...Michigan defensive line coach Greg Mattison, a friend of Marinelli’s, was Charlton’s position coach all four years in college.

What did Marinelli learn about him?

“Tremendous person, high character, loves football,” Marinelli said. “That’s all of the things you’re looking for. And he’s got some talent. Now it’s about the grind.

“He’s really a good athlete, very good athlete, and then he’s got length. Really good length. He’s long and lean and he’s just going to get stronger and stronger.”

Marinelli said it’s too early to compare Charlton to a player he’s coached in the past, but he said the 6-6, 271-pounder has good balance and bend as a pass rusher that’s similar to David Irving, the Cowboys’ 6-7 defensive end/tackle...

Lewis: It’s a great transition knowing you have a familiar face coming from the same program. I’m pretty sure he’ll make my job a lot easier. I’m excited to play here with him...

Here's my 'dog'...

DT Joey Ivie, on wearing Bob Lilly’s number:

Ivie: Actually a lot of people have talked to me about it. My Dad told me, too. He said ‘You know that’s Bob Lilly’s number?’ That’s crazy. It’s an honor to even wear this number. He was such a great player and definitely a guy I would say I look up to. It’s cool to be able to wear this number.

He's just saying that, if he makes the team, they'll change that number for the regular season.

I received an autographed copy of Bob Lilly's book, "A Cowboys' Life."

He stayed much later than planned to make certain everyone got one.

Bob is as personable as anyone can be to a total stranger. Great guy.
