Can’t tell you much else beyond that. It was a rather uneventful 30 minutes were were allowed to observe and photograph — apart from a spectacular media/sports information blowup that came earlier than ever before. We’re in midseason form! 

Iwas more interested in watching the coaches operate and interact, but Geno Smith was mobile and at least threw the ball with some pop. The first pass we saw, though, was intercepted by Brantwon Bowser, who had an intereption earlier. The second pass we saw sailed 10 yards out of bounds.

A seemingly more svelte Shawne Alston ran well and Trey Johnson ran fast. Bruce Irvin terrorized whoever was playing tackle on either side and I felt pretty bad for RT Pat Eger, who on the first day couldn’t keep up with Irvin. After practice, wide receivers coach Shannon Dawson taunted Irvin and said, “No sacks today, Bruce!” Irvin looked as stunned as Pat Eger.

Tyler Urban stood out, as well. He caught some passes and was, of course, asked about later when Bill Stewart met the media.

Only Stewart and the assistant coaches were available, so don’t expect to see Dana Holgorsen’s take on his first day of practice. That was planned previously by Holgorsen, who wanted to get a few days under his belt before he talked about what was and was not happening.

Obviously, Daron Roberts was the most popular among the pool of assistants. His story is very cool, we know, but the story behind the story is even better. He got a workout on the first day and threw a lot of passes in drills we saw. Click here to see.

(Update: Here are some interviews from after practice. Looks like everyone is saving Daron Roberts stuff … which is good. So, too, Shannon Dawson telling a reporter he’s more athletically apt to run out to get a hamburger than run a replacement or slant route.)
