Don't some of you live around the corner from camp? It's these reports that keep me from killing someone on the pitch during game day.

Any interesting reports from other boards, perhaps?

I made the 120mile trek up to Lehigh this morning. It was my first time ever making it out. I didnt take notes but a few things did stand out to me.

I liked Avant before today but I like him even more now. He completely turned around every corner that he faced today in drills. He's not the fastest guy but he changes direction without telegraphing whats coming before hand better then any WR on the team.

Sean Jones- Seemed to always be around the football on D, had an excellent pick (Mcnabb) in the endzone to go along with a couple PD's. Was completely abusive defending the gunner on ST's... Im not even sure that a gunner made it down the field on him once without hitting the deck first. He stood out to me. Seemed very physical.

Jackson- The guy glides past DB's and makes it look easy doing it. He can flat out fly. He looked great today.

Maclin- Had a couple nice catches but... The body language is poor to me. Walks back to the huddle after plays doesen't seem interested in finishing plays strong. I noticed he was often on the sideline alone. I could be reading too much into it, and it may be nothing but thats what I saw. Maybe he's still getting into the swing of things, who knows.

I was hoping to see more of Ingram, but he didnt do much. Maybe they're taking it easy on that knee that had some swelling yesterday. He is a specimen though.

Mays brings the wood. Had a nice open field tackle on McCoy and generally seemed to be doing a good job.

Samuel- He didnt look especially impressive in one on one drills, but when they went to the 7-7's and such he was all over it. I guess he really does read n react well. He picked off Donnie once...

It was a pretty cool experience. Not sure I'll be doing that a whole bunch the 4AM wakeup sucks lol

well, if you lived here, you wouldn't have to get up until the sun was up. thanks for the report.

Pila, there's a pretty good practice blog on the main site. i've been reading it most everyday and agree with alot they say on the days i've been there. of course, there's alot of drills to focus in on and nobody can see everything, but these guys have media access that we don't to add to the experience. you can get your fix there.

Thanks, Pat and Quick.

Sounds like Desean is going to be eating cbs all season.

Bob Glauber of NY's Newsday, who I played soccer with many moons ago (terrible player, slower than mollasses, wears a 15-lbs knee brace made of space-shuttle composites that shred the legs of players that come in contact with it like a chariot in Ben-Hur) says Desean Jackson is a beast - catching everything and making fools of whoever lines up against him. And that Westbrook looks nothing liek a guy coming off surgery.

Things we already knew, but lest there be any doubt the things you are seeing are the product of bias, you eyes aren't lying, it seems, that even Gintz beat writer confirms it.
