Notes
-- It was a mixed day for LG Ron Leary. He showed the power that makes him so attractive, as he threw a couple of defenders down on run reps. On the other hand, he looked sluggish on passing downs and was beaten by quickness, especially to his outside. He's facing a feisty bunch of backup tackles, who are much farther along than he is, so I'm awarding him an incomplete for the day.
-- "You don't #$%king stand up!" "That's bull-s*&#!" That was what an animated Rod Marinelli told backup DE Monte Taylor after the end bounced up in the final 2-on-2 drill. They're playing for keeps -- and for jobs -- here.
-- DTs Jerome Long and Nick Hayden continue to rotate with the 1st team D and had pulled even or beyond first team starter Sean Lissemore. Hayden has a nice rip move and can dis-engage. Long used a nasty spin move to beat opposing guards a few times in the final pass blocking drill.
In the meantime, Lissemore's reps with the 2nd unit are increasing. We'll keep watching these trends.
-- Bottom line. Whatever issues the O-linemen had during the drills, Romo's protection during the 11-on-11s was very good. He had time to cross the field on his reads on the goal-line passes. They're getting better as a unit.
-- Romo watch: We've been tracking his lack of zeal during the team stretches. He's still holding back and staying out of stretches which tax his lower back.
