I won't lie I'm concerned about Braxton. Nothing was said at the open of camp of a pitch count then after he gets sore after day 1 and goes limited it becomes all part of the plan.

While his time off certainly helped JT (glad he's the backup now) I see no way how Braxton can improve with an off season such as the one he's had with all the reps he has missed.

The original plan was always to control the volume of throws. Since the start of camp.

Notes:

- Braxton scrimmaged today with limited throws. Hoping to take big step on Monday & remains right on schedule. Coach knows he'll be ready.
- Darryl Baldwin is starting RT, Decker LT, Elflein RG. Hale, Farris, Price & Underwood battling for next two spots.
- Chad Lindsay's shoulder is a little dinged up, but scrimmaged today.
- Safety looks "strong". Mentions Burrows, Bell, Powell, Smith & Tanner.
- 2012 class coming of age, 2013 should've had bigger impact (besides Bosa), 2014 looking good with instant impact players.
- Luke Fickell & Chris Ash working great together. Obviously still TBD, but so far it's what Urban wants.
- Corners are a little banged up. Doran Grant having great camp, but was held out of scrimmage with hamstring (could've played). Conley dealing with sore back (didn't scrimmage), Lattimore dealing with hamstring (didn't scrimmage), Reeves dealing with hamstring. Mentions again Doran having a great camp. 2nd corner still TBD.
- RB: Zeke back in rotation, but no contact yet. Brionte & Rod having really good camps. Curtis Samuel still having a good camp (hasn't hit that freshman wall)
- No serious injuries to speak of, but nagging injuries are leading to inconsistency.
- Tommy Schutt most improved player, with Darryl Baldwin being a close second.
- Steve Miller & Rashad Frazier will replace Noah Spence. Jalyn Holmes making a push. During Navy period in practice, Spence moves to scout team. Will be the same with VT prep. Need to keep him engaged & continue to practice.
- Coach feels good about the team. Nagging injuries, but fighting through them. Chemistry is good. Team won't practice tomorrow & says they earned that.
- Nick Vannett having good camp.
- JT Barrett slightly ahead of Cardale now. Coach feels good about backup QB situation. JT making great strides & "acting like a QB now".
- Says it's a street fight for the ball right now, so don't have a bad day.
- Devin Smith dealing with tight hamstring. Mike Thomas & Corey Smith have stepped up.
- Coach stays at the hotel every year during camp. Doesn't have a roommate. Likes being able to visit with the freshmen and those dealing with home sickness, etc.
- Tyquan Lewis dealing with migraines. Jalyn Holmes has stepped up with him out a couple days. Tyquan remains in the mix.
- Taylor Decker is acting like a Captain. Really impressed with his leadership skills & acts like a grown man. Credits last year's OL & Coach Warinner for that.

The VT game is going to be a challenge. VT will force us to throw so who ever is behind center will be under a lot of pressure to complete passes because VT will load the box.
It's going to be a really interesting and challenging start for the top Big teams.
The Big could really take a hit early on. MSU at Oregon. Wiscy playing LSU in Texas. Us playing VT.
