1. Last year at this time, running back Musa Smith was looking good in practice. He had good vision and burst. There was talk about him possibly getting more and more playing time behind starter Jamal Lewis. But so far in training camp, has hasn't been real impressive. He's dropped a lot of passes coming out of the backfield, and I'm starting to wonder if that neck injury last season has caused him to become hesitant. We'll see in the preseason games.

2. To be honest, I haven't watched him very closely because he has always been automatic. But every time I do watch Matt Stover, he is missing field goal attempts. Stover has a "get out of jail free" card because he has bailed the Ravens out of so many situations. But like Smith, I'd like to see him succeed in the preseason.

3. This was a scary sight today: Tight end Todd Heap blocked Ray Lewis five yards down the field on a running play. Of course, he did have an angle but that's not supposed to happen, not five yards anyway.

4. Let's all give receiver Clarence Moore a standing ovation. He is back on the practice field and had a nice, long reception from Kyle Boller. Moore even stretched out diving to pull the ball in on his fingertips. Even more surprising then the catch itself, Moore didn't get hurt.

5. Keep an eye on rookie quarterback Troy Smith. He keeps getting better and better. He had a nice touch pass over the middle in the morning session, one of the few times he has shown some touch.
