DEL.ICIO.USReversal of fortunes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Speedy defensive back DeAngelo Hall is spreading the wealth of his talents this morning. No sooner had this blogger posted the first entry of the day and returned to the practice field then Hall had switched into his normal defensive team jersey and begun locking down receivers in drills.
Another cornerback, Jason Webster, is far from as visible. Webster’s returned after missing several days of work with a strained foot. Apparently coaches won’t be rushing him back into the starting rotation: the highly drafted rookie, Jimmy Williams, is running with the first team and the quarterbacks aren’t often throwing in his direction.
Coaches are taking long hard looks at who’ll be the main backup to “the” backup at QB. While Matt Schaub _ the designated starter until Mike Vick returns from his hamstring injury _ was lobbing passes to the running backs on one side of the field, D.J. Shockley and Bryan Randall were working the longer routes with receivers.
Things looked good for Shockley until he had to start throwing against defenders. Randall got to run the second team offense. Shockley, working with the third string, went 1 for 4 passing with one throw batted down at the line and another intercepted by Brunswick native Bill Alford.

Longer blogs please. Maybe a bit about the offense, defense, special teams, coaches and a tiny bit about media present.

Longer blogs? You realize the guy is posting every 20 minutes, right?
