Day 2 brought some humidity and heat and plenty of special teams in the early parts of practice. But the treat for the media was three early 1 on 1 reps in the redzone for the receivers and defensive backs.

Brandon Johnson beat B. Buchanan for a score
George beat Osborne for a score on a fade
Byrd beat D.J. Henderson on an inside route

That prompted a little ribbing to the DB's about the receivers having the key to the lock down chain.

In special teams work, Robert Gillespie wanted a drill done a certainly and got to the point that Gillespie jumped in and ran the "scout" team reps for the drill to ensure they were giving his guys the best look.

Preston Williams again showed out early going and getting some deep throws and the timing of the passing game seems to be a bit better. I did see more overthrows than normal and that's not a bad thing when it comes to the deep throws.

On the defensive side, early on it appeared to be some maintenance work for Shy Tuttle. There's no question that they are going to be cautious and not over do it with him as he continues his rehab.

Of the young receivers, Callaway had a really good day yesterday catching the ball according to some. He has terrific hands.
