Get low

Picture this: 6-foot-8 Maryland tight end Joey Haynos and 6-foot-2, 234-pound linebacker Chase Bullock in an 8 a.m. yoga class this summer - with more than a dozen of their burley teammates.

"I heard the instructor was pretty good looking," Ralph Friedgen said. "I'm sure that had something to do with it."

Apparently, it helped.

Friedgen noticed Haynos blocking lower yesterday, and praised him for it.

"Yoga Coach, yoga," Haynos said. 

"I think we had like 18 guys take it," Friedgen said. "It was at 8 o'clock in the morning. For them to get up at 8 o'clock in the morning and take a yoga class ... but a lot of kids thought it really helped them and they said they want to do it again next year. They said it wasn't easy. They said she killed them. But they really felt like it helped their flexibility, helped their balance, helped their core. We'll see how that works out."

Check back in a few for another practice update from last night. We got out of Ralph's office around 10 p.m.
