Monday’s practice got us all one step closer to the return of football as we know it. Sure, it was the same Training Camp that’s been going on for a while now, but Monday felt a little more like the real thing because we got to see some contact.
I honestly didn’t anticipate seeing such a pronounced shift in the practice atmosphere between last week and Monday, but maybe I should have. After all, we’ve been hearing all about how excited these guys are to get back to the more physical aspects of the game, but it showed immediately.
