Well, here's my take on today's scrimmage:
This is Ryan Nassib's team.  He is more than head and shoulders above the rest of the would-be QB's.  He snaps his throws - the others heave them.  Loeb looks like a back-up ought to.  Kinder can't throw and loves to run parellel to the line of scrimmage.  Broyld didn't play much.
 
The second team center (Phillips) can't snap in the shotgun.  He mucked up several plays all by himself.  Macky is our guy, even if he's 6' 0" at best.  Foy seemed to be working with Coach Adkins a lot, so maybe he has the desire to get better.  Alexander is carrying somebody's baby.
 
Sales looks very good.  Hale looked like fluid and caught some balls (one long one from Loeb that was a foot out of bounds).  Kobena messed up some plays from a mental standpoint.
 
Jerome Smith looked "useful," but I wouldn't anoint him a star yet.  He's just a hair less than fast or explosive.  PTG was himself - quick, explosive and mistake-prone.  You take the good with the bad with him.  Myles Davis wasn't called on to do anything noteworthy.  He's just a freshman in his first spring practice, so I have no expectations of him yet.
 
The defense seemed closer to game ready than the offense.  Goggins looked comfortable at DE.  Simmons looks like he needs another 15-20 pounds on him.  The young DB's looked good - though Eskridge, Anderson and Desir are built like greyhounds.  Shamarko: he's no greyhound.  He's a fireplug.  I'll bet the advice he got about going pro was that he needs to show something special to be a prospect at his size.
 
The kicking was about as expected.  Krautman has a strong leg.  Lichtenstein has a lesser leg.  Fisher had great hang time, but only 40 yards downfield.  The backup punter launched one, but shanked another.
 
The defensive highlight was when PTG broke around the right end and got stuffed downfield by a LB and a couple of DB's, who told him "you can't do that!"  All in all, a spirited practice that showed about what we expected, even without seeing the team until today.
