AFA's Rembert works both sides

Air Force cornerback Reggie Rembert worked with the offense Friday during the Falcons' second preseason practice.
Air Force coach Troy Calhoun considers Rembert his most explosive player, so he wants to use the 5-foot-7, 175-pound sophomore on both sides of the ball.
Rembert spent several spring practices with the offense, and Calhoun said Rembert would practice with the offense every other day in the preseason until classes start Thursday.
Then Rembert will spend about 15-20 minutes each practice with the offense and the other 80 or so minutes with the defense.
On offense Rembert is lining up at Z receiver - the hybrid running back/receiver spot that Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year Chad Hall played much of last season.
Friday, Rembert's speed was apparent, and he showed his athleticism by reaching down to scoop an off-target option pitch. But he lined up in the wrong spot once and slipped once when running a pattern.
Rembert said he was "a little rusty" and that he has to improve his comprehension of the offense's signals.
Air Force runs a no-huddle offense, and coaches use hand signals to tell the players which plays to run.
"I pretty much know the plays," Rembert said. "It's just the signals for the plays kind of give me trouble, and you've got to know it real quick, since we run (the offense) at such a fast pace."
Calhoun said Rembert was "decent," considering it was his first day with the offense.
"You just still see where he's a little bit tentative sometimes," Calhoun said. "He's got to get to the point where he's completely certain about what he has to do on every play."
Etc.
Junior Eric Herbort and senior Shea Smith split all the plays at quarterback Friday as sophomore quarterback Ben Cochran was completing a summer program and did not practice at all.
