As for what I saw today on the field from players...

I focused on very few guys, based off what I was personally interested in, and also what was on the field closest to my vantage point. In the morning practice, it was a lot of the front 7, and in the evening, more QB/WR/RB stuff. I'm no Nick "Assclown" Athan, but here's what I saw.

Tank Tyler- Absolutely a beast. Quick off the snap, keeping his gap, and creating a new line of scrimmage. I really liked what I saw from him, and would say he was the top defensive player, or at least top 2.

Brandon Flowers- Also in contention for best defensive player today. It's harder for DBs to flash and impress me, just based ont he nature of their position. But thinking back of standout plays by DBs, and he was involved in both of them. On a fade, he covered Bowe as if they were conjoined, and grabbed an INT this evening.

Jovan Belcher- I'm impressed with his ability. He's quick, tough, and absolutely killed Macintosh in a pass rushing drill. Who knows if he'll even make the team, but his effort is unimpeachable.

Dwayne Bowe- Something is wrong with him. He is dropping more passes than Sammy Parker with a blindfold and vaseline on his fingers. I'm not sure where his head is at...but it is getting ugly.

Mike Vrabel- Doesn't look old at all. Quick.

Colin Brown- I watched him because I want him to be good, and because he's a Mizzou guy. He's a practice squad player. He's so damn tall, he comes off every snap way too high. He needs to learn leverage.

Brandon Albert- Looks REALLY good. Like he's been there for years. Even spends time with Brown during nearly every down time trying to tutor him.

The "injured" guys- Are working harder than anyone in full pads. I'd think they'd want to either get healthy quick, or pass the damn conditioning test than keep doing what they are doing.

Larry Johnson- Looks in shape, still tip-toeing and not following his blockers. This drives me nuts.

Bernard Pollard- Wearing the "TO-style" black tights with no shorts. Why? This is a family place, put the mouse back in the house!

Alex Magee- Looks good, for a rookie. I'm not putting him in the Pro Bowl, yet, but I'm just saying he's getting after it, has good movement in the pass rush, and seems to "get it." But he's got a ways to go.

Guy in his 50s with long ponytail- While it's slightly humorous to see you "sprint" after a Len Dawson who was literally jogging to get away from you, it's downright creepy when he has to jump into a van to escape you, 10 minutes after he signed your autograph. He's not your buddy. He doesn't want to discuss the good ole days with you.

Guy wearing the Chiefs hoodie with no sleeves- Just because they make clothing, doesn't mean you have to wear it... It's not a good look.
