Free looks like a man who worked hard off season on his quickness, Parnell looked like a man who worked hard at sampling fast food.

Anyone notice Crawford walking around? He looked like his achilles could use another year off.

On offense the OL, Murray, Dez and TE's look great. Romo looks OK. Weeden seems fine if he needs to play a game or two.
On the the DL looks small. LB and DB's look OK. We need bigger bodies on the DL. Hopefully Brent, Okoye and Spencer can suit up soon.

It's good to see that Free appears to be in bette shape; although, quickness has never been a problem for him. His issue has always been a lack of upper body strength.

Parnell does not look like the aggressive player that I was a fan of in 2012.

I'm hoping Z that with him trimming down that maybe he worked on his strength in the offseason. I would really like to see him build on last year. I don't think all hope is lost with Free, and I think he can be a good piece on a strong line. I think if he does improve again we don't have to worry about spending another high pick next year on the line. Fingers crossed I am very curious how it will play out

I thought the sky was the limit for Parnell also, wonder if he had some little nagging injury we didn't hear about.

He was injured last year and we haven't really seen him since. I noticed he was not really getting down in his stance; however, the biggest issue was a lack of aggressiveness. When he played in real games he was borderline over aggressive. He needs to get his aggressiveness back in the upcoming preseason game.

It has always been frustrating that he has not been better considering his athleticism and size. I do wonder if he has issues with his shoulders that can't really get better by working out. I have known people with loose or weak shoulders that didn't necessarily need surgery but just wouldn't get stronger naturally.

He was "good enough" last season. I'm not really in favor of moving Martin to OT next year, but it might happen anyway.

That could be, we will have to wait and see. I just don't want to spend another high pick on the line when we will need help on the dline and maybe safety and depending on Romo health maybe his future replacement, and of course Murray is going to be FA. It would be nice if he just took hold and just played solid. He doesn't have to be great just decent.

If Free plays the same as last season, then they could re-sign him. I don't think he will get any big offers. Free's status as "good enough" is better than some spots on defense.
