SAN ANTONIO -- The young offensive linemen had one of their better days here early in camp for the Cowboys.

Since Jason Garrett put the pads on the players on Saturday, Sam Young (http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4681185/scouts-eye-day-4-good-signs-from-young-o-line?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#comments), Tyron Smith (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=13978) and David Arkin (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=14119) have been much more productive than when the team was just working in shells. In the 9-on-7 drill, which is all running and an advantage for the defense, this group was able to get push at the point of attack, allowing the backs to make simple reads attacking holes and creases.

On the first play of the series, Young was left one-on-one with weak side linebacker DeMarcus Ware (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8426), who we all know as one of the better run defenders because of his ability to fire his hands inside, control the blocker and shed to make the play. On this play Young was able to fire off on the snap, engage Ware, keep his pad level down and not allow Ware to shed the block until Felix Jones (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11256) was able to get the ball outside the edge and into space for a nice gain.

no way these guys will work out because we can't draft because we have the worst owner/president in the league and Romo wears his cap backwards and the Eagles signed all our FAs

Been a while since hearing Young offensive line referring to the Cowboys.

Been a while since hearing Young offensive line referring to the Cowboys.
Sure is nice compared to some of the things we have heard in the past. :)

I encouraged hearing the play of the youngsters on the OL. It's imperative to our future that they develop. We need Tyron, Arkin, and Sam Young to be able to play for us at a high level for the next decade.

[dezb88]

this is very good news

[newlander]

this is very good news


...yeah, one play that Young actually did something in TRAINING CAMP sure is a good sign...my gosh you guys sound desperate sometimes. Smith will be a keeper..the other two? Who knows....:rolleyes:

[w8lifter]

It may only be 'one good play', but one good play leads to 2 and so on....

Positive thinking is what the team needs to build their confidence. :clap2:

[ThreeSportStar80]

It's about time Dallas develops their own players on the offensive line...

[Doomsday101]

Very encouraging to hear the young OL player showing progress. They just need keep working hard and learning as much as they can.

Is there a better way to learn and improve than playing everyday against Ware and Ratt?
