There wasn't any real earth-shattering news out of yesterday's practices before the team got on the buses and headed over to Vero Beach. Although I read the official site's Training Camp Central story (linked at the top) and got a perverse kick out of the lengthy description of top-notch service, grounds crews, spacious meeting rooms, dry-erase boards, projection screens, and wi-fi available at the Vero Beach Sports Complex. So it's good to know Athletics isn't trying to cut every corner...

The official site link includes photo galleries and interviews with Holtz, Vernon Hargreaves, Mark Popek, and Rick Smith (from whom Tribune correspondent Michael Manganello put together a story about Kayvon Webster and the backup cornerbacks).
