If safety Kurt Coleman isn't the first guy on the field before a practice, he's at least one of the first. Coleman likes to spend a few minutes catching passes from the JUGS machine before beginning the rest of his day.

After he had dropped what should have been an interception of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Coleman said he'd be on the machine before Sunday's practice, a vow he kept after arriving first.

It wasn't long before Coleman was joined by the secondary for a rare pre-practice session with the entire unit and coaches Steve Wilks and Curtis Fuller. The whole group then worked for about 10 more minutes after practice.

"What's the most precious thing in life? Time. You never have enough of it," Wilks said. "We're just always trying to hone our craft and working on the fine details of the game."
