Nobody is exempt from the watchful
eye of the University of New Mexico
coaching
staff. Even the ramblings of "professional" writers of TheRedMenace.com
staff! Okay I can’t even joke about being calling us professionals...
Quick poll, what makes Coach Locks smile more?
A.) Watching Demond Dennis make moves like this.
B.) Busting the chops of TRM writers
Today Coach Locks after watching freshman Demond Dennis make a quick
move to
the sidelines, make an unbelievable cut back and split two defenders en
route
to a touchdown, an excited Coach Locks yelled out, "that's freshman
Demond
Dennis, not Desmond Dennis!" towards Mike "The
Anonymous One" and myself with that trademarked Coach Locks'
grin! We had a good laugh, but I have a feeling Coach Lock's grin had
more to do more
with watching Double D's play then it did with busting our chops, and
why not?
Dennis has had a pair of good practices, has confidence, and on the
field
remains humble while soaking in the college experience.
Donovan Porterie and B.R. Holbrook led today’s team and I must say DP
is making
his case to be the starting QB early putting the ball where it needs to
be, and
when in trouble pulled the ball down and take off. DP said he had
confidence in
the knee and today he proved it. Holbrook who many people think is one
dimensional pocket passer showed that he to can run with the ball when
asked
to.
Dennis wasn't the only frosh showing today as Adam Watson and Myles Daughtry also had a nice showing today.

Defensively Frankie Solomon is looking really
good, and the senior looks to
have improved his coverage ability. Former safety and starting LB Clint McPeek
was able to scoop up a batted ball for an interception and I thought
Anthony Hooks made a couple of nice plays, and Bubba Forrest also had a couple
of break
ups. You can tell these guys are revved up and ready to get the pads a
cracking! Coach Locks told the hungry defensive backfield that he is
going to
let them hit receivers soon enough... "I promise you guys, you will be
able to hit them, but until then, just tag them." Like General Maximus
in
the movie Gladiator, Coach Locks is about to unleash hell!
Clint
McPeek not just a hitting machine.
Hey Bubba!
Speaking
of unleashing hell… Sr. DeAndre Davis and Fr.
Jacori Greer just dominated their side of the line! Play after play
Davis and
Greer were on quarterbacks! Davis nearly had an interception while he
and Greer
had more then their fair share of sack opportunities!
Jacori Greer zooms in for a sack!
Offensive Play
Maker of Practice
QB
Donovan Porterie
This
is going to sound a little weird, but Donovan looks to
have gained his sophomore form physically, and senior form mentally.
Put it
together with the teaching of Coach Tee Martin and DP is really looking
like
the leader of this team.
Defensive Player Maker
of Practice
DE
DeAndre Davis
They
only ran a few plays, but DeAndre was like a can opener
on the defensive line, and once he opened up that can of whoop ass it
was on!
Davis jumped up and in a super athletic move nearly had the INT. He
followed
that up with more trips to sack or harass the QB then Wes does to band
camp!
And when DeAndre hit the sidelines, DE Jacori Greer came in and
exploited what
DeAndre had crushed!
