ATTIRE: Helmets and pads
LOCATION: Kajikawa Practice Fields
MEDIA AVAILABILITY: ~ 15 minutes (no 11-on-11)
GUESTS: QB Bryce Perkins was there, as were scouts from the NFL's Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans
EN VERDE: DB James Johnson (one day, knee)
LIMITED: OL Tyson Rising, LB Christian Sam
OUT LAST WEEK: Christian Sam participated in stretches, but then went instantly to Muscle Beach and was on the bike. QB Manny Wilkins participated in the media availability session from what I saw, but had a heavy tape job on his left ankle.
OTHER INJURY NOTES: LB DJ Calhoun had a light tape job on his left wrist. LB/S Tyler Whiley had a club on his right hand, but looked like he participated.
PERSONNEL NOTES: Christian Hill, who has been with the offense since being part of the Sparky package during Texas Tech week, was back in a white defensive jersey. RB Jason Lewis was in a scout team jersey.
TAKEAWAYS
ASU again worked on forcing takeaways during the opening session, working on scoop and score drills like the one shown below.
Also, Hill was shown above in that defensive jersey.
On the offensive end, they worked on ball security drills. As always, John Simon led the skill players through the gauntlet, with this week's message being "How are you going to respond?" (Obviously referencing last week).
TACKLING
Before you make any jokes, yes, ASU did tackling drills again.
Defensive backs worked with tackling rings, while the defensive linemen worked on tackling scout team players onto a mat. Focus was on hitting low and pad level today.
As always, if there's any questions/comments/concerns, let me know.
