TIM AND MIKE: OTA Week 1 observations

Ragnow at guard: First-round pick Frank Ragnow played exclusively at left guard with the first-team offense during Thursday’s open OTA. Playing guard, Ragnow looks to fit right in with the vets. It's hard to evaluate o-linemen without pads, but Ragnow moves well. – Tim Twentyman

Standing out: LeGarrette Blount looks different than most of the running backs of the past and present, and there’s a reason for that. He is different physically. At 6 feet and a listed weight of 247 pounds, he is powerfully built. With his jersey sleeves bunched up, it almost looks like he is wearing shoulder pads.
