EMU football practice notes: Last double-day was finished 'the right way'
Here are some notes from Wednesday’s Eastern Michigan football practice:
-- It was the last of two-a-day practices and, naturally, it was a rainy day. “This was a good, last double-day,” First-year coach Ron English said. “I thought the guys had good emotion, good intensity. I thought we got a lot out of it.”
-- Again, English seemed to be keeping a close eye on the secondary, but when questioned he downplayed that. “Not necessarily,” he said, “but the coaches let me coach a little bit, and I like coaching individuals so they give me a chance and I do it.”
Ron English, Eastern Michigan begin camp
Veteran quarterback Andy Schmitt takes new coaching staff in stride
He’s participated in five Eastern Michigan football camps, but today’s opening practice was different than any of the previous.
Fifth-year senior Andy Schmitt is a seasoned vet when it comes to quarterbacking the Eagles. This season, however, it will be his only without former coach Jeff Genyk running the show.
Schmitt is No. 1 on the depth chart and has been studying new coach Ron English’s and offensive coordinator Ken Karcher’s playbook since March. Genyk, who was fired in November 2008 after five seasons, ran a spread offense. This season, EMU will run a pro-style offense.
