Toledo Instructs Players to Ease Up

Coach Bob Toledo had to call a brief halt in the morning practice Saturday to tell his charges to stop hitting so hard. The workout was in shorts, shoulder pads and helmets, and some of the defensive players were a little more aggressive than the coaches planned.

“I like that,” Toledo said. “It’s always better to tell them to slow down than to try to get them to go faster.”
