BITS AND PIECES
* Darnell Alford is filling in at right guard with the first unit
until Timmerman is cleared for contact. Timmerman had operations on both
shoulders and a foot in the offseason.
* Mike Martz wants Adam Archuleta, listed at 223 pounds, to trim
down to about 205 as he moves to free safety from strong safety.
* Converted wide receiver Mike Furrey, a valuable special-teams
contributor, looks comfortable at safety.
OVERHEARD
* "Everything on this football team - offense,
defense and special teams - all starts on the offensive
line. If we're good there, then it sets the tone in place for
everything else." - Martz.
* "I have friends at home that sometimes give them
to me, but when I see an article, it's usually by (a local writer).
So if I want to find out where we're going to finish, I'll just ask
you guys."
- Quarterback
Marc Bulger, on forecasts in preseason magazines.
