I am curious with Des kinda going back to old school if he will open practice up like coaches did when he was a player. As some one who played his whole life through high school, I used to love watching the first couple of days in pads and watching the Oklahoma and one on one lineman drills. To me that is more fun than an actual game. I think most people who have played in the trenches, participated in practices and really appreciate the game would tell you the same. You get to see who is really the toughest out there man on man.
I recall watching Tyrell Fenroy's very first practice in pads as Cajun. All the hype going into camp was about the highly recruited Deon Wallace who was supposed to be the next great thing. I watched Fenroy run Oklahoma drills 3 or 4 times and called my brothers and said remember the name Fenroy fellas he's going to be special. I had watched Pryor, Brister, Johnson, Joseph, Taylor, Cottonand others before him and none got from the back field to the LB level as quickly as TF. There was so much difference and it was blatantly obvious to the naked eye, on his very first day of practice.
Anyway I would love to be able to watch those big boys get after it again.
