In what coach Lovie Smith called one of the better practices of training camp, the offense showed its considerable quick-strike capabilities Thursday night.First, Rex Grossman launched a ball 65 yards in the air that appeared to be well covered by cornerback Nate Vasher and free safety Mike Brown.
But Devin Hester, who was a step behind and bracketed by the defenders when the ball left Grossman's hand, caught up to them, accelerated past both and caught the ball in stride just before streaking across the goal line.
Moments later, Bernard Berrian got far enough behind strong safety Adam Archuleta that he was able to slow down and wait at the goal line for another Grossman bomb. After scoring, Berrian ran to the goalpost and dunked the ball over the crossbar as several thousand applauded.
“They love to see us throw the ball deep, and I like seeing the ball thrown deep,” Smith said. “On the other side, of course, defensively, we can't give up those type of big plays. But Bernard and Devin are going to score a lot of points as I see it this year. Both are definitely deep threats that can do a lot with the football.”

Now that's speed...I would like to see him do that in a game...I think though Rex will force the ball in the same manner in the real season and get picked off left and right...

Last season Rex started out phenomenal, and we all know about good Rex/bad Rex. Anyway, what I remember of the first games of last season were the bombs to Berrian, and no one was 10 or 20 yards near Berrian, then Berrian got hurt, then bad Rex showed up, Berrian got better, and came back, but he wasn't down the field, all by himself. I just don't think he has 100 percent when he came back. I think that's why they really are moving Hester to offense, in case Berrian gets hurt again, then Rex won't go into his deep funk again.

I have Berrian, Hester, and Grossman on my FFB team. Like 9, I've been going goo goo over these guys and I'm hoping to make some money on them as well!

As Knight pointed out though. The game against Houston even though Grossmans # looked good, he did force the ball a couple of times and got away with it.

Rex will do great Berrian and Hester will be pro bowlers

That's a tall order my friend...no doubt as a special teamer, Hester can make it...but Berrian has a lot of talent to climb over to get to the Pro Bowl, and I do not see Rex getting him there...besides, Benson has to show he can carry the load of the rushung attack.
