Again, pussies. We did not go in unless the tree next to the field got struck. Damn millennials!

Appleby must be a grad assistant - he was walking with them out to practice. Or is he just there visiting?
Edit: I see Dallas already waived him.

#57 is huge also...these boys look like upperclassmen
#57 is Elijah Conliffe. He definitely looks the part. Hopefully, he can make an impact at one of the DT spots as a True Freshmen.

You are such a dildo.
Zero doubt in my mind the kicker could kick your ass.
Feaux Macho from a teacher. Love it.
NFL teams, college teams, SEALS and Green Berets train in AC. Why? Because it is the most efficent and effective way to do it.
Our football team spends around 1000 hiurs conditioning. Much of it is outside, running, doung cardio, speed and agility drills, etc. That is where we they get conditioned, during conditioning.
Practice is often conducted in ac because organized practice is strictly limited to a very few number of hours per week. Conditioning can be done an unlimited number of hours per week. What we want is our kids functioning at peak mental performance so they can understand what the coaches are trying to cram into their heads in such little time. Being dehydrated and dealing with 100 degree temperature doesn't lead to Peak mental performance.
You sound like those moron coaches who used to run the kids for two hours and think that they were toughening them up by not giving them water the whole time.
But the truth is it is just sour grapes from the guy who spent years prophesing that the Almighty Fooley would never allow modern facilities.
Are you sitting in the AC right now? Why, you pussy? Cant drink your afternoon bourbons in the heat?

The 247 article said that Desir-Jones has already fallen down the depth chart behind Slaton and Conliffe, based on the eye-test alone. Hope the new guys have a nasty streak in them.

Im sure he wasnt. He has pissed and moaned about the ipf and every other penny we've ever spent on facilities.
Educators think that money should be theirs and that they don't make enough for their three to six hour workweek 8 months a year jobs.

The best offensive show on TV this season. So we will be like the 99 - early 2,000s St Louis Rams offense. I like the confidence however.

Some observations seem to be:
Toney was being used at WR some but was dropping most of the passes that came his way.
This is the biggest looking Gator team in some years.
Del Rio is struggling. Fumbled right off the bat apparently and his throws are off mostly.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida held its first practice of fall camp on Thursday afternoon, with the newcomers and some second-year players and walk-ons taking part in the first of two sessions inside the indoor practice facility.
GatorBait.net recaps the highlights from the sessions that were open to the media.
The timing was pretty good for a newcomers practice
There wasn't a whole lot of live reps in the sessions available to the media, which is typical for the newcomer session to open camp. The team didn't start with its normal fastball period, which is a series of quick plays run in full 11-on-11.
Instead, the coaches broke players down into position work immediately.
The quarterbacks and receivers threw a lot of routes in Thursday's work, and the timing for both quarterback Kyle Trask and Jake Allen was impressive. Typically Florida doesn't mix in more complex routes until later in camp, but both threw a handful of high-difficulty routes.
The one that stood out the most was in red zone work, with receivers running a double move pattern that initially broke out like a corner route before tacking back and going into a deep post. Quarterbacks were supposed to throw right as the receiver went into his break off the corner route into the post, meaning it was completely a timing throw.
Trask threw a couple exceptionally well-timed passes, while Allen was generally good.
In other routes, Allen showed a lot of zip on his passes, particularly on the slants. In fact, a couple of his receivers struggled to catch his slants. Kadarius Toney wore an orange non-contact quarterback jersey but spent his time at receiver. He had a couple drops and didn't look very natural catching the ball, fighting it with his hands at times.
But overall, it was a fairly good debut for Allen working with new receivers in his first practice.
The defensive signees definitely look the part
Florida signed a lot of players it's going to count on defensively in the 2017 cycle, and the vast majority of them look physically ready to play from Day 1.
Though there wasn't contact in the sessions open to the media, both defensive linemen Tedarrell Slaton and Elijah Conliffe looked extremely imposing. They both have towering frames and look like they can withstand the physicality of the SEC.
The cornerbacks were also a very impressive group. Marco Wilson has terrific size, as does Brian Edwards (though Edwards is a little leaner). Christopher Henderson also worked with the cornerbacks.
Working with the safeties were freshmen Brad Stewart, Shawn Davis and Donovan Stiner. For what it's worth, Wilson, Henderson, Stewart and Davis were with the defense taking first-team reps.
Other News & Notes
-- At linebacker, Lacedrick Brunson lined up at middle linebacker, while Ventrell Miller lined up on the strong side and James Houston lined up on the weak side.
-- Antonneous Clayton and Jordan Smith were two second-year players working in the first session of the day, and they were clearly leaders in the group. They were both very energetic at the start of practice, leading Swamp Jacks and riling up the rest of the players.
-- One player who appears in serious danger of getting passed up on the depth chart is redshirt sophomore Richerd Desir-Jones. He moved from the offensive line to the defensive line in spring camp to shore up the defensive tackle numbers. But he was towered over by not only Slaton and Conliffe but also defensive end Zachary Carter. He appears much less physically imposing than his listed 6-foot-4, 292-pound frame would suggest.
-- Tight end Kemore Gamble is one player who has made some serious physical progress over the summer. He looks as big as any of Florida's current tight ends, but he was still moving extremely well on Thursday.
-- Allen's release was inconsistent but intriguing. He tends to release the football from a side angle, but he gets it out fairly quickly.
