Footballs were flying all over the practice field during the six-on-six skeleton drills Thursday morning. The offense made some incredible throws and receptions during this practice. The defense never gave up and did get some stops, but that did not stop the defensive coaches from having some motivational words after the drill ended. Photo by Bruce Karnick
