Cowboys training camp practice #10 (AM)

[Clove]

Outstanding recap, thanx.
A few things I gathered from this practice.

* Ware is going to terrorize this year.
* The oline bothers me thus far
* Bledsoe needs a ton of reps with his starters.
* Our second string Linebacking core could start on a few teams, that's how good it sounds like our linebacking core is
* If Watkins becomes the starter, Roy will get plenty injured this year
* Ratliff is coming out of a shell
* Top 5 defense this year, I may change that by preseasons end though.

Ware is going to terrorize this year

.

Only if he overpowers guys or rips them to the inside. He still relies too much on outside speed rushes. You can't get away with that forever.

For defenders, they just have to go to the ball. For the offense, the receiver has to run the right route, the QB has to throw the ball to where the receiver is going to be and the offensive line has to open up lanes for the QB to throw in.

There's a big difference between closing on the ball and throwing a ball through a window to a spot on the field that might have a defender already in the vicinity in hopes that your receiver read the defense right and is running the correct route, meanwhile feeling the passrush; not to mention Parcells hovering over you ready to rip you a new one.

[View Full Quote]Just wait until the real game when if jump a pass and miss, the receiver goes for 6 and you are playing from behind the rest of the game.

Great job on this. Add to that the fact that we may just have the best defense in the NFL. Never know.

Our OL will determine how good we are this yr. Problem is that from the practices, our OL isn't very good.
