You think having a new D coord might have led to the rust/fog somewhat?

If the lack of urgency is there on 8/30 then I'm worried.

I think that's a correct assumption.. and he did mention it in bold...

The defense overall looked ill prepared and rusty though, I suspect it will take much time before the players settle into it and get their muscle memories working and not thinking about the new schemes so much

Very possible, but I doubt the same lack of urgency will be there the end of August. They are still learning at the moment...

Its tough for me looking through the lens, I miss much of the action not around the ball. But...

- Charles Johnson was a standout today. He may push Brayton for starting left end by the start of the season if he keeps it up. - The defense overall looked ill prepared and rusty though, I suspect it will take much time before the players settle into it and get their muscle memories working and not thinking about the new schemes so much

- Few new defensive drills today including an interception drill I had never seen before. The players seemed to enjoy it, whooping and hollering as each group got their turn.

- It never fails, every year some young CB gets a lesson taught to him by #89. They should thank him, because he gives his best each play and expects they do the same.

- Jordan Gross still takes a leak in the woods instead of heading to the porta jon, some things never change.

- Otah seems a lot more settled in and personable this year. Fairly quiet last season, seen joking around with other linemen this season. Good sign for chemistry.

- Compared to the first day of camp last season, today there was not as much of a spark, or a sense of urgency. Hard to put into words, but the overall feeling was more laid back.

- The OL did have a rough time with some of the fast new stunts in the drills, with the DL getting to the dummy QB a few times. Man, they were fast.

- Beason seems to have settled into the leader role a bit more, rallying his guys and getting them focused between plays.

- Moose looks to be in what might be the best shape his has been in for a while. Looks like he has been hitting the training program hard this offseason.

If I think of more I will add to it...

maybe all or our DE should take up tennis

Is that the OL looking bad or the DL looking good?

DL is quick and most of our back ups are inexperience. It is what it is.

The practice lacking spark...

It's understandable with a few niggling injuries and adjustments to systems on the offense at QB and along the offensive line and a completely new defensive scheme.

don't forget last year guys were more familiar with the system and were getting an ass kicking after growing complacent. They scrapped like wounded animals last year and played well for each other. No reason to go hard if you don't know what you're doing. Interruptions for incorrect technique and placement on the field which is likely to happen given the new system slows the flow too.
