intensity (team periods),” Munoz added. “You don’t want guys getting hurt and you don’t want to see cheap shots – which we didn’t have any of. The game of football is about high intensity and that’s how it’s played on Saturdays.”

As the defense swarmed to the ball, the offense did a better job of securing the football and limiting turnovers in comparison to Saturday’s practice.

“We controlled the ball much better,” Munoz stated. “It was our focus at the beginning of practice and we ironed it out.

“You don’t carry more than 50 percent of your offense into a game. The plan is to scale back (over the next few practices) a little bit in terms of the volume of plays. Hopefully, that will help speed things up a little bit.”

The team will practice again on Wednesday at 3:30pm. Wednesday’s practice is expected culminate with some live periods.

How do you write practice reports and strictly avoid mentioning any players' names? The only names I saw at all were players who switched positions back on or before Day 1.

Of course names and a little more detail would be nice as well...
