Didn’t get to lock in too much on the young running backs – Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley – but from an eye-test perspective it looked like Vereen was in good condition and perhaps a bit bigger than he was in 2011.

Jeff Howe also mentioned that Vereen was getting reps with the fist team.

OTA #1 observations – Extra Points – Boston.com

Great recap of today from Greg Bedard, including a contrary opinion to what we posted earlier with Mike Reiss saying he thought Ras-I looked good.

None of the rookies just assumed a starting role. That’s no surprise at all. But Chandler Jones, Dont’a Hightower and Tavon Wilson appeared to not be far off from being in the mix. Not much jumped out about Jones that we didn’t already know. He’s learning his way around this defense. Same with Jake Bequette.

Nate Solder, predictably, looks like the starting left tackle, while Dan Connolly appears to have the edge over Dan Koppen at center. Robert Gallery was filling in for Mankins, and Ryan Wendell was in for Waters. Marcus Cannon was in for Vollmer. Now, maybe this doesn’t mean a whole lot because there were three key absences on the line, but it’s worth pointing out.
