From the media tent: CB Christian Gonzalez seems tired of answering questions about his contract status … and shares some frustration on the overall situation while highlighting the theme of focusing on Week 1. Parts of the Q&A: Question: How frustrating is it on your part that no contract extension has been reached? Christian Gonzalez: “It’s frustrating, but I’m focused on the season. I’m focused on here now.” Question: Are you still optimistic things could get done? Gonzalez: “I’m focused on Week 1 at this point. I mean, it’s been all offseason …” Question: Are you prepared to play Week 1 if a deal isn’t reached? Gonzalez: “I’m focused on today, this practice, and we’ll see where we go.”

Snapshot of something Mike Vrabel expressed frustration with this morning: He sees Hunter Henry (bottom of screen) trying to communicate with the official 15 yards away/do the right thing alignment-wise … and still get penalized. “I’ll have to try to get some clarification on that — how we are going to do this going forward,” Vrabel says. Earlier today, in his radio interview, Vrabel shared that he was irked with over-officiating at the line of scrimmage. “If our guys are going to look over; I get that we have to be legal. But for as long as I can remember in this league, the refs are going to try to officiate proactively and work with the players. “If it’s a hold, call a hold. If it’s defensive pass interference, call defensive pass interference. But at the line of scrimmage, if players are going to try to get the formation correct … we’re not going to tell them that they are either on the line of scrimmage or they have them off? They’re just going to sit there and tap their knee? “I don’t know what that is. That’s frustrating that we are that literal as an officiating department — if that is indeed what they are telling them. … “I didn’t know when we were going to start officiating the line of scrimmage and not communicate with our players. Because in the end, the relationship the players have with officials, I think can be really positive and they can explain the mechanics they’re looking for.”
