THE OFFENSE

In 11-on-11 team drills, Jeremy Maclin made an outstanding catch, hauling in a pass thrown behind him, over the middle on a dig route. … Aaron Murray made three big-time throws Wednesday. The first came in seven-on-seven, when he threw a gorgeous, over-the-shoulder fade to Da’Ron Brown down the right sideline for a big gain. The last came in team drills, when he threw a picture-perfect deep post route to Brown over the middle for a touchdown. … Murray also connected with former Missouri receiver L’Damian Washington on a deep route down the left side. Washington laid out to haul it in. … Murray continues to look good on boot plays. He has a real feel for those. … In pass-rush one-on-ones, Zach Fulton flashed good effort finishing blocks. Tackle Donald Stephenson flashed some of that, too. … Center Mitch Morse showed good anchor strength against Charles Tuaau’s bull rush. ... Some depth chart news: With Albert Wilson out, Frankie Hammond got the first-team reps at receiver alongside Jeremy Maclin. … The starting offensive line for the fifth straight day looked like this, from left-to-right: Eric Fisher, Ben Grubbs, Mitch Morse, Zach Fulton, Jeff Allen.

THE DEFENSE

In seven-on-seven drills, safety Eric Berry made the play of practice when he hauled in a tipped pass and ran it back for a pick-six. The pass was intended for Jeremy Maclin. … Safety Tyvon Branch recorded an interception when he hauled in a tipped pass intended for Charcandrick West. … Defensive end David Irving had an outstanding pass rush against Tavon Rooks in one-on-one drills, flat backing him with a bull rush. … Some depth chart news: Defensive end Vaughn Martin caught Eric Fisher lunging and beat him badly inside with speed. … With Josh Mauga sitting out, fourth-round rookie linebacker Ramie Wilson started out with the first team at inside linebacker next to Derrick Johnson. Undrafted rookie Justin March rotated in next to Johnson, too.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles spoke Wednesday about the 2015 offensive line group in comparison to last season's blocking corps.
