I hope Bulluck is here and playing well enough to get four or five more of those as well.

Lavelle Hawkins and Craig Stevens got their first work with the team yesterday because they were later finishing up their exams.  Hawkins apparently looked good in his first work putting a move on Michael Griffin to haul in a touchdown pass.
