Before I post the report I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Grizz for the remarkable job you have done in bringing me, and hundreds of other Dallas Cowboys fans along with you for the ride out to training camp. Your reports have often been the most anticipated parts of my day for the 2 weeks you've been at it. You've done one hell of a job my friend and it's most sincerely appreciated. Now on to the report...


Thursday Aug. 10th (2-4 PM practice)

Courtesy of Grizz from bloggingtheboys.com

All good things must come to an end, and sadly, my time in Oxnard is over. This will be my last training camp practice report as the Cowboys only have a walk-through tomorrow before leaving for Seattle and I will be boarding a plane to go back home. I hope you've enjoyed reading these reports as much as I have enjoyed watching the Cowboys practice and reporting back to you what I've seen. I tried to write these reports the way that I would want to read about Cowboys' practices and hopefully you found them informative.

If you're reading this report on a Cowboys message board instead of on my blog, please consider visiting Blogging The Boys as part of your daily swing through Cowboys informational sites. We post news and opinion here daily, and would love to be part of your Cowboys bookmarked sites. Yes, I do write more than just transcripts of practices, so come by for a visit.

OK, enough of that stuff, you guys want to know about practice so here is today's report. After watching 17 straight practices, I could write the script for how a Cowboys' practice will progress, what drills they run when, what personnel packages, etc. But Parcells changed it up some today, throwing in some scout team work instead of 1st team vs. 1st team, 2nd vs. 2nd. So the report will read a little different today.

There were some interesting personnel changes today. Marc Colombo was back at 1st team RT, Petitti 2nd and Fabini 3rd. Sam Hurd continues to get time on the 1st team, with Crayton rotating in on occasion. Another switch was that Scott Shanle ran with the 1st team most of the day instead of Ayodele, who worked with the 3rd team. My guess is Parcells might showcase him in the preseason games in hopes of making a trade, because the numbers at ILB are working against him for making the roster. Abram Elam replaced Willie Pile on the 2nd string at SS for most of the day. Also, Drew Henson was a ghost for most of the day, more on that later.

They started with FG formation and kickoff formation drills with Sam Hurd working on the 2nd team kickoff unit, probably Parcells seeing if the kid can produce on special teams. They also ran the offense and defense formation drills before sprinting, stretching and running position drills.

They opened with an 11-on-11 using a nickel formation and with the offense in a hurry-up. Bledsoe hit Crayton on an out, then Rector caught one over the middle, followed by Crayton catching a TD in the corner of the endzone.

Romo hit Skyler Green over the middle, JJ caught a short pass, Romo threw just a bit high for Copper and ended with a dump to JJ. Henson came on and tried to hit Rector in the flats but Quincy Butler picked it off and would have scored a TD. After that, Henson only ran three more plays all of practice. I'm not kidding. Matt Baker immediately took over and threw short to Curtis, ran a draw to Kincade and hit Curtis on an out.

Next, they ran some kickoff coverage drills with Copper and Thompson the first set of return men followed by Rector and Green. Suisahm was hitting the endzone pretty consistently with his kicks. Thompson bobbled and dropped one catch in the endzone.

They moved on to 11-on-11 using all running plays with Bledsoe and Romo rotating every two plays. JJ had a good run off left tackle, then had a shorter run to the right side. The next time on the right side he got stuffed, then had a good hole on the left side with McQ getting a good block. Barber was able to get around the left corner with some good blocking, then had a huge hole on the right side behind Petitti, Peterman and Al Johnson. On the next play he got a big hole on the left side, then Romo threw a quick pass to Crayton for the only pass on the series. Thompson tried the middle for a small gain and then ran a sweep to the left side for a big gain. Finally, Parcells let Henson back on the field for a Thompson run up the middle for no gain and then Kincade ran to the right with Procter and Burnett having a big collision in the hole.

Then they ran a scout team offense against the 1st, 2nd then 3rd team defense in an 11-on-11 drill. Matt Baker ran the scout team offense that included all kinds of players from 1st stringers to 3rd stringers. It was all runs and Demtrius Summers was the main back and without going through every play, they couldn't run against the 1st team defense and struggled with the 2nd team but made some plays on the 3rd team. Also, Summers put the ball on the ground on one play.

They switched it around with the 1st team offense running against a collection of defensive players from different units, but Parcells rotated Bledose and Romo every two plays in this drill, too. They also looked to be running ¾ speed rush so there were no sacks. In fact, they did that on a lot of these drills today so you will notice the absence of defensive linemen making plays. Bledose hit Hurd in front of Henry and Fasano beat Shanle in the flats. JJ ran through a huge hole on the right side behind Rivera and Gurode with Witten leading the way like a fullback. Romo then hit Witten on a bootleg play. Bledsoe hit Copper who made a great diving catch on an out pattern. Bledsoe then rolled-out and hit Copper on the other sideline.

