Impressed at what I saw from Walt Harris today. For someone his age, Harris looks strong and still has some speed left in him. During change of direction drills, Harris was one of the quickest at making the 180 degree body turn.
Safety Tom Zbikowski is looking as good as ever during practice today. His athleticism is up there with some of the best on this team and is really starting to look like a full time starter out there. Zbi was extremely vocal today during drills where he was encouraging the younger guys to make plays.
Above, Terrell Suggs works on pass rushing drills with the rest of the OLB. Suggs had a great practice today where I counted 3-4 times where Suggs caused a sack or early throw in 11 on 11 drills. He lined up all over the place and during one play beat Gaither on the edge and would have had a clean shot on Flacco if he was able to hit the QB. Suggs is looking in great shape out there and you can tell he really worked on his conditioning this offseason.
There seemed to be quite a bit of singing going on today between the OLB. Many times throughout the early parts of practice you could hear Antwan Barnes singing with Suggs and JJ chiming in on their own. A few dance offs as well from Suggs.
A year ago, Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs tipped the scales at 283 pounds.
It was too heavy and the three-time Pro Bowl defender had a career-worst season with four sacks.
Now, he's 20 pounds lighter.
Terrell Suggs has been cutting out junk food, including fried chicken and an old bad habit of eating entire boxes of cookies in one sitting and chowing down on a large pizza.
Suggs changed his diet with the help of team nutritionist Sue James.
"It wasn't just Popeye's, it was also Kentucky Fried Chicken," Suggs said. "It was also the cookies. You know, I did like the cookies. It was kind of a reward. When I started getting the weight down and I reached a certain goal it was like, 'OK, you can have a cookie.' She did a good job helping me, especially down the stretch."
Suggs is noticeably quicker and leaner this year, playing at roughly 263 pounds. Last year, he dealt with a heel injury and sprained his knee during the season on an illegal block from quarterback Brady Quinn.
Signed to a six-year, $62.5 million contract last year, he would like even lose a few more pounds to get back his NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year form.
