Spring Practice #1 Podcast
(Written by kencraw)
I attended Spring Practice on 4/9. (As a reminder to all, Spring Practice is closed to the public (except for the open practice on Saturday 4/12) and is only available to invited media/guests.) Here is my “On The Road Home” podcast for that event.
I made one notable error in the podcast: Boskovich is a offensive lineman, the starting left guard specifically, not a defensive end. That’s the penalty for doing these podcasts from memory in the car as opposed to from prepared text/notes at home.
Note that the podcast includes interview audio from Tedford and redshirt Freshman QB Brock Mansion. Here is a list of their quote topics:
- Tedford on Improvements on Defense
- Tedford on Longshore’s Injury
- Tedford on injuries (Mohommad, Vareen, Follett, DJ Holt)
- Tedford on TE Tad Smith
- Tedford on Brock Manson
- Mansion on taking snaps
- Mansion on difficult aspects
- Mansion on defensive pressure
- Mansion on easiest aspects
- Mansion on keeping sharp
- Mansion on 2008 playing time
- Mansion on sping practice changes
- Mansion on scout team
- Mansion on command of playbook
Have a listen:

I particularly like your comments regarding Cal fans’ expectations on who will be the starting QB come fall. More specifically, that just because Riley was taking 1st team snaps that it they shouldn’t let that create an expectation that he will be the starting QB. There is a lot of camp left in the year (fall included), and like you said, Longshore does appear to have a slight edge.

Oops, the two above comments were meant for the spring game podcast, not this one. Sorry.
