TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Willie Simmons likes what he has seen thus far from his Florida A&M football team – on the field and on film.
The Rattlers’ new coach and staff spent Monday morning evaluating video from the Rattlers’ opening spring practices.
The sessions were highlighted by three consecutive practices over the weekend, punctuated by FAMU’s first practice in full pads Sunday afternoon.
“After four days, they have shown a lot of energy and enthusiasm,” said Simmons, whose team practices Tuesday and Thursday at 6 a.m. this week.
“The competition level has been really high. Players have been very receptive and really showing an initiative to pick things up.”
Simmons hasn’t wasted any time implementing new schemes on offense (spread) and defense (4-2-5).
He said there’s competition across the board, including quarterback, saying the intensity and attention to detail has picked up.
Players also have requested extra time with staff to help with the adjustments to a new system.
