Brick finished up his stretches and got his helmet strapped in. He always loved these days and getting to know the new teammates on his side of the ball. He began getting an idea of what all he was going to be able to do as a scheme setter was ideal. The big and tall corner to his side and his new eighteen wheeler of a defensive linemen in front of him made him pretty confident that he was gonna be able to have a little fun with how he was going to attack offenses this year. Normally the stars on offense like Rafa and Adam weren't going to be playing in these early drills so he was probably going to get one or two shots at them while he and the rest of the freshmen would work the whole time to understand each other's tendencies.

Once the team's were picked by the coach Brick looked around and saw a good helping of young guys around him while he was one of the more seasoned players in the huddle. Brick smiled and looked at them all. Certain guys had the initial nervousness he expected, where a couple of other people in there had that kind of look in their eyes you see every once in a good long while. Brick smiled at them all and began laughing a bit. “Alright boys its time to start making a kind of splash only you guys can. I expect nothing but your best. In time we're gonna be doing this stuff against guys I really don't like. Right now we are going up against brother's in arms alright. Just keep it civil,” He told them while pausing slightly to get a good look at who all they were going to be facing off with the first few snaps. Seeing Rafa, Adam and Colin made him smile. “But don't go too easy on them you know. Make a pop if you can.” He told them with a laugh as he went to his position on the field.

The first few snaps went well for them all. The young defensive linemen clearly had a good eye for tendencies and let him know about the tight end on one play. It allowed him to give a quick audible at the line as they were able to stop the play from really getting off the ground. Bustamante clearly had a knack for letting his presence know as he laid Colin out on one hit and McKenna put some serious pressue on Rafa as he destroyed the fullback on the play. Each sight made Brick jump for joy as he couldn't wait to see all these young guys could do after putting in some more work on the field. This was going to be a hell of a year to be sure.

Brick got pulled a little later on and after practice he went to his locker with a towel over his head. Granted he didn't play much but the heat still gets you even when you stand still. Rafa began talking about a party at the Watchtower and about how he was shooting for some sorority girls to show up as well. He laughed a bit at Rafa's sell of the get together. He always seemed like he wanted to get as much partying done early on that way the team would be partied out come conference play. Brick waved his hand at Rafa. “I'd love to join you in the party Rafa, but I may just be a little late. I promise the LB coach to go over tape of some of the practice footage to start working on what the freshmen need to sort out. Though I don't think McKenna and Bustamante need to work on much. Guys are smart and I think you saw first hand the benefit of country power.” Brick joked at Rafa as he took the towel off his head and began getting his shirt on. Once that was on he sat down to finish putting on his shoes.

Looking over at Colin he gave him a quick smack on the leg to get his attention. “And this guy might already have plans. Ivy was up there cheering you on all kinds. She's getting into mid season form too I guess.” He laughed as he stood back up and gave the group a look over. Giving the other captains a quick nod he walked over to the freshmen Bustamante and McKenna who were nearby each other's lockers. Giving them both a tap on the shoulder and a laugh, he shot an approving look at the two of them. “You boys showed a lot of ass kicking ability out there today guys. Welcome to Sentinel State fellas. You need anything you all just let me know. Brick Newell.” He said as he left a hand out to properly introduce himself to the new guys on the team.
