McMackin said today's scrimmage will be the real deal.And here's a preview from Jason Kaneshiro.
''We are going to do an hour's practice, do some of the things we have to do,'' he said. ''Then we will go for an hour scrimmage with 60 to 70 plays. We will have officials and flags and it will be a full game-type scrimmage. This is our first scrimmage of the spring. Normally we don't scrimmage this early, but we thought the people would want to see a little bit. I knew you guys would want to see some hitting.''
The team will run through a normal practice for the first hour, then hold their first scrimmage of the spring in the second hour. McMackin said the plan is to run about 60 plays in the scrimmage.
Since the Warriors started practicing in pads a week ago, the coaches have reminded the players to stay on their feet during contact drills to reduce the risk of injury. Today's session offers a rare chance for live tackling.
"It's always good to go full speed," linebacker R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane said. "The coaches are talking about just staying pro style (in practice). It's good, but you can't really have as much contact as you'd like to. So that'll be fun."

I watched the scrimmage today at War Memorial Stadium and was fairly impressed with what we have on Offense this year.
The QB's took turns without the #1 QB playing. Shane Austin had a great scrimmage should be the #2 QB. Shane completed more passes with very nice reads and throws with precise bombs that the receivers dropped that could have gone for TD's. Shane seems very comfortable while in the pocket and scrambled nicely avoiding several sacks.
Unfortunately for Brent Rausch it just wasn't his day. Poorly thrown passes plagued him today.
Our defensive front rarely penetrated the OL, so either the OL got better or defense got a lot of work to do.
I say overall it was a good scrimmage with the defense giving up just 14 points to run plays. 2 TD's and a 2 point conversion.
Funaki will be a huge threat this year for sure!
Thanks Coach Mac and team for todays scrimmage on Maui!!
