CBSSportsline: Dallas Cowboys RapidReports By Bryan Broaddus 8/5

I know, most people have said what you guys have said. Just reporting.

They were saying that they thought in these type practices, the D often pulls up more than is sometime obvious (on potential sacks, tackles, etc.), but the O-line could be doing the same thing.

I do think that facing what we know is at least one of the best pass rush teams in the league can only help our O when it comes to picking up blitzes from the Iggs and Giants.

Oh, yeah, they both do. It's absolutely impossible to judge either rushers or linemen based on training camp. Just ignore any report that even tries to.

Exactly, and the big surprise of this camp, NO distractions, No TO and Romo drama. It really seems, Dallas is focusing on football, limiting the distractions and getting right.

everything EXCEPT for the stadium drama of the $90 Pizza and $66 12pack.

Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is doing his best to get all his weapons on the field at the same time. In the first play of 7-on-7, Garrett had RB's Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice as part of the personnel package.

Is anyone else drooling over this?

T bone backfield, then motion Felix out to take a linebacker w/ him. Then you have Barber and Choice both in the backfield both of which who can catch the ball, but better yet, the defense has to respect both sides of the field with a run, and fakes/counters could be nasty to get them off balance.

I think it's just gimmicky and kind of a waste, actually. Felix is the only one who defenses would pay special attention to. Say he's a decoy -- only one of Barber and Choice can get the ball. I'd rather have a good blocker out there instead of one of these guys.

With a passing QB, the O is already playing 10 on 11. Why make it 9 on 11?
