Today was the sixteenth practice of the 2013 Cowboys camp, and you would think that things would follow a certain routine by now. Well, some things did and some things did not.

A familiar sight welcomed the early arrivals at camp today. Kyle Orton was out and about, throwing balls long before anybody else made it onto the field. He was later joined by Nick Stephens, and soon after most of the remaining players trundled onto the field. But unlike previous practices, there was no specific blue period for the rookies and down-roster players. Instead, players loosely mingled as they waited for practice to start.

The only exception were the offensive linemen. Three linemen, Frederick, Costa and Arkin were practicing snaps with Bill Callahan (Does this give Arkin a leg up as the swing G/C?), while the remaining linemen were off to the side with Franck Pollack. There the linemen were working on pulling; little red cones were placed on the grass and at the snap the players had to take a step back and circumnavigate the cones, as they would a fellow linemate, and explode upfield.

Pulling drills have been a staple of the afternoon practices over the last couple of days, so that's something you may want to look for in the game on Saturday.
