Thumbs up: During a two-minute drill in full-team drills, Elvis Grbac connected with Travis Taylor on two neat receptions, the first an out pattern and the second to a seam in front of Rod Woodson.
Thumbs down: Grbac had to dump the ball on the next two plays, as Shannon Sharpe and then Qadry Ismail, his primary receivers, had defenders in their faces.
Trainer's room: Tony Siragusa underwent an arthroscopic procedure to clean debris from a knee and will miss seven to 10 days. Adrian Wilson (knee), another defensive tackle, was hurt in the morning workout. Defensive back Pete Destefano (ankle) did not practice.
Quotable: "It wasn't difficult, because we used to beat them to death." - former Florida State star Peter Boulware, on posing for a photo with Miami products Ray Lewis, Leon Searcy, Duane Starks and Kipp Vickers.
Today's schedule: Practice 8:45 a.m.-11 a.m.; 3 p.m.-4 p.m.
Countdown to season opener: 24 days.
