1.It was the first practice action of the season for Darren McFadden, and he appeared to come through it well. McFadden wasn't as noticeable carrying the ball, but he was during the blitz period of practice in an across the pocket pickup that allowed Tony Romo to hit Lucky Whitehead on an "In" cut for a nice gain. McFadden saw what was happening in front of him and was able to adjust in a very tight situation inside.
2.It was good to see that Zack Martin had two quality reps in his work during the one-on-one pass rush drill. It was no easy match when Martin had to face Nick Fairley, then later Aaron Donald. Martin is one of the best when it comes to playing with straight power at the line or adjusting on the move to maintainposition. Against Fairley he overset on him initially, but he was able to adjust back to secure. On Donald, he went straight power and jumped him before he had a chance to get going. It was a perfect pass set with the proper knee bend.
3.Tremendous effort and finish by Morris Claiborne during blitz period to register a sack off a slot blitz. On the play, Rod Marinelli went with the fire-zone by bringing Claiborne off the edge and replacing him in coverage with Randy Gregory -- who dropped on the play. Claiborne timed his rush perfectly, which caught the Rams by surprise. Claiborne not only beat Greg Robinson, but Tre' Mason as well. It was a perfect call for the situation and executed well by both Gregory and Claiborne.
4.Corey White continues to be in the right place when it comes to making plays. During the blitz period, White was put in coverage on Steadman Bailey. The Rams’ way of attacking pressure was trying to work the ball inside. Bailey attempted to carry his route that way and White's positioning was outstanding. He was slightly upfield, but in a position that if he needed to drive, he was ready to go. When the ball came out high to Bailey, all White had to do was snatch it out of the air and turn the turnover into six points.
