The catch at 2:17....where he has to slow a bit and slide to get in position to catch the ball.
That run at 2:54...you'd think he was a running back or something...bounces off the pile, runs a while, nearly breaks another tackle.
Can....not.....wait.
Also, nothing wrong with hype if you can back it up....and #7....he's got it covered.

My son was home for long weekend before camp started. Summer workouts were a couple notches above what he encountered last year after transferring. Everyone is living in the dorm during camp. If you were off campus you moved to the dorm. He said practice is followed by conditioning. He said it was going to be a grind, but he was looking forward to the pick up in intensity and they will be in shape and ready to go.

Thanks for the update, Tom. Sounds like this team is ready to get going!!!! Conditioning can never be underestimated - we've seen proof of that. Give your son our best and tell him we're ready to watch him work.

It seemed to me last year at the EIU game the 'Necks were in noticeably better condition than our cross State rivals.
If the 2016 Leathernecks have ratcheted up the conditioning a notch, EIU better take it up two or three notches

Yea, Eastern was just dropping like flies with the heat...leg cramps all over the place. We didn't seem to have the same problem at all.
