Saturday's practice productive

Highlights from an eventful Saturday practice in full pads included breakout performances by first-year defensive linemen Delvin Johnson and Vinny Curry. Johnson, a 300-pound tackle already known as a weight-room standout, parlayed that work to the field, overpowering offensive line teammates. Curry, a speedy end at 255 pounds, totaled a pair of sacks before an enthused crowd of approximately 500 fans. For those in attendance and those reading/hearing about Saturday’s action, what were your impressions of the afternoon session?
