QB BATTLE Talk about symmetry. Kyle Orton won the coin flip to start first during the offseason program and Rex Grossman won the coin toss Wednesday morning to work with the first team during the opening practice of the summer. Neither quarterback looked particularly sharp, and there were some miscommunications which can be hung on the receivers just as easily. Nathan Vasher made an easy interception of Grossman in 7-on-7 drills, while Orton made a nice connection with rookie tight end Kellen Davis on a deep seam route. It wasn't anything offensive coordinator Ron Turner was overly concerned about. He expects the action to be crisper in a few days when the players are readjusted after a month off. Grossman made a couple nice connections with Mark Bradley, but the action will be better defined in full pads.
