Yes sir, and Quinn wants big DBs facing the QB instead of blindly chasing receivers in his zone scheme.
That's a pretty misleading still of the catch if it was this one
This is from DC - look at that catch
FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys wrapped up their final OTA practice on Thursday at The Star with a spirited workout that saw some of the new faces starting to find their groove as they fit in with the entire roster.
The Cowboys will head into next week's three-day minicamp, but here are some things that stood out from Thursday's OTA:
- Quarterback Dak Prescott looked sharp in some modified 7-on-7 and team drills, working against no defensive line. He threaded a nice ball to CeeDee Lamb over the middle and connected with rookie Simi Fehoko twice downfield.
- Catch of the day: Lamb's leaping grab over cornerback Anthony Brown from Prescott for about a 40-yard gain down the right sideline.
- Strong practice from linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. He had a terrific diving interception on Prescott near the sideline. He said it briefly knocked the wind out of him, but he returned to drills and later blew up a Tony Pollard run play for a would-be tackle for loss.
- Two more interceptions from the rookie draft class. Cornerback Nahshon Wright jumped a comeback route by rookie receiver Osirus Mitchell to pick off Garrett Gilbert. Linebacker Micah Parsons dropped in coverage and made a leaping interception against Ben DiNucci.
- Safety Donovan Wilson missed the majority of practice although he did come out of the locker room/weight room area towards the end of practice. During most of the first-team reps, the Cowboys lined up Damontae Kazee and Jayron Kearse as the starting safeties.
- Veteran linemen Tyron Smith, La'el Collins and Zack Martin also skipped the majority of individual drills. The trio came out together midway through practice and worked into drills during a team period but didn't participate in any physical blocking drills against the defense.
- Second-year center Tyler Biadasz got most of the first-team reps with the first-team offense. Last week, we saw rookie Matt Farniok get a majority of the reps. Biadasz, who started four games last year, got a heavier workload on Thursday.
- The Cowboys have several undrafted receivers that all have good size and stature, but one of the roster holdovers from last year made a few plays Thursday. First-year receiver Aaron Parker, who spent all of last year on the practice squad, found himself open a few times down the field and even made a nice catch in traffic over the middle.
Defense mechanism.
lamb saved an obvious interception saw the video...so yes great catch but dare i say underthrown poor placement of throw..who threw that?)
saw it
I heard Lamb say "stay down".
Look...you aren't allowed to have your own commentary on the play. Any original or opposing opinion is cause for disqualification.
Looks like they could have easily got feet tangled up and twisted.
I wonder the same thing.....whether people know it or not....when you win it feels much sweeter knowing you dealt with the bad.
I agree. Its also worth noting the league seems to be getting away from the big wide receivers.....aside from DK Metcalf....most of the big receivers in the league are in their 30's now.....Interesting they go to the approach of having big receivers.

Yeah I understand that. A lot of people would. But to me Melifonwu was a bigger name but i'm not sure if he was a better fit.
exactly a top cb IMHO say Diggs a ball hawk could adjust and possibly had pick..
Don’t tell that to Lamb
He gets the chance(privilege) to carry the flag. If he is lucky he will be mentioned along with 2 HOFers Pearson and Irvin and then Dez.
