Thursday evening notes

Here are a couple things, quickly. It's been a long day.

* Practice got cut short by about 30 minutes by a stinking deluge. They got in two hour-plus workouts today.
* Lee Ziemba got back out in the morning some and then some more in the afternoon.
* Saw Zach Clayton walking around looking rather pirate-like with gauze taped over his eye. He got poked in the eye on inside running drill yesterday, but Tommy Tuberville said he might be back tomorrow.
* Same for Jason Bosley, who injured his back during pass-rush drills yesterday. He missed both practices today, but Tuberville said he might be back tomorrow. His absence allowed Ryan Pugh to get some valuable experience working with the ones at center. Read more about that in Friday's Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.
* Tony Franklin said there were too many drops in the morning session, but I saw some nice grabs in pass skeleton and two-minute drill in the afternoon. In pass skeleton, Montez Billings, James Swinton and Chris Slaughter all made nice touchdown catches. Derek Winter caught a TD from Chris Todd in two-minute drill and Tommy Trott added a 2-point catch from Todd.
* D'Antoine Hood and Neiko Thorpe both rotated in with the ones some on the first two-minute drill against the starting offense.
* I saw Tez Doolittle get out there to work with the twos (I believe) on the second go-round of the two-minute drill, against the second-team offense with Kodi Burns under center.
* They're slated to practice tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.
* Oh yeah, and the scrimmage at the stadium Saturday will be closed unless you're extra special, which I'm not, nor apparently are the other members of the media. I'm sure the statistics they provide afterward will be fully representative of what happens and completely accurate, though. So don't worry there.
