Glad to see Sampson in Martin's face. I sure as hell hope they require Martin to play some defense this year.
Jason Friedman- By the way, no hint of awkwardness here. Been a very high energy, full effort and positive practice from all involved today.

sorry about the pics, here they go: No surprise, big emphasis on D early on. High energy focus on proper stance, close outs, communication, denials. http://pic.twitter.com/4UyCA0oO
Couple of things I thought were noteworthy... 1st picture looks like J-Hill has his hair in corn-rows.. I saw his twitter pic and he shaved up the sides so his dreads dont seem to go all around anymore.. We might be seeing corn-rows for the rest of the season(but I hope to goodness not) 2nd picture gives an obvious look at what our current depth chart looks like.. Lowry, Martin and Bud all being guarded by Flynn, Lee and T-Will... Would change if there's a trade, but also the signing of Marcus Morris will have something to do with that... I want Bud out of the starting Line-up...
