Tuesday Morning
Tuesday, November 8, 2005
- Monday's practice was quite spirited. There was an obvious bounce in the step of most of the players, as it should be after the bye week.
- It was great to see Marc Bulger, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt on the field again. While their replacements did a nice job while they were out, you can never fully replace that kind of talent. Considering the way the offense ran the ball while they were out, their return leaves some intriguing possibilities for a balanced offense that has the potential to be one of the best in the league.
- Bruce took part in team drills for the first time since his injury against Tennessee. He is probably the most questionable of the trio to play this week, but it's starting to look like he will be back. Nobody has been more upset about his not playing than Bruce. He wants to be out there and I wouldn't be surprised if when he does return, he has a big game or two in him before this season is over.
- Holt looks much better running around and he took part in almost every drill with the top offense and even ran some routes with the backups.
- Bulger didn't look much different throwing the ball than he did before the injury.
- There wasn't anyone welcomed back to Rams Park more enthusiastically than defensive end Leonard Little. Little was greeted by all of his teammates and looked like he hadn't missed a beat. In fact, Little looked as quick and explosive in pass rush drills as I have seen all season, including training camp.
- I'll have a new mailbag up today with answers to many of your questions. Keep 'em coming.
