Warriors in the Pros: Colt, RGM, Ikaika
Here's video of another "throw-crap-at-the-QB" drill that Colt Brennan and the other Washington Redskins QBs ran through in training camp today. Looks like they're having fun.
Thanks to 4uhfan, who also finds these quotes from Colt about the drill.
Great news for Ryan Grice-Mullen, who has a tryout with the Chicago Bears.
And Ikaika Alama-Francis performed well in the first day of Detroit Lions training camp. From Tom Kowaski's first impressions of camp:
Thanks to 4uhfan, who also finds these quotes from Colt about the drill.
Colt Brennan: “We’d done something like that in college, but this was kind of a barrage. I’ve never had six bags thrown at me at one time.”Here's a photo of Colt dodging the barrage, which comes from this ExtremeSkins.com photo thread.
Was Coach feeling sinister? “Ah, Coach Zorn just always wants to keep it loose and fun. They’re soft bags, and we’ve got these big pads and everything.”
Great news for Ryan Grice-Mullen, who has a tryout with the Chicago Bears.
With his flowing dreadlocks, from a distance he looked like Devin Hester walking into the dining hall at Olivet Nazarene University Thursday morning.Let's hope he's fully healed and can show what he can do.
It wasn't the holdout wide receiver but another pass catcher.
Ryan Grice-Mullen is here for a free-agent workout today. The Hawaii wide receiver went undrafted in April and was signed by the Houston Texans. He was released June 13 and never participated in OTA's because of a leg injury. The Bears can check out to see if he is healthy now.
And Ikaika Alama-Francis performed well in the first day of Detroit Lions training camp. From Tom Kowaski's first impressions of camp:
In the one-on-one pass rush drill, it was obvious that Ikaika Alama-Francis has spent some time working on his inside counter moves. He still has a long way to go, but his technique is better. These one-on-one drills will be important for Alama-Francis because he has to build up some confidence with his pass rush.And from the Birk's Eye View blog:
In his first one-on-one of the day, rookie Gosder Cherilus set too deep and got beat inside by second-year end Ikaika Alama-Francis.

Q&A with Hawaii head coach Greg McMackin
July 24, 2008 6:03 PM
Posted by ESPN's Graham Watson
Coach Greg McMackin plans to keep Hawaii's traditional run-and-shoot offense -- with a few new wrinkles.
SALT LAKE CITY -- If you thought Hawaii's run-and-shoot offense floated off the island with coach June Jones, think again. New head coach Greg McMackin is a student of the run-and-shoot and plans to keep the system that has made Hawaii famous... with a few tweaks.

Those previously mentioned as CEO possibilities were probably never in the running.
They include Mary Wittenberg, president and CEO of the New York Road Runners and director of the New York City Marathon; former Olympic sprint medalist Herman Frazier, a longtime college and USOC administrator; and 1972 Olympic marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter.
