They did play “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough.”

But it was followed by pure shit (aka The Black Eyed Peas).

First, I like 80’s music, just not sure we needed it right in our faces.

I didn’t focus on any one player, but I did make a point of searching out a few to watch them for a couple plays. I did latch onto Dorin Dickerson for a few plays. I was impressed with how fluid and natural he was, as well as his size and ability. Jacoby, had to watch him and he plays with an energy and desire that stands out. Andre, you couldn’t help but watch him. It seemed like Andre was open, the QB would loft the pass out and then he would be more open as he cruised under the ball…I was in awe! The TEs as a group caught some tough balls and none of them gave anything but their best effort.

Yes, with the light shoulder pads, no helmets and shorts, the practice was low impact. What might have appeared to be defensive penetration at times, was probably not exactly how it would be in a game, so you can’t judge the lineman on what was going on there as a result. While the QBs weren’t under pressure to release the ball as a result of that pressure, you could visibly see the coaches reacting when the QB (Orlovsky mostly) didn’t get it off. I was pleased to how Booty flowed with the plays. He seemed to know where he wanted to go with his passes. Schaub was sterling.

I wanted to witness Earl Mitchell trimming the grass with his teeth as he rushed the passer. Didn’t see that because of the light pads; there was just gentle hand-fighting.

Another impression, Frank Okam is a big guy. What is he, 360? If he lightened up to 340, he would still be big and maybe be quicker. Would like to see him succeed because that would mean he’s taking up a lot of space and perhaps a couple blockers.

One guy who seems to want to make this team who seems to be forgotten at times is Chris Henry. Every time he received the ball, he motored, trying to make an impression, I guess. He looks like he has an attitude, too. If he makes the team, I wouldn’t be upset to see him get some time on the field to see what he can do. I didn’t see enough of Ben Tate to say that I am impressed. Have to remember that no one was getting tackled. It was all one-hand touch out there.

All in all, it was a great time out. Hot. In fact just as the organized part of the practice started, a frail older lady a couple rows in front of me nearly passed out and had to receive medical attention. She recovered and was okay.

Thanks to EveryHoustonTeamRox! for sharing his tickets! I owe you a beer at the BRBapalooza….
