Billy Napier Recaps Scrimmage No. 2, Montrell Johnson Jr. Update | Florida Gators Football

know the scrimmage went well um we were able to get a ton of work I think we played about 160 plays total uh counting offense defense in kicking game I thought the defense um was much better um less mental errors I think the Run fits were polished up and better I think that we did a good job playing red zone defense and we got some takeaways um and I think we cleaned up um the penalties on offense but we did have a few penalties on defense to work on I do think offensively we had a good day on third down um you know overall much cleaner you know I thought we were much more efficient we got out of there injuryf free for the most part we did have a few typical injuries but overall what we've talked about showed up I think now going forward the details really important the urgency is really important it's very evident that there's great comp comptition we definitely have more depth than we've ever had montre is doing fantastic right he's um he's been able to do a few things uh we expect him to be able to participate and practice um whether that's modified and at some point um full speed but um we'll give you an update obviously we're getting ready to turn the page into game week but we'll give you updates per the timeline up until the game but we have confidence that Montreal is doing great um and feel good about his return um I do think that the four other kids have had fantastic training camps and it is extremely competitive like I can tell you who's running out there next right now now I know Tryon web has game experience and I trust him he's by far the best protector he's tough he's durable um he's smart um but also I'm standing back there behind it um and I'm watching Jaden ball and jacobe KD and these F these two scrimmages and we we feel good about that room you know they're young they're inexperienced it's important for those players to understand that they have to play without the ball you know and when it's third down you know and and you're checking your way out and that corner comes from off the outside receiver to the boundary you've got to have good eye discipline and those are some of the lessons that we've learned the last couple weeks so those guys will be ready to go when it comes time did S have a pick SE I'm surprised that he didn't post that on social media was he excited I'm curious Not only was he excited but that entire defensive sideline was excited so was a great uh fundamental play by Jack pyrn you know it was a nearhand bat uh off the quarterback's hand and um It's actually an RPO that got tipped up into the air and then it was a Christmas Day for one Tyreek sa how long how long do you run it back was probably 70 yards I would say 70 yards don't tell anybody but Jaden ball hawked him down okay so but uh no he he scored he did
