Football notes

Jerrod Johnson is making progress at QB, there is less drop-off between the second team and the first team, the coaches have a new way to signify the play ending on game film, and more..

I'm happy Jerrod is making progress, but knowing Fran, I don't think this means we'll be seeing more playing time from him than the token garbage duty at the end of blowouts. This is Fran's time to blow smoke up everyone's rear.

I did enjoy the new method to signify the end of the play on film:

" Throwing in the towel: A&M coaches created a way while watching film during spring drills to know when the whistle blew, so they could know if the players were going full tilt until the play ended.
"A manager holds a towel up when the ball is snapped and when we have a coach blow the whistle, [the manager] throws up the towel at the end the whistle," A&M offensive coordinator Les Koenning Jr. said. "So we can tell who is loafing on the play. "

I need to take note of that, b/c it may prove useful later on, when filming games.
