Johnny Patrick, is he okay?

“Yeah, he’s got cramps.”

What about Patrick Robinson?

“Tweaked his shoulder, they took him in for an evaluation.”

Earlier in practice Sedrick Ellis was with the two’s.

“That’s by design. We’re looking at everybody. Nobody has a scholarship here. We’re looking at a lot of people. There is going to be rotation in there. We want to get some equal reps in there in the evaluation process.”

Do they have to win their job?

“Ninety percent of the guys on this team have to win their job. And that is what we have done from day one since we’ve been here in ’06. There are no scholarships.”

On the d-line what do you think about this experiment with Martez Wilson?

“We kind of touched on that yesterday. I think pretty good because we’re going to drop our ends into coverage and he’s got some coverage ability from last year being with us in the linebacker room and being a linebacker in college. He understands coverage concepts, so far so good. He has embraced the opportunity and he’ll continue to get some more reps.”

What do you think about Junior Galette?

“I don’t know if I’ve been around a player that has come as far as Junior Galette in the last three years, physically, mentally and emotionally. He’s really become a stable and dependable player. We’re excited about where he is right now. I hope he continues to grow. I know where his intent is.”

What do you expect out of Devery Henderson?

“We expect out of him what he has given us every year. He is a great deep ball threat that can cross face safeties and can catch the ball outside the framework of his body. When the ball is up he wins most one on ones. He is probably the most legitimate deep ball threat we’ve had since we’ve been here. I thought Devery caught the long ball today well. I think he has had a great offseason so far.”
