It was a hot one even for a morning practice. Just got out of interviews with Josh Smith, Trevor Daniel, and Butch. Media room observations:

-Preston Williams is just an animal right now. We couldn't film in period 2, but I watched him on the jugs machine. Went 8 for 8 (4 right handed, 4 left) on one handed grabs. Granted, it's just a machine but he was standing pretty close which makes it harder cause the machine shoots them out with high velocity. Also, Maybin and Kirkland were practicing on the machine as well. Both were grabbing every ball thrown to them, some even one handed. Receivers looked sharp today catching.

-Shy Tuttle was going through the drills and seemed to be moving pretty well. Still might be a while though before he gets to full speed.

-The QBs looked to be throwing much better today than yesterday.

-Josh Smith said he's rooming with Byrd and that he's very "humble" and "wants to know everything." Also confirmed that he pretty much the fastest guy on the team. Smith is also Byrd's "mentor" as they are playing pretty much the same position in the slot.

-Trevor Daniel said that at one point a year or two ago, he was actually not asked to come back to the team (thought he wasn't good enough to make it). Came back as a walk on, earned a scholarship, and is now one of the best punters in the country.

-Also, Butch said "I woke up to 82 text messages about Cam Sutton being injured. I don't know where that came from." In terms of injuries, Fils-Aime does seem to have a broken wrist, but it shouldn't take him long (2-3 weeks?) and Brandon Johnson may be out for a little while with an undisclosed injury.

-Director of football operations, Chris Spognardi, has been placed on administrative leave.
