ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES

Cornerback Samari Rolle, the only player standing between running back Mike Anderson and the goal line, got plowed over, something that didn't go unnoticed by his teammates. "Do you need some help out there?" receiver Derrick Mason yelled to Rolle.

ROLE REVERSAL

Earlier in practice, Rolle read an out route correctly and was in perfect position to intercept quarterback Steve McNair's pass. But receiver Mark Clayton showed he could be an emergency defensive back when he raced to the sideline to break up the interception.

UP THE GUT

Running back Willis McGahee showed off his power during red-zone drills. Going against the second-team defense, McGahee ran the ball four times in between the tackles and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run.

QUOTABLE
