Camp Reflections: Staff Writers Pick Training Camp’s Top-10 Standouts

[dallasdave]

Coleman gonna be very difficult to cut.

Coleman is not getting cut.

 

[dallasdave]

Honorable Mention: Davon Coleman – The second-year defensive tackle had another strong camp, just like he did a year ago when he made the team and started the first game. While there were questions surrounding his ability to duplicate his performance, Coleman did that and more. He hasn’t exactly solidified his spot on the team, but he’s making it very hard for the Cowboys to cut him.

10. Tyler Patmon – Known more for trading punches with Dez Bryant earlier in camp, and then going toe-to-toe with several Rams players in that nasty brawl, Patmon also continued to impress the coaches with his play on the field. Taking advantage of several other injuries at the position, Patmon got plenty of reps and now appears to be the Cowboys’ slot corner with Orlando Scandrick out for the year.


9. Jack Crawford – We expected a Crawford to excel in camp, and while Tyrone was very good in his own right, Jack was just as impressive. He’s not going to start, but his versatility to play both tackle and end makes him valuable to the line. When the season starts and Greg Hardy is on suspension, Crawford could be the first backup at both defensive end and the 3-technique defensive tackle.

8. Tony Romo – Again, this isn’t a ranking of top players on the team, but mainly their performances in camp. He certainly practiced more this year than the last two years, but was still limited at times. And, of course, not having Dez Bryant for a lot of practices doesn’t help. But Romo was as solid as ever, showing he still has plenty of zip on the ball and his pocket presence looked on-point as ever.



7. Zack Martin – While he might have missed a few practices near the end of camp with a neck injury, Martin was still rock-solid in the times he was on the field. This guy is just a great football player and has been since he arrived to the team last spring. Martin doesn’t lose many, if any, battles 1-on-1 and makes few mental mistakes, making him much more advanced than your average second-year pro

That's a good article, thank you !

 

[dallasdave]

Impossible, actually.

No one in our front office has the ability to make Davon Coleman bleed his own blood.

He's a roster lock.

I agree with this !

I said it after we drafted him and nothing has changed my mind, I think there are going to be a few teams that are haunted by the fact they let Gregory fall right into our laps for a few years to come.

Still can't believe Dallas got him in the 2nd, that was great luck.

Holy Crapola...Beasley? I knew the lil' guy can ball but, wow. I don't follow TCamp too closely and had no idea he tore it up to that extent.

Sturm called Beasley the next "real" Wes Welker. He absolutely abused everybody who tried to cover him every single day. I took him in the 7th round of my fantasy draft and stole him.

he won't be

You don't think they'll regret letting a team that went 12-4 fill their biggest defensive hole with a first round talented player... with a late second round pick? "haunted" was kind of an exaggeration on my part... but I think it's safe to say, if Gregory pans out being the big "if", that teams will be kicking themselves for letting that player fall right into our laps.

not really, unless you pick a guy, you have no control on where he goes so outside of the teams who took pass rushers, I doubt anyone cares.

Coleman is our best 1-tech by a mile.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If he was 260 with a bigger frame he would have still gone in the first rnd
The risks along with the size combined scared teams off
If teams think you can play they tend to ignore the risks, if there are concerns about whether or not your game will translate to the nfl then they worry about the other stuff a lot more

I never heard the size thing. He seems to be the ideal size for a 3-4 pass rushing linebacker.

Teams ignore risks unless they are off the field risks. That's how the Cowboys got Dez. That's how Shane Ray fell to the Bronco's. Off the field risks are what scare people.

If that's how you choose to see it I guess, but I am pretty sure there were/are a lot of GMs/owners/coaches/fans who regret not taking Tom Brady in round five, but hell I could be wrong.

Well I agree but like I said with the Romo comparison the Brady thing is different. No one thought Brady would go on to be Tom Brady. EVeryone knew Dez was going to dominate as with Gregory. I mean Gregory was projected to be a top 5 pick in some mock drafts prior to his last year at college. Teams just didn't want to deal with the potential headache but most knew he would dominate.

For a decade+ to come.

Not necessarily saying this how I believe, but the performance of Beasley in camp could also be that scandrick was never healthy and maybe we don't have anyone else who can cover the slot position.

It bears watching.

• I don't want Beasley returning punts because he's far too valuable in the passing game. I think you have to limit the touches he gets because he's so small and special teams just too much.

The Rams couldn't stop him either....I know....it's the Rams, dude.

Coleman is ready for a breakout year.

He will be good this year. Dallas passing game goes to a new level.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Coleman is ready for a breakout year.

I'm in agreement with you.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Just FYI....I was dead wrong about Beasley and looks like I was wrong about Lawrence of Sack-rabia.

 

[Sarge]

Sturm called Beasley the next "real" Wes Welker. He absolutely abused everybody who tried to cover him every single day. I took him in the 7th round of my fantasy draft and stole him.

Beasley is averaging around 240th pick in fantasy drafts (14th) round. Many leagues he's not even drafted at all. IMO, taking him in the 7th round is no steal at all. I wish you good luck nonetheless.
