So the first day of practice is over, and lots of talk already over twitter. Some quotes below, feel free to join in with info, opinion, and everything else Steelers related.

Jim Wexell:

Injury report: Hampton, Dwyer "aggravated hamstrings."

 

Tomlin on Hood during impressive 1on1s: 'What a difference year makes!'

 

Adams, Pouncey impressive this afternoon.

 

Roethlisberger walked down the hill to practice amid cheers. Not a boo was heard.

Scott Hanson:

Ben just finished w fans. Probably signed for 20 min or so. Longest I’ve seen him go post-practice FWIW.

 

Ben took first snaps of team. First play: quick pass to Mendenhall... Jerome Harrison (corrected himself later to James) blew him up. Big OOOOhhh!! From crowd.

 

Gotta love Hines Ward... He put "WARD" in tape across his helmet, like he's a rookie free agent.

 

Ben just hung Hines out on a pass... Came right over and apologized. Hines laughed.

Ken Laird:

Larry Foote and Tank Summers notable hits on separate snaps... both drawing oohs and aahs
