Willis McGahee got some extra reps in Henry's absence but he also wasn't there today as he had an excused absence from the coaching staff. He was at the workouts Monday through Wednesday. Sam Adams also missed Thursday's workout.

OTA Gives Time To Details: The organized team activity is a time to emphasize one offensive situation each practice. This gives the players extra work in each situation. That is something that can't happen at trainign camp when the pace is much more hectic. Drew Bledsoe says that has given the players a better grasp of the offensive than this time this year. The first week of the workouts was also a time to re-install the offense for the third time for the veterans and the second time for the rookies, this should help with the consistency Bledsoe says.
