Nick Eatman: Without a doubt, this was the best day I’ve seen from Dak Prescott. All summer long and through this first week of camp, I’ve thoughtJameill Showers is a step above the rookie. And I’m not saying I’m changing my tune after one practice. But Prescott looked better to me on this day, showing not only some arm strength, but the ability to throw on the move. During a play-action period, Prescott made a good fake on the ball, rolled to his left and then, across his body, fired a pass back to the middle to an open Goeff Swaim. It’s not something quarterback coaches love to see because most quarterbacks can’t make the throw consistently because their feet aren’t set. Prescott made the throw with relative ease. He also showed nice touch on the ball during a Red-Zone period as well. Maybe these throwing sessions with Jason Garrett are paying off.

Bryan Broaddus: The front office and coaching staff have to be impressed so far from what they’ve seen from rookie cornerback Anthony Brown. While at Purdue and played as a boundary corner where he used the sideline to his advantage. With Orlando Scandrick working in and out of practice, it has been Brown that has had to play for him in the slot along with lining up on the outside. For Brown, dealing with Cole Beasley is no easy assignment and though he hasn’t been perfect, he has had more than his share of success.

"He’s playing with a ton of confidence, and he’s a player who seems to feed off a couple of good plays."

This is true and that is not the problem its when things start going sideways he loses that same confidence very fast.

It's very early in the careers of both backups, which applies to anyone in their first year and first two years respectively. Opinions flow like water in these early days of TC but the gradual process dictates who will gain prominence in the end. It'll be years yet before both Dak and Showers establish their competence standings. Nice to see that Dak has enjoyed better times as of late, however. Let's see if it continues.

Always been my issue with Mo. He isnt mentally strong enough to be a top CB and consistently match up with top WR's. He can do it from time to time, but not a guy thats gonna play like he did on Jones consistently

its been a week.
Im aware.

Considering they are both coming off injury riddled seasons, it is concerning to see Dez drop passes and their timing off. Especially considering the fact theyve been a duo for 5 years now...

I think you kinda answered it yourself. "Coming off injury riddled seasons" I don't think it's alarming or unrealistic to assume it's gonna take more than a handful of practices to get themselves together.
