Broaddus OTA takes

[Risen Star]

• One player that I continue to notice during these practices, but who is not getting much acclaim, is Vince Mayle at wide receiver. I have yet to see him allow the ball to hit the ground when the quarterbacks have put it in his direction. He has made receptions one-handed and extending with two. Without the ball, he has found ways to get open and separate in his routes. His experience around the team last season is clearly paying off for him now.
• 
  
• I have seen Jack Crawford, Ryan Russell and Charles Tapper line up on both the left and right sides at defensive end. Randy Gregory and Benson Mayowa have only lined up on the right side. This staff likely believes that Gregory and Mayowa lack the power to handle that left side when it comes to the running game. David Irving has returned to practice after missing last week and he has been receiving work on the left side only. There is a side of me that believes that Irving could be the starter on that side during the suspension of DeMarcus Lawrence.
• Chaz Green, who is in a battle for the swing offensive tackle spot, took snaps at left and right tackle and at guard as well. Where Green looked his best was on the left side as opposed to the right. His footwork and timing was better, and he just appeared more comfortable. This is his job to take over Charles Brown, who has had his share of struggles.

Step it up Chaz.

Glad to her Mayle is looking good, I like the player.

I'm a big Mayle fan too. Could be the best blocking WR on the team, and he provides some of the things that Dez brings to table in his power and RAC ability. Glad to see he's been working on catching ball with his hands.

why is this dude Vince Mayle going under the radar? wasn't he a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist?

guess you never seen Dez block

Dez is a great blocker and Williams is underrated. But Mayle could be better than both. It's not like I'm saying something so ridiculous, Dwayne Harris at 5'10 was the best blocking WR on the Cowboys during his tenure, and that includes Dez.

noway. Dez is on par with Irvin and Owens as a blocker. This kid isnt even in Dez league, in any aspect

Dez was not a better blocker than Harris when Harris was here in Dallas

Interesting to see the return of Mitchell. Liked his attitude. Hopefully he is less handsy and channels his competitive nature better.

If Dez was asked to block as much, he would have been.

hard to say if gregory looks bigger. I think his neck does...

Claiborne kind of looks bigger?

completely forgot about him. I remember researching him last year and he has alot of potential.

Claiborne is definitely bigger, he was like 160 around this time last year

I hope Mayle is better than Butler has shown.

Harris 3 plays a game? I cant believe this is even a topic.

It would be fair to say that, based on a comment from DeMarco Murray in 2014, Harris' blocking efforts served as motivation for Dez to improve on his blocking skills.
Dez has always been a willing and able blocker.

I kind of like him, too. We've got a lot of backup S candidates suddenly.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Hmmm Darius Jackson takes a screen pass to the endzone untouched. .......let's do this in a real game now

I cant believe you dont remember how many times Dez watched Harris take his snaps on obvious run downs. Dez was pretty upset about it but Murray said that Harris was a better blocker
