IRVING, Texas – Day 2 of the Cowboys' organized team activities is today, but it is closed to the media. Here some observations from Day 1:

What did Tony Romo actually do on the field? He was coach-like, especially with the receivers, tight ends and running backs. He also worked with the younger quarterbacks on footwork on handoffs.

CB Morris Claiborne was busy in team drills. On the first play of team exercises, he was late to react to a stop route by WR Dez Bryant. The good news? On the next play he broke up a slant to Bryant.

QB Kyle Orton wasn’t as sharp as normal with the full reps. He was late and low to TE Jason Witten during team throws.

After making a number of nice plays in the rookie camp, WR Jared Green continued to perform Monday with three more catches in team and seven-on-seven drills.

Very interesting prospect.

Good genes.

1. Do QBs stop throwing for (maybe) four months and then slowly work back into shape?

2. I miss the reports where every single play was reported. At least in training camp some of our great posters will be reporting.

I miss those too. Some guys from here really gave those reports their all. Good stuff.

OTAs and minicamps have never been open to the public, so for these we're left with whatever the media produces.

But it's definitely better than nothing.

And I agree that the fan reports from training camp are gold. They're a great supplement to what the media reports.
