Keith and Thomas are at the Monday media opportunity:
* Urban Meyer said that Jeremy Brown, Ahmad Black, Jay Howard, Janoris Jenkins, Justin Trattou, Jon Bostic and AJ Jones graded out as Champions on defense.
* The only offensive player to grade out as a Champion was left tackle Marcus Gilbert.
* Frankie Hammond Jr. will play this week if he does everything right.
* Meyer said that Andre Debose isn't hurt or suspended.
* Moses Jenkins will miss 4 to 6 weeks with a hyper-extended elbow.
* Both Will Hill and Carl Johnson should return from suspension this week.
* Meyer attributed the bad snaps to Mike Pouncey failing to lock his wrists during the snap attempts. He said that sweat on the ball also attributed to the bad snaps and that John Brantely's focus must improve.
* Meyer said that Matt Patchan won't be back this week, but they are hoping that Xavier Nixon will be able to return.
* Mike Gillislee was the special teams player of the week.
* Meyer said they hope to have TE Jordan Reed back this week. They will know more tomorrow (Tuesday).
* He said that the number one disappointment was ball security. No. 2 was the blocking on the perimeter.
* John Brantley said that he and Pouncey got together and worked on snaps for a long time yesterday. Brantley said the problems came out of the blue, they had no issues during fall practice.
