    This is what I heard about Wing but not sure on the accuracy of it. His left leg is longer than the right. So with his left he hits punts with more hang time and with his right he kicks it further down field. Still weird...

    I don't think I've watched Australian rules football since the early days of ESPN when they'd air it all night. Why do they kick with both legs? I've always felt I could punt a football better than all of my friends but my left leg would be lucky to just make contact.

    Like rugby, Australian football often involves kicking while running so they get used to having to use either leg depending on the position and defense situation.

    Back in full contact jersey the last practice and I believe the practice before yesterday too. He said he was slightly nicked up.

    Looking forward to a big year from Blackwell. It was evident when he was in the lineup last year, the OL was a better unit. See the Cotton Bowl for example.

    Wright always seems to put up numbers in practice but I never see him talked about as a WR in the rotation. Could someone give a brief overview of his skills along with Boone & Armand Williams if possible? With Beckham & Landry coming into the mix, what does the depth chart expect to be after Randle & Shep (if active)?

    Chemistry is obviously huge for the OL. I think I read last year that Hurst said he & Blackwell work really well together and feel they can be dominant run blockers on the right side.
