Jalen Tolbert stole the show on day one, making the most of every rep he can get with the team’s best receiver CeeDee Lamb not present. With the likes of Tolbert, Brandin Cooks, Jalen Brooks, rookie Ryan Flournoy, and even Tyron Billy-Johnson looking to give the Cowboys secondary a formidable test in these practices, it was last year’s NFL record breaker that helped the defense respond on day two with DaRon Bland doing what he does best and making plays on the ball. Bland is entering year three having followed up a strong rookie performance by intercepting a league-high nine passes and returning five for touchdowns - something that had never been done before. The hype continues to grow for Bland to somehow be even better this season, not only teaming up with Trevon Diggs who returns from an ACL tear but a new defensive coordinator in Mike Zimmer.
Diggs has yet to practice with the team in Oxnard yet, starting training camp on PUP but getting closer to being able to rejoin a defense that was without him since week three a year ago.
With Zimmer’s defenses historically having strong secondaries that force tight throws from opposing offenses, and this already being a strength for Dallas under previous DC Dan Quinn and secondary coach Al Harris, it’s no surprise this group is having a strong start to training camp and could be one of the strengths of the entire team all season. The Cowboys not only were able to retain Harris on their coaching staff for this season, but now have the 14-year NFL veteran as assistant head coach to help this team even more.