Continuing with the same drill, Romo hit Copper deep over the middle then Thompson ran to the right side for a small gain. Bledsoe hit Tolver deep, Tolver was wide-open on a busted coverage that might have been Willie Pile's fault. Thomspon had an OK run to the left, then Romo under-threw Ryan who was deep. They ran the exact same play again and Romo hit Ryan this time. Baker came in and got one play to hand off to Kincade who had good blocking on the left side.

After that Baker ran a scout team again against the various defensive units but I couldn't see most of it because of the players blocking our view. They ran some more punt formation drills with McBriar just booming his kicks deep causing Newman and Skyler to back up almost every time. It was impressive.

Bledsoe started a 7-on-7 drill and rotated again with Romo every two plays. Bledsoe dumped one to JJ then hit Fasano short. Romo hit Terry Glenn on an out where Glenn did a toe-tap to stay in bounds. He tried to hit Copper on a post but Newman broke it up. Bledsoe threw a dump-off to Summers and hit Hannam on a crossing pattern. Romo hit Polite for 15 yards, Polite had beaten Shanle and then Green and Romo had a miscommunication for an incomplete. Bledsoe hit Hurd for around 7 yards then hit Copper on a short pass. Romo finished the drill by connecting with Skyler for 15 yards over the middle then Quincy Butler got another pick on a pass intended for Copper.

They moved on to 11-on-11 with Bledsoe and Romo in rotation. Bledsoe hit Glenn in front of Newman then hit Hurd in the same spot in front of Newman. Romo hit Hurd on a quick slant and found Crayton deep over the middle. Bledsoe overthrew Copper then hit Copper on a slant. Romo threw in the dirt to Crayton then hit Thompson in the flats. Bledsoe came back with a quick slant to Tolver and connected with Tolver on a crossing pattern. Romo concluded the drill by throwing to Rector for 10 yards then Tolver couldn't haul in an off-target pass on a post pattern.

They went back to 7-on-7 with Baker running a scout team but once again the drill was obscured by players standing in the way. I did manage to catch a few highlights; Greg Ellis got an interception by jumping high for the ball which set the defense off into howls of celebration, Singleton had a good break up of a pass and Hurd manage to get a few passes caught during the drill.

They continued by running the same scout team offense with Baker at the helm but this time in 11-on-11. Some of the highlights were Elam breaking up a pass, and Quincy Butler got another pick-off. By my count that was three for the day, I guess sometimes the ball just comes your way.

To finish practice they ran three Hail Mary plays. On the first one they lined Marcus Coleman up as a receiver, and then Henson finally got back on the field to throw the last one that ended practice. I don't think any of the three were successful.

That was it, and that's all for me at Oxnard. It's been a blast and once I get home I'll be writing more articles, just not from training camp.

Kudos to Grizz and the Forwarders of his reports for a job very well done. As others have mentioned it's been something to look foward too, often twice a day. Great reads. Thx for the effort!

Have you noticed that many "reporters" are now starting to pull up there socks and write more pertinent info now that many posters on this forum and others are working three times as hard and are 3 times as interesting (and possibly accurate) than these paid chumps. All of a sudden they are doing more play by plays as well, pointing out guy doing well or making mistakes. I love it!!

Wow. There's some websites that make you pay for much less quality info than this! Thanks for the reports, they were all incredible.

Sounds like Bledsoe will start the game but Romo will play most of the rest of the game. I'm not expecting Henson to play much if at all this game. Sounds like Romo is getting his shot...and I think/hope he's going to take advantage as he seems ready for it.

It seems to The Answer that Ayodele has been a big disappointment so far, might not be cut out for the 3-4 after all....On the other hand Shanle is a beast and has elevated his game to another level this summer....only a few weeks into camp and he's running with the 1st team, and with a good showing on saturday he might not leave the starting lineup. All of this trade/showcasing is smoke and mirrors because this savvy 4 year pro will be starting on opening day...mark it down!

Also looks like Hensons days as a Cowboy are numbered....

I really thought Henson had a good chance this season becoming our #2 qb for the Cowboys. I followed every game that he was in for NFLE and thought he did an above average job. We've always known that he possessed the physical skills to be a top-rated quarterback at the NFL level, his problems were mostly mental to go along with his lack of live action game experience. So my thought process was that NFLE was going to take care of these problems and Henson would enter camp with the confidence that would catapult him to #2. But when Matt Mosley started writing how Henson would never get a real opportunity to compete until Parcells retired, I thought he was crazy...until I started tracking his progress closely in TC. Now, I'm convinced that Henson isn't going to get that chance - and perhaps that's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe it would be best for him to get released from this team and try to latch on with another franchise. Maybe with the right coaches in place, those that believe in his abilities, can turn him into a franchise quarterback.

