I talked to my boy right after class today. They had mat drills for the first time this morning at Florida Gym.

They have to go over at 6 in the morning before classes. They break down in 7-8 groups by position and rotate to different stations about every 5 minutes.

It isn't what you would think. It's not football stuff. They do the speed and agility drills on Monday and Thursday in the afternoon. All these are is a way for the coaches to kick the player's butt.

Like in one station players will lay down on the mat and roll and the other player has to dive over him and roll and they keep doing that while the ones who aren't doing anything have to do up and downs the whole time.

At another station a player will get down and another player will be like in a wrestling position and he has to keep the guy from crawling to the other side. It's basically a controlled fight.

I won't say who the coaches were on for not doing a good job because I don't want to be accused of spreading negative rumors.

Justin Williams was in the receiver group.

The coaches loved the new lineman that went to the same high school as Demps.
