As usual, the day started out with the players coming out of the locker room, one by one. Marcell Dareus got the biggest cheer of the night. The players came out did their stretching and went right to work on the individual drills. They did this for about 10 minutes or so and then worked on special teams, specifically punt returns while using the jugs machine. The main punt returners were Roscoe Parrish, CJ Spiller and Leodis McKelvin. Parrish wowed the crowd with a nice 20-yard return, showing his speed going down the field.

Good to hear that Chandler is getting involved in the passing game. So he looked good?

Yeah, he looked pretty good. Especially when this was his first practice.

97Rock, on their morning sports recap, made it sound like Thigpen was lighting everything up.

I thought he had a pretty good practice, especially for his first one.

I'm telling you. There will be a qb controversy by week 8

I completely agree. I was telling Dannyek71 that Thigpen will probably start several games and it won't be due to injury.
