Grigsbys running with the 1's. Making some good catches.

Fun as always. I think the secondary has some work to do, but who can tell without d line pressure in the equation. Quin is pretty yoked up for a db, buster Davis looks like a stubby stick of dynamite, barwin seemed like a loner and wasn't really hangin with the team much.

That's to be expected of a person with hearing loss in their life. I can completely relate to this. Don't misunderstand it to mean anything negative though. It's just tougher to keep up with group conversations so we generally just go in and focus on ourselves. He's only thinking about getting to the QB. Nothing else. Believe me. It's a positive thing.

Are they in full pads?

Who is doing the blitzing??

Also... did Cushing make it to Houston in time for camp?

They had on some like mini-pads(not to be confused with Dunta's maxi-pads) and shorts. Guys were certainly flying around though.

Cushing wasn't there. I mean it wouldn't be hard to find him, he's taller than everyone else and is our only caucasian LB.

I saw Barber blitz a couple of times and some LB stunting. It also looked like when the o-line got beaten so badly it was because of some slant action by the d-line... HOPEFULLY...

On the contrary, he is in shape, albeit round and lumpy, but he is in shape.

Thanks for the insight, that really does make perfect sense. He seemed a little more stout at the poa than I thought he would be, but he was going up against Washburn.

Definitely... I'm not a advocate of keeping Clark Harris though if Casey or Zgonina could long snap.

I hope Mario does what he did to Steve more often and runs more back to the house. The TE's are a lock pretty much. Mario played even better when they did the 11 on 11 than he did one on one against Brown.

I agree with what you said about us showing aggression early. I think you're making some sense here. I can buy it.

Ugh. I hate Debbie Downers though. Lol.
