Practice report (9-28-09): Sam or Landry
The big discussion following Monday’s practice was on Sam Bradford’s recovering shoulder and whether he’ll be able to play at Miami.
Bob Stoops was thrilled:
“You’re going to ask me every day. And I’m not going to tell you. Until I have a feel.”
What I was able to piece together was this: Bradford threw several passes, way more and way longer than he has, but is still not all the way back.
Whether he can by the end of the week without his shoulder falling off will determine his status for Miami. I think those inside the Sooner camp are hopeful. But at this point, no one knows for sure.
Other news, notes:
* Freshman guard Tyler Evans came into the interview room wearing shorts and boots. Had the Cowboy at the Beach look going.
* Ryan Broyles learned his lesson about discussing injured Heisman QBs with the media. Didn’t say a word about Sam today. Other anything else, for that matter. Didn’t even watch Miami-Va. Tech.
* I have no idea what his grades are, but OG Brian Simmons has me thinking he might be the brightest guy on the team. Sharp, funny, polite, knows what he’s talking about. Appreciates college football’s history outside Oklahoma, which is refreshing. I really enjoyed interviewing him today for a story I’m working on for Thursday.
* OL coach James Patton said he’s looking forward to seeing how his unit reacts to a hostile environment. I think this group will play well Sat. and is eager to prove BYU was a fluke. Then again, I said the line would play well against BYU.
* The team had the entire weekend off, including Sunday night. Bradford obviously flew to Alabama. But most of the other guys hung around and watched football.

RE;Brian Simmons
Met this young man as he was a friend of one of my friends. (Guess they are not speaking now). Extremely polite and made sure my grandson was acknowledged and listened to. I was very impressed and miss his funny comments. Brian–miss ya!!!
VT gave Miami a good ole fashion a** whoopin with defense, the part of
a team that wins championships. I know that contradicts what Stoops and
the Sooners think, offense only fills the stadiums. Put a big time defense
on the field and they will forget about Sam. Shutting out Tulsa is not
big time defense, shutting out Miami, Texas, and anybody on the road in
the Big 12 is.
