SAN DIEGO -- As we pack our bags for the trip back to Dallas, we've got some random thoughts on what we've seen during Cowboys training camp in California.
Most impressive player (s): Dez Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13215/dez-bryant) and Brandon Carr (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11363/brandon-carr) have been equally fantastic. Carr has shut down receivers with his press coverage and playmaking skills. Despite his quiet demeanor, he's also provided a strong leadership quality. Bryant is well, Bryant. He makes leaping catches, catches in traffic and it seems the only man who can stop him is Carr.
Most disappointing player: Wide receiver Raymond Radway (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14727/raymond-radway) made the 53-man roster last year, but a fractured leg in the final preseason game cost him the season. Now healthy, Radway has shown flashes of that blazing speed. At other times, however, bad routes, drops and missed assignments have hurt him. He's been surpassed by Cole Beasley (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15349/cole-beasley) and Dwayne Harris (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14100/dwayne-harris) for the fifth and sixth receiver spots.
Five players to keep: Center David Arkin (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14119/david-arkin), linebacker Orie Lemon (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14343/orie-lemon), guard Ronald Leary (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15276/ronald-leary), defensive tackle Ben Bass (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15607/ben-bass) and cornerback Mario Butler (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14671/mario-butler).
