Early "takeaways" from perusing videos of first practice: (offense)

RB drill order was:
Harris
Brob
Ford
Sanders
KRob

I did not see Townsend with the RBs.

I feel much better about the TE after seeing them go through drills. The first 3 are big,solid bastards (Tennison, Latu, Amos) , and the 2 young guys look like smooth athletes with good hands. This doesn't include Forristal, obviously.

Our Second Team WR Unit is as good as most teams First Unit.
