[JonDMiller]

I will be reposting tweets and notes that come in from the www today in this thread. If you are on twitter, you can follow the retweets there by following @hawkeyenation

Here are some other twitter accounts I would suggest following today and all season long:

@marcmorehouse, @hawkeyeinsider, @hlas, @hawkeyereport, @voiceofthehawks, @scottdochterman, @andrewlogue, @hawkeyefootball, @andy_hamilton, @storminspank

I may add more as I am probably forgetting some that are certainly worth following. Please do not make posts in this thread unless you are making your own practice observations. thanks

@marcmorehouse: Not practicing -- Ferguson, Covert, Gaglione, Shumpert.

 

[JonDMiller]

@Andy_Hamilton: Wegher is still absent.

 

[JonDMiller]

@marcmorehouse: Fiedorowicz just pancaked Poggi. You're gonna like 86.

 

[JonDMiller]

@marcmorehouse: Woody at No. 2. Ferentz at No. 2 center. MacMillan No. 2. Mike Meyer is kicking field goals

 

[JonDMiller]

@storminspank: The Aussie has a strong leg. (meaning Johny Mullings)

(Jon's note: I am very, very hopeful that Mullings can handle kickoff duties, if he can boom them. this will lead to more hidden yard advantages for the offense, if the defense forces its usual diet of three and outs...it will mean the offense will have less yards to navigate before getting into scoring zones)

 

[JonDMiller]

@andy-hamilton: From 42 yards: Mossbrucker 2-4, Murray 3-4.

 

[JonDMiller]

@andy_hamilton: Bernstine and Tanner Miller are working at safety. Castillo picked Wienke for 6

REMINDER: Please do no submit replies in this thread, unless you are making your own observations from the practice. thanks

 

[JonDMiller]

@andy_hamilton: Koeppel is working with the first team at C.

 

[JonDMiller]

Conor Boffeli is in the mix at guard and center. I recall last year the staff really liking what they had in him. If Keoppel wins the C battle this year, Boffeli and Ferentz will battle there next year.

 

[JonDMiller]

1st team OL: Reiff, Vandervelde, Koeppel, Gettis, Zusevics

 

[JonDMiller]

@storminspank: I need to see CJ Fiedorowicz's high school transcripts. No way he's a true frosh. Wow. Just a beast.

 

[JonDMiller]

DeAndre Johnson getting a lot of RB carries

 

[JonDMiller]

@hawkeyereport: Clayborn just blocked a FG. Big roar from the crowd on that one.

 

[JonDMiller]

FYI: there will be a complete transcript from Kirk's post practice presser on the site later this afternoon, and an entire aggregation of all the videos and stories from around the www as well

@marcmorehouse: No Prater in team drills.
