I agree with this.  Don't want my original post to sound like a big complaint.  I enjoyed the event, am glad they did it and totally support Coach Babers if his focus was at least partly influenced by the fact that the practice was going to be televised nationally.

I can say this:  the ball was rarely thrown downfield and the ball was rarely thrown to Custis and Butler.  When the ball was thrown to these guys, it was almost always a short throw (except for the one TD the offense scored on the long Dungey to Butler pass).

It could be the staff doesn't think they can get open and doesn't have a lot of confidence in them.

Or it could be that the staff has a lot of confidence in them and just didn't want to give their opponents a good look at what they are going to face in the fall.

I choose to believe the latter.  I also think the additions of Pierre and even Elmore are going to really help the running game.  Pierre has a chance to have a heck of a frosh season if he can learn the plays and play at the level I think he is capable of playing at.

Time will tell.  Love the direction the defense is going.  Bigger, faster, stronger is always good news.
