From the Titans. Can anybody explain the OK Drill??


(on whose idea it was to have Blidi Wreh-Wilson and Justin Hunter go at it during the Oklahoma drill)
We wanted to get some rookie-on-rookie there. They’ve been teasing Justin I think, and I think they all wanted to see him out there. You saw the response when he got out there. So, we thought it would be nice taking him out and seeing the rooks battle out there. It was fun to watch.

Mano y mano but this link does a nice job.

"The Oklahoma drill has several variations. The most common involves two players lined up three yards opposite one another. A corridor is set up typically using three blocking bags on each side of the players lined up top to bottom to create a wall, and the walls are spaced about one yard apart. This creates an area of about three feet by nine feet. The two players, at the sound of the whistle, then run at one another and the drill is over when one of the players is on the ground, or if a ball carrier is involved when he is tackled. If a player is able to drive the other player out of the corridor, that also ends the drill."

From Redskins camp today:
• Rookie receiver Nick Williams has also shown a physicality much bigger than his 5-10, 184-pound frame. Including his work on special teams, Williams earned praise from his position coach Mike McDaniel on offense after his run blocking downfield during full-team drills. Doing the dirty work for teammates will go a long way with this coaching staff.

Surprised about Todman. They have Denard Robinson ahead of him as a RB. Teams pick him up then don't use him. Vikings, Jags.

Todman has been hurt whenever his chances have come up. You can't make a team if you're unavailable when they need you.

Colts on whether or not they keep Donald Brown,

Vick has looked good, and so has Donald. I think a lot of fans are eager to see how this unfolds, and we have four games to do it. Again, that’s the value of preseason games. They get a knock from some people, but they are vital. There have been a number of Pro Bowlers who were undrafted free agents.
