Veteran cornerback Ronde Barber was singled out by defensive coordinator Jim Bates for his performance over the first three days of training camp. The defense dominated much of the red zone work Monday and Barber deflected away a pass in the end zone from Byron Leftwich intended for Brian Clark.

"There are guys who have been spotty,'' Bates said. "Ronde has had a good camp. I mean, if you had to pick one, the seasoned pro has really been steady, he's really playing well. And there are several other guys that have played well, but Ronde in particular.''