I really liked this kid and wanted desperately for him to be our future. Sadly, it just doesn't seem to be in the cards.

PS: Grizz, I, too, want to thank you for a job well done. Your notes from camp were so detailed that I no longer waited for the Mosley report to come out on his blog with the news of the day.

I did manage to catch a few highlights; Greg Ellis got an interception by jumping high for the ball which set the defense off into howls of celebration, Singleton had a good break up of a pass and Hurd manage to get a few passes caught during the drill.

With everything that was Greg Ellis this offseason, it seems that the fans and the media were the only ones who may have been rubbed the wrong way by it. It was in no way a distraction to the team, in fact it sounds like the defense is rooting for him. This just makes me more confident with TO on our team.

Henson's days as a cowboy are numbered, and his NFL career may have ran it's course as well.....The Answer tried telling everybody this weeks ago but the sheep that congregate on this forum refused to listen.

The Answer has been studying the quarterback position in its purest form for years now as a hardcore fan and Henson simply doesn't have it. What exactly is 'it'...well it's a collective trait that is inherent in the all time greats like Marino, Aikman, Bledsoe, etc......Don't get me wrong, Henson has raw talent, but the biggest mistake he made was publicly announcing that football wasn't his true passion and opting to play baseball instead right out of college....a move that will likely haunt him the rest of his life as he ponders what could have been.

If Romo doesn't step to the plate in these upcoming preseason games....look for the front office to sign Kerry Collins as a last minute insurance policy...kinda surprised this veteran is still out there on the market to tell you the truth.

Im not going to come out and agree with everything you said, but I think what the coaching staff did today said enough. It will be interesting to see how many snaps Henson sees on Saturday.

~The Answer

It amazes me how we can draw conclusion off of the simplest things and make them into full length movies.


Parcells said just the other day that Ayodele was doing very well. That he would be a good fit for us. Also said that he wanted to see a lot of the young guys this week. Said he would play them good minutes to try and find out what he had. The fact that Shanle got a chance to work with the first team may just mean he's trying to make decisions. I don't think it means he's going to start. I think it means we are heavy at the position and BP wants to see what Shanle has with talent around him.

Same deal with Henson. Parcells said in his press conference, just yesterday I believe, that he would likely play two QBs this week and probably two next. Said that he wanted to get good time in with them rather then giving each a quarter. That could very well be what's going on. There is no reason to cut Henson at this point. He is suprior to any 3rd string QB out there. Why would you do this if you don't have somebody better to bring in? Nobody has cut any decent QBs that I am aware of so until that happens, I don't see the turk lurking behind Henson's locker at this point. I could certainly be wrong but BP told us what he was going to do prior to doing it. Now that it happens, we are busy putting our own conclusions together.

I don't think either move means anything at this point.

Grizz, You have watched 18 practices and reported great detail which is much appreciated. There has been much discussion on this board as to whether T Romo has a strong arm or a weak arm. After watching for so long, what is your opinion on this matter?

Can he make all the throws or not?

Romo has enough arm to play in the NFL. In my observation, there wasn't a throw out on the practice field he couldn't make. I'm not going to put his arm strength in the category of say, Bledsoe, but I'm not worried about his arm.

We have already paid attention to to you. See for yourself. Credit to BigDFan5 for the research.

Here is the analysis that studying QB in its "purest form" produces. Enjoy.

Ouch.

I've read...from your reports :bow: ...that ROmo has been doing alot of intermediate routes, and is looking good, but how is he on the deep stuff? I haven't read too many reports about him hitting WRs on the 15-20-25 yard stuff

He makes the throws long sometimes, but he's not always on target. When I say long, I mean more than 20 yds, he's pretty accurate under 20 yds. Then again, all three QB's have been missing long in camp regularly. Romo seems very concious of getting the ball out quick, of the 3 he almost always beats the 2.5 second buzzer, sometimes with plenty of time to spare. Thus, you see him throw short and intermediate a lot. I can say with a lot of certainty that he makes the quickest decisions of the 3 in camp.

Grizz I want to thank you for filling us in on practices better than anyone ever has on these boards, past or present.

Something that would be really great is a evaluation of players you saw in camp. Kind of a review of the player after two weeks and your personal feelings on them. I know that would be a ton of work but IMO it would be a great way to fill a blog out.

Expect that over the weekend. I already posted a 1 week review last weekend on my blog.

it's always the same people running in here when someone makes a negative remark about Henson, the SAME people with their stupid agenda, you know who they areNot only that but look how fast he changes gears to Baker and how he avoids owning up to his past analyses like a man.

That is what is meant by agenda right there. When you are so staunch about something that you'll grasp at every straw and when it produces nothing you move on like you never shot your mouth off.
