Practice Practice Practice

After the morning practice, I only have a few observations to share.

DTs
Look out for Mitchell. He is showing everything he was billed to show. WOW is all I can say.

Sheppard also impressed my with his quickness. He is appearing like a steal.

Okam looks like he is on his way out.

If the guys play like I saw the sacks should be up from last season. The inside guys will be cause enough disruption that the outside should have a huge season.

OL
Studdard has shown even more growth, his anchor has gotten even better.

Brisiel surprised me at LG, he looked quicker than last season.

And I have to add this Myers is looking solid.

RB

Foster is showing a lot. He is looking very explosive in the first 5 yds. Nice.


As for the rookies that every one want to hears about, I was over on the 2nd field and did not get to see a lot of the CBs work, so not much to report.

And a last note, Holiday is like a bug, a super fast bug that you cannot squash.

I'll try to add my few observations, was walking between endzone of first and second fields. First watched DL drill, some TE/OL blocking drills, then WR on DB drills/QB's throwing, some DL on OL drills, then 11 on 11 play(pass and run). Seemed to rotate thru players quickly on each of these drills, more crisply than last year.

DT's -
Mitchell started out real strong, then Brisell and Studdard contained him.
Egboh - DE, rookie FA, 6'6" 287 looked good on several plays.

I agree, seemed to be fairly intense play for a first practice and some good push up the middle from several DT's. Stressing the speed moves today.

DB's - Seemed Quinn, Reeves, Molden did pretty good in coverage, but with no pass rush the WR did well getting open on majority of plays.

OL - as a group looked stronger and quicker, more confident, than last year.
Agree, Brisell and Studdard looked improved, as did Duane Brown. Winston seemed to be leading.

RB - Foster and Slayton looked good to me, and perhaps Henry. Tate maybe had first day jitters.

WR- we got a whole bunch competing well. AJ and JJ stood out to me.
Bobby Williams, FA rookie, 6'4" out of North Alabama had a few nice catches.

I'm not going back out there until Monday morning, hopefully Keith or one of the other guys will post more for us.

I was at Day two and concur with almost everything you said. Here is a writeup and some pictures we took today:

Good stuff, there. I bookmarked your website.

Say, I was clicking around and kept getting "ads by Google" right in the middle of pictures and text. I didn't see a way to get rid of it. Perhaps you could contact the webmaster (or whatever) and tell him about it?

Keep up the good work....

Thanks... I appreciate it.

We're working on cleaning up the format. It's coming along.

From Texans Bull Blog:

1. Chris “Catfish” White lived up to his nickname today. Five minutes into practice, he walked towards the fence on the north endzone, unzipped his pants, and relieved himself! I got a picture of it (well, not of it but of his backside) but Barrett was insistent that I should leave him alone… So, it’s quite blurry. I may post it later, anyway.

Ahh, misty-eyed memories of Kailee Wong many, many years ago.

Best of luck on the blog, btw.
