Just got back from tonight's practice that was partially opened to the media for a few minutes at the end.
And what we saw, well, head coach James Franklin was not very pleased about. Describing the practice as sloppy, he had to resort to making the team run wind sprints at the end of practice, which he called "junior high stuff."
"I wasn’t happy with today," said Franklin. "I think we’re a mature football team. You guys know, I never run guys after practice. We don’t do - that’s junior high stuff. I thought we were sloppy today. You guys know I’m a pretty positive guy, but I thought we were sloppy. We had too many penalties, balls on ground, dropped balls - just lack of discipline. So I was not pleased with today, but overall I thought we’ve had a damn good spring, but I was not pleased with today."
I'll get into some notes here for you but while I'm running through those notes - helpfully transcribed by Tim Owen - take a look at the post-practice media session with Franklin, below.
Ryan is running through some pictures for a gallery, and I'll have notes hopefully within the next 20-30 minutes for you guys. In the meantime, enjoy the video and check back with me here around 8:15-8:30.
