Bright Lights
TE Eugene Bright, who is trying to make the transition from defensive end, has taken a page from a Hollywood script to improve his game over the last few days. After going through a practice in which he had a couple of dropped passes, Bright remembered the movie "The Program" and decided he would try to improve his game on the field while being off the field. "I figured I needed to do something besides try to catch before and after practice," said Bright. "So I went to the equipment guys and got a football. Everywhere I go, I'm tossing it to myself, guys are tossing it to me. You do that and you probably catch 250 extra passes a day and it's actually helped me out a lot."

Birdseed
LB Omar Gaither's vocal nature on the field stems from his days in elementary school. "I used to get in trouble all the time in school for talking. I would finish my work very quickly and get good grades, but then I would spend the rest of my time in class talking."
