How the hell does one do that?

I don't mean to cause problems by asking about something on the team not being perfect for everything. It just seems we all get a little too caught up in this stuff considering that they are in shorts and such making it all look easy right now.

The best ever story I heard about a "blogger" spinning a story involved a Mr. Thomas Dunson. Gerry D was having one of his grueling long arse practices and Thomas was getting owned by the offensive line. When he was not being blocked every now and then he would end up in front of a back who would proceed to plow his arse over, and sometimes they would both fall down. I heard it being described that he was moving like a 50 year old in cowboy boots.
The next day this blogger put in his practice report that T. Dunson looked really good and was in on a great deal of the tackles.

They will have to throw the ball before he passes the line of scrimmage so he doesn't outrun the pass.

Is there any media person out there who might consider reporting just one thing from practice that is not completely positive? There has to be someone making mistakes.

I admit Tigerrag always paints a P&G picture but they did report the recievers dropping a bunch of balls yesterday and getting pushups.

Can you imagine the qb trying to find him over the middle?

Hopefully they don't have much negative right now being that they are mostly doing drills and what not. It's not like they are playing teams where we can talk about interceptions or fumbles. Just give it time, some negative will come out, but for now let's enjoy the positive!
