Camp Week 2 and Jamboree

Practice
Week 2 went into the books with mostly prep for the Jamboree. Getting a few plays to run and run correctly is the main purpose. Not to show to much, but to at least see how the kids to vs a different team. It is also the 1st opportunity to get the full defense together. Practice during the week was good, we got some players back from vacation. One of them, Brian looks like he will be my solid #2 cornerback. He made some big plays during practice, especially on run support.
Personally I dont show much during Jamboree since they are scouted. also dont mind a good butt whuppin as it usually get the kids more focused. Jordan is coming along as my Mike LB. Kyle is showing too much hesitation as the Will.
So far the defense stacks up like this
LB's
WillLB Kyle
MikeLB- Jordan
SamLB- Jake
DTs Jeremy and Isaiah
DE's Sean and Eric
FS Aaron
CB's- two rookies, Ian and Brian
The Jamboree
The first time the team dons the Scarlet and Gold. they look like CRAP in pregame warmups. Not awake, not hitting and no excitement. I throw up beforehand as I usually do before any game, so my nerves are shot. Good thing today doesnt count.
1st Offensive Series. TEAM 1
We drive from the 40 yard line down to the 10. A good solid 4-5 yards a pop. My FB fumbles the ball inside the 10. It will be a long day.
2nd Offensive series
We drive from the 40 to the one and score on a QB Sneak. Nothing looks better than little Peyton sneaking behind big Cal
3rd and 4th offensive series. We drive 15-20 yards each time. Passing looks poor, but we are getting good 4-5YPC
The 1st 2 defensive series went great vs TEAM 1. We stopped them cold on all run and pass plays and even forced and recovered 2 fumbles.
The third series they broke a 35 yrd run on a missed tackle and scored on 4th down run inside the 5.
The 4th series included another missed tackle on 3rd and long from the 42 with a long TD run. Still a good defensive performance overall.
Team 2 was the defending League champions. For some reason I wasnt as impressed with them. Offensively we moved the ball well include a great 30yd catch from my WR Jason. 3 Drives ended with fumbles. They didnt stop us, we beat ourselves
Defense looked awesome against the run. No gains on any of their 20 plays. Then their QB lit us up on two deep passes for TD's (Both with my Backup FS in the game, he bit both plays on the shorter patters, leaving the deep man one on one)
All in all the team looked good. Our mistakes were our own, and it looks like with one week left of camp and our 1st game week prep, we should be ready for the Vikings in Week one
