Pro Warriors Monday Update

Some notes from training camps around the league:

Looks like Ashley Lelie is doing well recovering from his quad injury.
Receiver Ashley Lelie looked sharp on a deep ball grab from quarterback Trent Dilfer during seven-on-seven in the morning practice.

Nate Ilaoa talks about dealing with the crazy heat in Eagles camp.
"You try to get yourself up, but you're never really ready for something crazy like this," Ilaoa said after the morning session. "You just try to run, get yourself ready. The weather is really what sur prised me. I knew about it, but when you get out here, it's a totally different story."
======

Samson Satele talks about learning all the positions on the O-line.
"The coaches have told us, 'Don't keep your mind on one position. You have to learn all the positions,"' said Satele. "They aren't kidding."

Despite being a rookie, Satele has seen most of the first-team action at center, which has bumped Rex Hadnot to right guard. Hadnot, who started all 16 games at center last season, is on the second team behind Mormino.

Reagan Mauia's hard work is showing dividends.
Reagan Mauia had a great block on Derrick Pope on a Jesse Chatman run.
A Dolphins fan who attended morning practice had this to say:
I would also like to make mention of Reagan Mauia's ability to deliver a pop at the line of scrimmage. He was the lead blocker on two of the succesful run plays that I saw in the "inside drill". He get's a solid initial contact on the LB and shifts his feet to maintain that contact and leverage, Reagan will be solid in the Goal Line packages for us this year.
Juggernaut!

And Ikaika Alama-Francis has a new entry in his Lions rookie diary.
“It’s being a rookie. It really is. It’s being a rookie but you just have to take the good and the bad. You can’t get too down; can’t get too hot. You’ve just got to stay on that level because, (with) the coaches, you think you’re doing good – it’s not good enough. But I’ve just got to keep pushing and keep working. Stay mentally tough – that’s the key thing.
