Things to look for today

With only one practice today here's some things we're looking out for.
1. Brad Johnson. He's looked pretty good the last two days, threw a nice deep ball in the morning practice on Wednesday. He seems to always make the right play.
2. DeMarcus Ware. Though it wasn't serious, Ware got dinged at the end of the morning practice. He seemed to be OK and was on the field during the special teams portion of practice on Wednesday.
3. Alan Ball. He sprained a ankle on Wednesday and in this tough competition for cornerbacks, let's see if he's on the field today.
4. Bobby Carpenter. He's played well the last two days and along with Kevin Burnett has been knocking down passes, showed good coverage skills and been right in the faces of running backs and tight ends.
5. Terrell Owens. Had a few drops on Wednesday and Adam Jones said he's got the lead in their one-on-one battle. I'm sure T.O. will be looking to even the score.
6. Marc Colombo. The Red Sox fan might be a little worried about the potential trade of Manny Ramirez, he went 0-3, with a walk on Wednesday. Colombo should be inspired to knock a few people down today.
7. Isaiah Stanback. Something has happened to Mr. Stanback. He's showing everybody he can play. He's running good routes catching passes, low and behind especially, and creating some distance between the other young receivers (Danny Amendola, Mike Jefferson and Mark Bradford).
8. No. 3 running back battle. It's an interesting watch. Tashard Choice is running fine and Alonzo Coleman is behind right now. Keon Lattimore has looked good bouncing off a few defenders in practice.
9. Mike Jenkins. It looks like the rookie is having so much fun out there. He's really improved the last few days in man coverage.
10. Anthony Spencer. Playing real smooth. Showing good speed at the point of attack and he looks faster than last season. He's getting a faster jump than last season when the ball is snapped.
