    "David Paulson catch over middle"

    "Marquis Maze nice diving catch on sideline from Byron."

    Early in the spring Ben mentioned that Haley is all about using the no huddle, passing down field etc. Which is one of the reasons I think our offense will look far more like the 2008 Cardinals than the 2010 Chiefs(schematically).

    Re: Steelers Training Camp Day 6 7/31

    I would imagine it's probably a little of both, mixed with some colorful reporting. I have no doubt he made a great block on Timmons, but I'm having trouble imagining any guard "lighting up" a linebacker, especially on a toss sweep. It was probably just a great block with a good initial pop.

    That said, we have a rookie on one side and a first timer on the other side, and I still expect to have one of the best pairs of guards in the whole league this year. By 2013 I think they'll be far and away the best tandem out there.

    A few I missed from a half hour ago~

    "Butler is dreadfully inconsistent with his punts."

    "Sly getting a lot of work in place of Woodley."

    "Like what I'm seeing from Spence today."

    "Hood blows into the backfield."

    "They have Heyward standing up. Carter speed rush is good."

    "Heyward and Carter with good pressure two on a row to end the day."

    "TE Heath Miller (ankle) returned to practice only on a limited basis."

    "As it turns out, CB Keenan Lewis' sprained shoulder isn't serious (he was hurt Sunday). He practiced today"
