Highlight: Usually, it is the wide receivers who draw the biggest cheers during training camp practices. But it was the young defensive backs that shined in Saturday's practice, the first since the Thursday's preseason opener. Two of the day's best plays were made by safety Rahim Moore when he quickly closed on receiver Matt Willis and swatted the ball out of Willis' hands before the receiver could secure a pass from Peyton Manning. Later, cornerback Tony Carter leaped high to bat down a deep pass from Caleb Hanie.
Lowlight: In a drill designed to test the defense at the end of practice, Jack Del Rio didn't like what he saw from his starters. After a running play went right up the middle, Del Rio yelled at his players, and then sent in the entire second-string defense.
"He's very demanding, and if we don't play at that tempo and that level, then we'll get taken out," defensive end Jason Hunter said. "It's just attitude, and knowing that we've got to play hard."
