    Day 3 (April 4, 2008)

Practice was held in the "Mo" center today as the weather
could not make up it's mind as what it wanted to do.
Patrick Chung #15 was the assistant coach today as he has a sore knee.
One notable event was LeGarrett Blount's run, it was a thing of beauty
as he absolutely leveled 2 defenders and run for a touch down.
Jaison Williams caught well but Pflugrad dropped a couple..wouldn't ya know it.
Tonio Celotto inpressed me getting into the backfield a couple of times
and Nick Reed did his thing with a couple of speed rushes from the right side
disrupting the Offensive play. 
The Defense won 2 of 3 today.

     Day 4 (April 7, 2008)

Today was in the "Mo" center again as it was blustery and raining off
and on, there were no full contact plays but that seemed to go out the
window now and again.
Roper and Kempt were sacked the first go around and the defense
had the upper hand for a while. The offense came back the next set and did better.
Jeff Maehl, Pflugrad and Alston had a good day and JWill did good.

  Day 5 Spring Practice                                                                  
                                                                                                 
  Terrance Pritchett #52 (LB) was a handful,                                    Cade Cooper handing off to LeGarrette Blount
Chris Harper showed some promise and of
Course LeGarrette Blount.
Paysinger earned a plus mark today with his play, Blake Ferras
got hurt and it appears to be an ankle or foot.
JJ left early but showed back up with ice on his knee.  

Mike Bellotti's briefing indicates and it shows raw talent of the
new members of the team, inconsistencies yet there is promise.
Free Safety is a position that has been a focus of several players.
There will be some switching positions the next couple of weeks
to see how it goes and just seeing who may have the talent and
skills

   Day 6 Spring Practice  (April 10, 2008)                                                                     Drew Davis #10
Practice was held in Autzen Stadium and early on it was
breezy with intermittant clouds, it warmed up quickly.
The Offense got off to a slow start but came back and made it
a game.
Andre Crenshaw gets the kudos's because he ran like an
antelope most of the day.
#91 Harris came up with an interception from Roper at the line.
LeGarrette Blount did well but was stopped by about 5 or 6
Defenders on one play.
It was pretty much a toss up but I believe the Offense was
the stronger and took the game.
It appeared most of the scrimmage is still being done with
players in different spots as a try out to see what might work
the best, there was also inconsistencies by the QB's but Cody
Kempt looked better in his play.
