There were about 20 minutes of 7-on-7s or 11-on-11s, so not a ton of real football. There was one fun rep where Flores put three safeties on the field (Cine, Bynum, Metellus) and flooded the line of scrimmage to threaten blitz. Very Zimmer-y.

Christian Darrisaw also made a remark that facing Ed Donatell's defense in practice didn't prepare them for games.
"Those [Flores] looks, we weren't seeing those last year, and we'd kind of get into games and teams would run a certain defense and we were negatively affected."
Lewis Cine:
"If we want to be a championship team, we've gotta practice like a championship team does. I like that mentality. Respectfully and humbly, I've won everywhere I've gone, so I don't really plan on stopping here."
