After a full scrimmage (closed to the public) on Saturday, yesterday's practice was light with no pads to give the team a bit of a break, but it was back to full pads today as they took to the east practice field. It was a nice day for the secondary (and conversely not so good for some of the quarterbacks) with a lot of interceptions by the defense.
On to the tweets!

Huskies just wrapped up first practice of the day. Defense forces 5 turnovers. Three picks for Jake Browning in his worst day of camp.

UW offense installed a bunch of new stuff today, hence some of the turnovers. OC Jonathan Smith still not pleased with 5 turnovers.

Petersen on Jake Browning's three picks: "He'll bounce back. He's a mature guy. He gets it. He takes stuff very hard, very personal."

That kind of day for UW O-line: Lose Dexter Charles to injury/retirement; his replacement at LG, Jake Eldrenkamp, rolls ankle on last play.
— Adam Jude (@A_Jude) August 17, 2015
Some good news for O-line: True frosh Trey Adams worked extensively w/ No. 2 offense at LT. At 6-7, 302, he's going to be a good one someday
— Adam Jude (@A_Jude) August 17, 2015
Petersen on young O-linemen: "Really excited about the future with those guys."
— Adam Jude (@A_Jude) August 17, 2015
Lots of recent installation with the offense, Petersen said, so that might help explain some of the struggles.

Sad news today about the retirement of Dexter Charles. Really a good kid. Likely stays close to the team and remains a leader. Next man up

Interesting Chris Petersen said he regrets putting Tuesday's rest day on calendar because it may have had mental effect. But rest day needed
