Those are some great pics of the Rookies. Julius Jones looks happy to be a Cowboy.

Patrick Crayton just looks like a football player doesn't he? Thanks Qcard.

If I remember well, this exercise is to make sure the CB place his body in a good line to tackle and not depend on his speed and arms/hands.

This is just a small part of what makes up great coaching. Something Campo knew nothing about.

Interesting. Never seen it before.

Putting a broomstick behind the back (I've never seen it done with the bristles still on the broom!) is a coaching technique that allows the player to see the alignment of his shoulders. I'm not sure what that particular drill is that Jones it doing, but it definitely appears that he's trying to get his shoulders pointed straight at the ground. Perhaps it's some type of drill for blitzing or rushing a punter or kicker, where he has to dip his inside shoulder to get around the blocker.

Peterman and Rogers both need to bulk up. I'm sure they will be lean and mean in a year or two. Also, BP does look like he has slimmed down! Good for him. I think this is why he likes being around the game. Keeps him near a gym.

I think you've nailed it.
