Wow. Rawls bowls over Ross Douglass AND his lead blocker Norfleet.

Who is the big gumpy white guy ball carrier? Is that Shallman? He looks kinda soft in that role.

Under the new enforcement provisions against head to head contact, could a penalty ever be called when two linemen routinely  collide?  I stopped the vid for several of the blocks, and it is very obvious helmets are hitting, which is obvious from the sound and from the way helmets look after games.

There actually has been some concern expressed over the risk of concussions with this drill.  I'm no concussion expert, and I don't have an opinion one way or another.  But it's out there:

This drill is known everywhere outside of Ann Arbor as the "Oklahoma Drill."

One thing I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is the center battle, and after this small smaple of evidence I must say that I don't think Graham Glasgow is forcing his way into the competition, it's more like Jack Miller is letting him.  Neither particularly impressed me and I might even give the nod to Glasgow because he's bigger.

But I had a couple of things I noted:

1: Loved the hig by Rawls, then on his other runs he kept trying to go around and I kept going, "NO! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" I fear he will never develop. The wood laying power is there, but he seems afraid to use it. You're not a homerun threat! You are a battering ram!

 

2. I wish Gunderson had developed skill wise. Just massive.

 

3. Norfleet.
