    Florida State football He trained in preparation on Wednesday morning game against North Carolina on Saturday.

    Seminoles (1-7) Defense deserved praise head coach Mike Norvelldisappointed with his crime which resulted in several players being dropped.

    “There were some players that were left behind offensively today, and the players that get the opportunity need to make sure that we take advantage of the opportunities that they get,” Norvell said.

    “Everyone talks about wanting more, but when you’re told that, you have to show that you’re ready for more. I thought there were some areas where we needed to be cleaner and better.”

    Here are three takeaways from Wednesday’s practice.

    Disappointing offense, lack of sharpness

    Crime it was bad.

    There were too many drops and incomplete passes As Seminoles Offensive players could not make an impact.

    Within a week Norvell said his team had to go “get the job done” The offensive performance did not reflect that. The coaching staff spent time coaching the players and fine-tuning the details, but they felt most of the energy came from the coaching staff and defensive players.

    It wasn’t a great day for quarterbacks due to dropped passes or turnovers. Brock Glenn and Luke Kromenhoek Both made strong shots at moments, but overall the offense was lacking consistency as a whole.

    Norvell said there were a few players who were limited in practice and he used that to give them more opportunities. He said there were missed opportunities in some positions.

    “There are some players who maybe weren’t in the rotation and got the opportunity. Whether it’s a mistake, lack of technique, fundamentals in some cases, we have to be better,” Norvell said. “There have been some good moments but I want the guys to be ready for it when they get their chance.”

    Seminoles‘ defense bundles a second powerful app

    While it was a day to forget for the offense, Seminoles’ defense took advantage and we put together a second straight solid workout.

    The defensive front was active, completing multiple passes at the line of scrimmage and putting pressure on the quarterbacks. darrell jackson He made a few big plays, scrambling through blocks to get into the backfield.

    He was good in pass coverage from both linebackers and the secondary; The units read the ball well and had pass interruptions. Ja’bril Rawls made an acrobatic tackle after reading a pass in the middle of the field. This was a powerful moment for the redshirt freshmen who had a good practice.

    Azareye’h Thomas and KJ Kirkland Both had big plays. Thomas had a few impressive passing rushes as he continued to dominate in practice.

    Kirkland made a good read on the throw to the back corner of the end zone and put his hand on the ball before the receiver had a chance to make a play.

    Young defenders playing games

    Norvell has praised his young defenders numerous times this season; Charles Lester III, Cai Bates and Ricky Knight have been impressive this season.

    Bates had a few good moments on Wednesday, especially in one-on-one coverage. He carried out his duties well, timing his moves well to break up passes and keep opposing players from making plays.

    Both Lester and Knight had strong moments.

    Lester was sticky in coverage, frequently closing in on opponents in pass protection, and wasn’t targeted much outside of one-on-one drills. Despite being on the scouting team, Knight continues to impress and is often one of the most effective players on the ball.

    Norvell was pleased with his defensive performance.

    “I’ve been really pleased with what I’ve seen from this group, I think they have a big upside,” Norvell said. “These guys haven’t gotten a lot of opportunities in the game, so for now they’re scouting and trying to maximize every rep. They’re competitive, they work, and they bring great energy. I love what I do.’ I see from them.”
