(S2) - Weekend PT #2 - Rookies first practice

[timeconsumer]

Day one of practice was like any other first practice after the offseason. A lot of sprints. Half the guys had put on 20 pounds in the offseason and were visibly slowly for it. But Coach won't have any of that, so if you don't make weight your whole unit runs extra sprints. Luckily for some units, their guys all came in from the offseason as lean as they were during the regular season. So with Verns and Petrakis looking like Ninja Warrior competitors the defensive back rookie class was lucky enough to get right to practice and skip the extra sprints.

But unfortunately for rookie offensive lineman Finkenlarkin, his whole unit came in overweight, particularly Angus Winchester who has put on another 20 pounds. So while Finkenlarkin is still a hefty 340lbs, he was still in better shape than most and could have done without the extra set of sprints. So while other guys are getting their reps in at practice the linebackers, offensive linemen, tight ends, and RBs are spending all their time going up and down the sideline. Will the rookies miss out on valuable practice reps because of this, and cause the Otters next season to suffer? Only time will tell.
