On the bright side, James supposedly played great today. Seems that there are encouraging signs with him.
I was at practice.
I didn't come away thinking he played great.
I came away thinking it was great to see him out there playing.
The only "full contact" scrimmage part of practice was maybe the last 15 or 20 minutes before field goal kicking and sprints.
Nick played some, was very vocal, was moving around pretty well and seemed to be having a good time.
But to say he (or anyone else) played great would be an overstatement.
As controlled as it was and with limited contact it would to hard to judge.
As an aside, Nick Fitzgerald looked much better than I would have expected for first day out.
