Practice (and Jerrell Jackson) Reports

- PowerMizzou: Final fall camp practice
* L'Damian Washington had a nice sideline grab under tight coverage by Kip Edwards. My guess for the starting receiving corps would be Washington, T.J. Moe and Wes Kemp.
*Tavon Bolden was getting a few reps as the first team safety in place of Kenji Jackson. Probably doesn't mean a whole lot, but Bolden has his name back in the race for serious playing time. - MUtigers.com Blog: Tigers Go Lighter Wednesday, Prep For Final Scrimmage
The Missouri Tiger football team finished preparations for its final fall scrimmage tomorrow morning with a Wednesday afternoon practice in shoulder pads and shorts on the Kadlec Athletic Fields in Columbia. The Tigers worked out for just over two hours with minimal contact in order to keep people fresh for the scrimmage, which Coach Gary Pinkel said would be much shorter than the previous two held this fall.
Coach Pinkel said that starters wouldn't see the field much on Thursday.
"We might play them (starters) six or eight plays, maybe 10 or 15 plays," he said. "What the format is, pretty much we'll have one full quarter like a normal game, then we'll make sure we get enough reps from each group and then we'll add plays at the end if we need to. We're going to cover a lot of our kicking game too," he said. - KC Star (Campus Corner): MU long snapper may play with shoulder injury
Missouri long-snapper Beau Brinkley has a sprained left shoulder but MU Coach Gary Pinkel said Wednesday the hope is for Brinkley to play in the season opening game against Illinois on Sept. 4 in St. Louis.
"Jared Perry (a wide receiver last season) had the same thing and played the entire season with it," Pinkel said. "Didn’t miss a game."
Brinkley took Wednesday’s practice off, his left arm in a sling. He won’t play in Thursday’s final full scrimmage of pre-season practices. And Brinkley, a junior from Kearney who was listed as the No. 3 tight end on Tuesday’s latest depth chart, likely won’t be running any more pass patterns this season.

All Jones desires, he said, heading into this afternoon’s final preseaon scrimmage, is to prove to the coaches and "to my teammates that I belong here."
"I’m going to be a reliable guy that’s going to catch the ball no matter where its thrown and what down it is," Jones said.

This has been making the rounds, but just in case you haven't seen it, the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective pursued an answer to the question, "Up three, time running out, do we foul?"

The old natatorium lot?
Really? That’s it? You’re going to give the students a lot that MIGHT be able to hold 100 people? Come on…
It's a pretty big lot.
Much bigger than 100 people.
Also: wah. :-)

My husband is convinced
that the “up by three, foul” rule is solid and that all coaches are stupid that don’t do it.
Can’t wait to see what he thinks of that link.
Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.

Well the study agrees with your husband as long as the team does not foul in the act of shooting the three.

Or get called . . .
. . . for an intentional foul, which would give them the ball again after the foul shots.
RE: Josh Selby
There’s a Mizzou side to this. I think Tony Mitchell, for all his difficulties, should just go to Europe for the year. Get paid, then get drafted. This whole back and forth of whether he’s coming or not is getting old.
Sptiz, if you read this, start hollering.

Not to rip on Tony Mitchell...
As the guy is a five star recruit. But if I do believe Brandon Jennings was the top player in the nation that year, as is Selby. The 15 to 20th player probably won’t command the kind of money or playing time in Europe.

Got a grade 3 tear now instead of a grade 2…..awesome
Your medical de-jargonator! Sprains and strains are classified by grades (sprains are of ligaments, strains are of muscle tissue or tendons). Grade 3, as noted to be the case with Beau, suggests a complete rupture of something. I asked him if he can say what is hurt, as “shoulder” can mean numerous muscles.
Regardless, could be a daunting prognosis for our beloved long-snapper. This could require surgery. Regardless, it certainly limits mobility of the area. Something required to huff a ball through your legs.
