With that in mind, I looked for guys pushing through maintaining some bounce to their step in warm ups, it’s a minor detail but suggests mental toughness. On that note—OU transfer, Abdul Adams and FR Jarveon Howard fit the bill.
Howard is a tank btw, very impressive physical stature for a freshman. He was light on his toes during ladder drills and delivers a strike working bags.
O-Line was interesting, cavanaugh widened the line, he wanted his guys to step through, I’ll RT a video, but the drill exposed which linemen could or couldn’t reach their gap assignment in a fluid step, I thought Aaron Roberts and Airon Servais were the most effective but Cavanaugh’s reaction suggested no one was up to standard.
On defense, pursuit drill was in effect. A wrinkle was added asking the D-Line to step into an inside gap & then flatten out, pursuing an outside run angle. Josh Black looked good. He’s had a great spring and fall camp from what I’ve seen and heard. Breakout candidate in my book.
