Some jawing at practice
The defense had the better of play on day one of minicamp Friday and it prompted them to challenge their offensive counterparts all the more with some talk.
Donte Whitner got things going when he anticipated a screen play and started yelling, “Screen, screen.”
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick hearing this changed the play and Whitner had a few more words for the offense indicating it was a good idea to change it.
From time to time offensive players told defensive players to simmer down and be quiet. But the defensive players kept egging the offensive players on, and it became all the easier with the number of plays they were making.
Reggie Corner however, made sure to point out that it’s all in the name of good competition.
“It makes it a lot more fun out there for everybody,” said Corner of the chatter back and forth. “Those that talk have to make plays, but it is respectful and it’s designed to get the guy going against you to go harder in practice.”
Practice has been spirited this week and the talking has been part of the reason for it.
