This talks about Mike's drilling technique/details from last year's training camp:

There's a huge article Maiocco wrote during mid-2009 (which I cannot locate at this time) which included a biography/interview with Johnson.
-In that Article Johnson explained how Smith literally had zero mechanics/technique (of any extent) from the first week/month Mike started working with Alex, and how Alex is coming along better than his previous 'game-tape' showed us. (And Mike mentioned as every other person has that Alex's mechanics improve/light up when he has thorough confidence within what he's doing.)
