Practice observations: Alfonzo Dennard shines, Aaron Dobson breaks through

Really hearing everything we’d hope to hear so far after two practices. Rookie receivers are in the mix and flashing.

Brady really zeroed in on Aaron Dobson, and the two connected on at least four really nice passes, including one rep when Dobson sat between the safeties and another when he snagged a tough pass over Aqib Talib on the right sideline.

Alfonzo Dennard was back with the starting defense and had a terrific day. He intercepted a jump-ball pass down the right sideline from Ryan Mallett to Josh Boyce. It was the type of pass that would draw a pass interference penalty. Dennard also broke up a Brady pass for Dobson on the left sideline.
