OK I took some photos again today. I used a different camera - a JVC GZ-HM650 Everio with a 40x zoom. My hardest problem was holding the camera steady as it is very light..

My general observations were much like what ~Buck said in the thread about today's practice..

I agree that the defense was nasty. Whitney Mercilus made a few good plays and Bryan Braman is looking very good playing OLB. I didn't think any of the quarterbacks did very well, but a lot of that can be attributed to the pressure (even though they didn't actually sack the QBs).

Pics after the jump.

It started with a moving National Anthem:

The two great off season pickups last year:

Brooks Reed fixing something for Connor Barwin.

John Beck sensing some of that pressure:

I am pretty sure this is the play Duane Brown was injured on. Thank goodness it is only a bone bruise.

Randy Bullock had nice height on his field goals, even the 50 yarders.

James Casey with a reception:

Even though the defense was playing well, this TD by Arian Foster looked pretty easy.

Here is Sherrick McManis breaking up a pass (almost an int) intended for Kevin Walter.

Johnathan Joseph breaking up a pass intended for Posey.

Look how much penetration Mercilus got on this play:

You can see all the photos I took today at my photobucket album for 2012 Training Camp Day 5.

It was a good practice. Arian Foster was awesome.
