I went to the Thursday nighttime practice, lot's of other people and a band were there too. I sat in north end of seats by first field, a good place to be tonight. It was a lot cooler than the morning practices.

DB's came out early and did some DB coverage and interception type drills. McCain looked quick. We are definitely getting bigger, faster, stronger and I think better at DB positions.

Then they did some 8 offense on 8 defense drills. Defense backs starting to look better in coverage. Casey and Dreesen both had some nice catches.

Next came Kick off to kick return drills. In addition to JJ and AD who did real well on returns, Slayton and Anderson took kick returns.

Then they did some scripted play drives like 9 on 9 rotating through all the players. AJ looked good and JJ made some very good catches. All the RB are running hard.

Switched to goal line practice from 5 yard line. Schaub ran this really well.

Then did the field goal competition between Ruekers and Brown. moved from like 40 yard field goals out to what looked like 53 yard field goals. both did pretty good, perhaps missing one each. Roekers made one good one where Turk bobbled the snap onto the ground and Roekers made it anyway.

Finished with two minute drill , like 10 on 10, first with first team then second team. I have to say Okam and Mitchell, maybe first team on this drill, did pretty good as a team. Okam got a lot of push drawing a double team. He looked much more active than previous times seen him. Adrian Davis made some nice receptions.

No pads and all the guys looked like playing with some urgency. Looked like Anderson got an ankle sprain during one of the drives, but came back, likely sore tomorrow. Mario was exercising but not in the plays. Overall quite a bit of progress from the first mornings practice seemed like.
