PLAYS OF THE DAY
The enthusiasm was high as the team period opened with goal line situations. The offence was first on the board as quarterback Darian Durant found offensive lineman Dan Clark in the end zone. The defence answered back on the next play as linebacker Brian Peters stripped the ball away from the running back before it was scooped up by defensive Dwight Anderson for the turnover.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Head Coach Corey Chamblin on the offensive line: “The good thing is that they are intact, the bad thing is that they can’t get complacent. We’ve discussed a few things to try to light a fire under those guys to get them going and have them move forward. They can’t sit back and say ‘hey look what we did last year and we still play together.’ They have to take their game to another level.”

FAN ACCESS
Select players will be available to fans for autographs along the west fence line following the afternoon practices throughout the week. Today the receivers walked the fence line and spent time with fans. The linebackers are on the schedule for Thursday.

TOMORROW
Players and coaches will hit the practice field at Griffiths Stadium for Day 5 of training camp with two practice sessions. The first practice will take place at 8:15AM, while the second will start at approximately 3:00PM.
