[b]Did you notice?[/b] Running Brandon Jackson reverted to his early training camp ways when he had trouble catching the ball out of the backfield. He bobbled a swing pass that probably would have been knocked out of his hands had it been a live drill and on the very next play flat-out dropped a similar pass. Coston, a third-year offensive lineman, worked at every offensive line position but center during Tuesday's practice. Linebacker Tim Goodwell stripped the ball from receiver David Clowney in a ball-security drill. Clowney was the only player to fumble during the brief period. After a quiet start to camp, receiver Greg Jennings had his second straight productive practice. On Tuesday, he caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre with Patrick Dendy covering him.
