In the first video, it looked like he was going gloveless in solo drills but wearing them in scrimmages and drills with the DBs. Could have just left them at home that morning though.

regarding the qb competition
regarding the qb competition
“If we’re being 100 percent honest, it’s the typical deal,” Sanford said Monday. “It’s ebbs and flows. There are days where certain guys have a strong day, even kind of in waves, too.”
“The way it works is actually even within a day there are various drills where there’s a guy who’s one. So if you guys come to the first 45 minutes of practice, you might not see the whole picture. It might be your day to work (with the first-team offense) when it’s a full unit, 11-on-11 period. …But that means that in 7-on-7 and skell and stuff of that nature, half-line pass, you’re going to be working with the second group.”
What’s good is that we have the opportunity to talk through what the issues were and it creates a good dialogue which is what we want,” he said. “We want them to internalize the information and the why, which has been really positive. That’s what I love about working with coach Kelly…he really promotes that type of dialogue with the quarterbacks. He’s a guy that’s not every single time, it’s, ‘That’s wrong. You’re wrong. You’re dead wrong. Let’s move on.’ It’s, ‘You’re wrong. This is why you’re wrong.’ And that works really well with myself, coach Kelly and that group in particular.”
“To say that we’re going to really give any kind of huge, big-picture feedback right after spring ball, it’s premature to say that right now,” he said. “We’re still caught up in the process of each and every day. Obviously that will be something that we talk about as an offensive staff and take in a lot of input on that from each one of the offensive assistant coaches, and most importantly from coach Kelly, and I’ll guide that with the data that I’ve come up with and then we’ll find out what’s the best course of action to proceed forward with the offseason.”
“Probably the surprising thing for me is how quickly Malik got off to a good start in terms of the first few days of practice dating back to three weeks ago,” Sanford said. “There wasn’t quite the rust early on that we all anticipated. He did a nice job of coming back and playing the game, playing football the way that he had left off and I think now it’s…with him it’s all about simplifying it, making the game easy, letting the game come to him, because he can do some great things when the game is right.”

How are people trying to read that video as a negative thing? Maybe he has that much confidence in himself that he trust the one-hand catch (to allow himself to still turn up field) over twisting his body to get two hands around. Maybe he said "eff it I'm going to go for broke to impress the coaches here" and just went for it. Who the hell knows what the practice situation was? Maybe it was 3rd and very long and losing all momentum to secure a 2-hand catch was going to mean no chance to pick up the 1st down? Seems weird to critique a kid off of one play.

“I tried to absorb anything and everything they said,” Morgan said. “We’d be in meeting rooms and Joe would be right here (looking to immediate left), I’d be like, ‘Joe, what does this mean?’ Jay would be over there, I’d be like, ‘Jay, Jay, did I run it?’
“I tried to get as much as I could from them because I knew everything they said was beneficial.”
“Playing Mike (linebacker), you have to be confident,” Morgan said. “If you ain’t, the game’s going to get ugly.”
“The fact that he runs out there and he knows he’s the guy and he’s driving it, and he’s running it, and he’s the alpha dog there, then that’s where I think we’ve seen a difference in his confidence and his ability to go out there and not look over his shoulder and get thrown out because he had a mental error,” said linebacker coach Mike Elston. “He knows he’s the guy. He knows he has to get it right and he has to spend extra time on it, so I think that’s the biggest key for it, is the confidence.”
“Joe Schmidt was a smart player,” said coach Brian Kelly. “A heady player. But he wasn’t the most physically gifted player that we had. Nyles Morgan is a tough, physical football player, and so what we’ve asked him to do is to be himself.
“You’re not Joe Schmidt, but he’s doing a great job of getting us lined up. Now that you’ve got that and that’s not an issue in front of him, be who you are, and he’s a physically tough player. We want that personality to come out, and if that does, you’ll bring others around you and that toughness will start to show itself.”
“It’s like having the keys to the kingdom,” Morgan said. “If it’s yours, it’s yours. You can own it. Take hold of it. And then from there it’s just keep climbing.”

wish BVG and kelly would watch the 85 bears 30 for 30. They should see how Buddy Ryan's D all came together when he cut the playbook in half.

I'm still hoping BVG comes to realize Diaco's dream and implement the "CAT Attack" defense that Bobby was recruiting for years ago. 9 CAT LBs on the field and 2 DBs, it was going to be deadly...one way or the other.

We'd know after a series whether it was genius or insanity. Meow!
Agree. Had one of the best players in program history and he had like 3 sacks in 3 years. WTF?
