Just got back from FIU football scrimmage. I'll give it my best shot to inform those that couldn't make it today. I know PP's insight will definitely be more detailed.
First of all, great to see many of the incoming recruits at practice. Kambriel Willis, Jonathan Jackson, Souarrin, Aaron Davis and more recruits were there. From what I gather, these kids are ready to come in and compete. They wanted to put on pads and see how they would do on the field.
Seemed to me that both offense and defense had some sluggish moments. These are the positions and players that stood out to me:
QB position--McCall had the best day but wasn't as impressive as last week. He had his moments where he struggled but he's ahead of CA and DH. As for CA and DH, they did look more comfortable than last week. Towards the end of practice Colt Anderson made some great throws and was able to move the offense.
RB position--great day by Amod Ned. On a fourth and 1 play he had a 42 yards TD run. Other RB that stood out was Turner. I think he's FB but he just runs hard. Very hard to tackle.
WR position--Marquis Rolle looked impressive. He had some one-on-one opportunities and made nice catches. One was for a touchdown(thrown by CA). Other receiver that had nice day was Jeremy thingyens. Very solid, just made plays when he had the ball thrown to him.
That's it for the offensive side of the ball, O-Line did ok. What i also want to see is production out of any TE. Wiggins made nice catch, but to me that position needs somebody to step up.
Finally, the defensive side of the ball. On the line of scrimmage, best day goes to Reginald Jones. No LB stood out. That's just my opinion; i don't want to offend anyone. Secondary, good day for Anthony Gaitor. He seems to be #1 corner on the team and he sure likes to talk on the football field(in a good way).
Overall, I don't think defense or offense dominated. I'm looking forward to read what some of you that went to practice thought and PP perpesctive.
GO FIU!!!
