Spencer Ready; Holmgren Dismissive

Robbie Tobeck better no get so much as a hangnail, because Chris Spencer is ready to become a dominator:


"On one particular day of drills, it was quite apparent how far Spencer has come. Russell Davis, the 6-4, 306-pound defensive end exploded into Tobeck, flattening him. Next up was Spencer, who stood Davis straight up. On the next rep, Spencer did the same to Chuck Darby. Those may only be drills, and yet they are indications of his quickness, power, and potential as a dominating blocker."

Earlier today, Mike Sando reported that Holmgren kicked everyone off the practice field, presumably because of a poor practice session. It was later reported that afternoon practice was "improved". Later, Tim Ruskell tempered the reports with his explanation:


“It wasn’t good practice this afternoon, but it wasn’t like it was terrible this morning, There were certain things he wanted to get done, when you want to be a champion, you have to practice like a champion. He has expectations for them. They have expectations for themselves. You never want to dip below that and think you’re not meeting those expectations... If you allow that to happen, then you slip into habits that won’t take you through a season at that high level - especially how tough this season promises to be.”

At least he didn't take them to the water park.
