1. Keep an eye on rookie receiver Tim Benford. He had a strong rookie training camp and looked good on Monday, catching everything that came his way. Cole Beasley has gotten a lot of attention among the young guys and he should for his eye-opening play but Benford has been every bit as good if not better.
2. The Cowboys were high on undrafted rookie guard Ron Leary, touting him as a possible mid round draft pick if not for a degenerative knee condition. The issue with Leary is that his career could be cut short at some point, which killed his draft stock, but he is considered good to go as rookie. The Cowboys wasted little time getting him in the mix, alternating him and David Arkin with the first team in place of the injured Mackenzy Bernadeau.
3. Fullback Lawrence Vickers is going to bring much needed toughness and leadership to the Cowboys locker room. The sight of him cursing out TCU ex Ed Wesley for not finishing a play by not running down the field for a touchdown was new for the Cowboys. This team has a history of leaders trying to be friends and not wanting to make waves rather than giving their teammates a much needed kick in the behind.
