Grier is a guy that shouldn't be claimed on cut downs and could slide right on to the practice squad.

Some thoughts from the second #Cowboys minicamp practice:

- Another day, another Kaiir Elam PBU. It should’ve been an interception but he couldn’t bring it in.

- Solid day from Dak Prescott. In an end of half situation where the offense had 1:15 left on the clock trailing by 8, Prescott completed 6 of his 8 passing attempts with the drive capped off by a touchdown pass to Jake Ferguson in the seam with coverage draped over him. Also converted the 2 point conversion on a rollout pass to Miles Sanders.

- Micah Parsons participated in some individual drills, but wasn’t a part of the team periods.

- There’s still heavy rotation at corner. DaRon Bland, Israel Mukuamu, and Kaiir Elam all took reps on the outside with Bland, Kemon Hall and Juanyeh Thomas taking reps in the slot during first team activities.

- The Joe Milton experience was back today, with a couple errant throws and taking some time to decide on a target, but some ropes to with one on the move to Ryan Flournoy and another to Mingo in the corner of the endzone for a touchdown.

- Donovan Ezeiruaku is starting to stand out more. His bend is on full display and he’s getting to the backfield.

- Speaking of getting to the backfield, Marist Liufau got to the quarterback a few teams in 11 on 11.

#Cowboys Minicamp Practice #2 Notes:

- Offense was a step ahead again today (no physicality or pass rush really hurts DBs)

- Fun day from Jake Ferguson. Multiple grabs including a few TDs in redzone work

- Efficient and accurate day from Dak. By my charts, he went 9-11 with 3 TDs in team drills. Then orchestrated a 2-minute drill where he went 6-8 for 70 yards and TD in less than 1:15

- Lamb was the most active WR in all aspects today

- Saw some pressure from Fowler, Liufau on a few plays

- Another PBU from Elam. Feels like a once-per-practice guarantee at this point

The potential upside of Elam, Revel and yes, even Carson is why I’m not nearly as worried about corner as DT. Couple dudes names Bland and Diggs still exist for now as well.

Who are the warm bodies that could even potentially step up at DT? Two seventh round picks.

DLineman make corners better players, not the opposite, but don’t go telling that to the 83 year old in the blue suit and ball cap.

I asked George Pickens what stands out most to him, thus far, in a Brian Schottenheimer offense that features a lot of speed as well — one the Cowboys head coach also wants to operate using "multiple" variations:

"A lot of motions. A lot of things that you get an indicator on what the defense is doing before you say hike. Some coaches don't do that."

 

[Mr_437]

How about the later round guys from last year's draft stepping up: Joe, BS-F, and Flournoy.

Ppl wanted Byron Jones ran out of town because he didn't get turnovers, now Elam is getting his hands on passes but not catching them, how y'all feel about that?

Our QB room is loaded. We are set at that position for 30 more years.

Fixed that for ya.


No charge!

It's when the WHOLE team get in front of another team is when there are problems...namely the playoffs. Not just Dak. Guy has one of the best QBR in the playoffs history. It's not just him...it's the team...smh

As QB, leader, and money man....part of his job is too not screw up as bad as the rest of the team. Also...to inspire them not to screw up so bad.

Who else do you think should do that...the punter? smh.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I didn't get to watch him play but fans sure thought he was bad. NOt saying that means anything but they had nothing good to say about him at all. I always thought a new scenery and new comp may be best for him.

Maybe he was a bad fit for their defense ...........he played for three different defensive coordinators. His best season was his rookie year under Leslie Frazier, who later resigned. McDermott was his own DC the following year before hiring the current guy. But I don't know why they gave up on him so fast.

I hate them so much for getting me excited again smh…

 

[phildadon86]

If Elam can play to that level, and Diggs returns (as he says) and can be at starters level....now we're cooking with fire!

Won’t matter if they can’t stop the run.

Which they have done nothing to address.

Well, Dak is doing good. It's when that red jersey comes off, the deer comes out of the forest.

Two years ago he was runner up for mvp. This is getting old
