For anyone who has attended practice this week:

What time do you have to get there to get a good seat? I sure as hell don't want to get there at 4:00 AM if I don't have to. Any info would be great!

I got there about 730 on Sat and the bleachers were full, standing room only. But if you stand between the 2 main fields you have a really good view of both.

That's where I was planning on going anyways. I stood there 2 years ago and loved it.

Yes, that is the best place to be because you can see drills on both fields. The players sometimes high five the fans as they are running from one field to the other.

Yes. Today especially because reporters asked him about Posey because of flashy play.

Sometimes the questions to Kubiak are about a specific player. Sometimes the questions are open ended an allow Kubiak to name players that stood out to him. I'm sure Posey would have come up today whether reporters brought him up today or not. Really nice catch in the team session.

But please note, just because Kubiak talks about a player doesn't mean he is pointing that guy in particular out as opposed to other guys at the same position. A lot of times he's just being asked about a particular guy.

First year I went out I sat in the bleachers. There was plenty of room. Came late and found a spot pretty easily.

Last year i almost felt like it was a real game day.

I know it's packed this year for sure. Anyways I say that because I was basically forced into the middle part and I loved every second of it.

By far the best place to be if you really want to see what's going on.

He doesn't usually hold back though if he thinks a specific player did not have a good day of practice.

Kubiak hasn't been as negative as he was when things first got started. I think he was trying to set the tone.

I dont think he'll be doing too much of that from here till the end of the season though. Now is the time to bring it together.

[NastyNate]

See y'all out there! If you see a very tall muscular tatted up white guy with a dark haired six year old sitting his shoulders that's me

*sigh*

Texans left tackle Duane Brown left practice this morning after getting ice on his left ankle.

John McClain‏@McClain_on_NFL

Duane Brown's left ankle was getting iced. He was carted to Reliant Stadium for x rays.

[b0ng]

Mercilus looked good. Posey was decent as well as Martin. Didn't notice much about the new Oline guys but Newton was fine playing 1st RT. Will have more thoughts later.

THATS what I love to see! Mannings leadership has gone really un-noticed.

It was hot as hell out there! It doesn't help that everyone is packed in like sardines, trying to get the best view. I saw you Texans Chick, but you were talking to a few people and I wasn't going to interrupt. I saw Gary & his mom too. I'm sure I could have seen more than that, but I wouldn't know what anyone looks like, lol. It's not like our avatars are our pictures. My daughter was getting pretty roasted, so we didn't stick around for the rest of the field goals.

Which is the reason I'm only going to one this season, which was Monday. I've gone to almost all the open practices up until this season. Last year I told myself I wasn't going to go as much. It's just too crowded these days (goes with winning, I reckon). Heck, I chose Monday to go, thinking it'd be less crowded. Pffft! So much for that idea.

They've gotten too big for their practice area

Rookie K Randy Bullock just went 9-of-11 on FGs from 44-54 yds. Misses came from 44 (wide R) & 47 (wide L) #Texans

WR Lestar Jean is practicing w/ 2nd-team offense today.

CB Brice McCain is having a great camp. Working as starter w/ Kareem Jackson out. Breaking up passes left & right

P.D. Starr ‏@PHABMK6
Plenty of talk about Jerrell Jackson and their should be. #Texans

I have been talking about TJ since day one of camp. He had a great offseason and it shows on the field. #Texans

Grimes TD run, keep your eye on him #Texans fans. Grimes is better than advertised. Runs well in between the tackles.

Smith giving Cushing some business from the FB position.

Keshawn running with 1st team opposite Walter.

Stephanie Stradley ‏@StephStradley
Pro wrestling kind of take down. Louder hits today RT @PHABMK6: Braman with a nice hit on Tate. Caught Him in the air. #Texans

@BigRon281:
Brandon Brooks with some 1st-team action at RG. Arian riight off his butt for a TD from the 5.

Interesting about Jerrell Jackson. He is all legs/arms. Proportionally his legs are ridiculously long.

Loudest hit of today? Kasey Studdard laying someone out in the second level. Didn't see who it was but it lead to some profanity.

Bullock kicked today. No Shayne Graham. Wondering if they get to him tomorrow.

No more end of practice in the bubble. Once again, a lot of wide receivers working after camp. Posey last off the field. He was working extra with Manning. Manning said partly it was because he saw a route on the field in the red zone he wasn't expecting, so he was working with Posey to help himself too.

DBs were ahead of the WRs today. Too many balls hit guys in the hands not being caught. I am not concerned right now. It's a little up down now, but were also seeing a lot of backups at QB/WR. Did like seeing Keshawn Martin running slot. Very distinctive running style.
