In Hall's defense he had good distance on all his kicks. He pulled the first two left from about 47 yards. Frost kicked off a couple of times and had good distance ( 2 to 5 yards deep). Lonie, the other punter boomed several in warmups but shanked one during special teams drills.

I thought Brunell looked very sharp in 7 on 7. Campbell less so and in 11 on 11 Campbell looked about a C-. Brunell looks like the unquestioned starter, which we already knew anyway. Somebody observed that Collins always takes the checkdown and it was true today.

Lumsden is that diamond in the rough. Taylor Jacobs failed to get his feet down on one pass. I can't see him making the team. I would have liked to see Brandon Lloyd get some balls. Cooley looked sharp and seems to be Brunell's favorite target in this offense. Fauria looked good as well. At least in 7 on 7 with Brunell (he did not appear in 11 on 11) the offense did not disappoint.

Sean Taylor's hit drew oohs and ahhs.

There were several Dallas fans in attendance, which I find very odd.

I love the first come first serve seating as I was right in front of the owner's box at the 47 yard line. The only other time I've sat there was in the second half of the Spurrier Dallas debacle in the ice. Like everyone else I was impressed with the crowd. The entire lower bowl and club level were nearly filled.

All in all a great day.

P.S. The "score" was Skins 16 Ravens 14 but it's not the same because, for instance there was no PAT on Washington's (Marcus) int return. That and the fact that they didn't keep score.
