Practice 08/06 with Post Practice Video

The gist of what I've seen on twitter:

Grier was the sharper of the two, but Harris looks good as well.
Calloway looked really good.
Scarlett is fast and big.
KT looks to be in much better shape than last year.
Halter and Ivey have gotten the reps at OT.
Worton has put on some good weight.
Pittman has been dropping passes.

I can't believe Pittman is dropping passes

Corrected for accuracy.

Pittman also ran wrong route in one of the vines I saw with Harris overthrowing him by a mile.

 

[NavetG8r]

Pittman has been dropping passes.

 

[Gator Fever]

I have a feeling Halter will hold his own on the line even when we get into SEC play.

Thompson was dropping them too. But, it's the first day, everyone's a little anxious and rusty.

 

[TheBigClaw]

Everyone drops some. God forbid he not be perfect like some here on Gatorchatter. Insert wink face

Apparently Callaway had a great day. Lots of mentions of him getting praised by the coaches. Also heard that he looked very solidly built. Thick, but in a good way for a skill guy.

 

[GatorInKnox]

Scarlett is fast and big.

Won't surprise me if he is the starter by the end of the year.

We have a nice stable of backs. With the OL situation, I suspect we will see all three pretty often.

My favorite quote from Coach Mac (who was not pleased with the WRs and QBs):

http://florida.247sports.com/Bolt/Mc...-work-38600431

It wasn’t great by any stretch of the imagination," he said. "Pitching and catching is the No. 1 thing we’ve got to consistently get better at, and I know it will." In particular, a drill working the receivers and quarterbacks through the route tree on air was sloppy. Grier didn't miss any throws, but Treon Harris had a rough go of it, throwing into the ground once, throwing behind receivers twice and badly overthrowing Chris Thompson once on a corner route out of bounds.
The aforementioned Robinson drop and a Latroy Pittman drop also came during the session on air.
Those are the kind of things that McElwain wants to clean up.
"I’m probably a little more critical because there’s no reason to me you should ever drop a ball on routes on air," McElwain said. "Likewise, there’s no reason to me that you should ever miss the throw on routes on air. It’s on air. There’s nobody else out there.
"The hard thing for guys to understand is the attention to detail and how important that route on air is. Sometimes guys do it thinking it’s a warmup. No. You have to understand that you’ve got to be critically detailed in that particular period. That’s one thing we continuously have to work on with those two groups. It’s not something we take lightly."

Pittman couldn't catch the Clap at an FSU sorority party.

Stray question. Why are so many of the coaches wearing vests or long sleeves?

 

[URGatorBait]

Fever is gonna be pissed when he reads this
