Jason Witten did not get to see everything Pacman Jones did in his first workout with the Cowboys on Tuesday, but he saw the interception.

"First time I think he was in there, you see 21 go the other way," Witten said. "I told him, 'That's the third group. Don't get your hopes up. When you're with the first team, you won't get that one taken to the house.'"

Witten got to know Pacman a little bit at the charity bowling event he held recently. Jones sent him a text asking if he could come, which Witten gladly accepted.

"The one thing I did see [on the practice field] was that he was excited to be out on the field," Witten said. "It looked like it was a long time coming for him. Obviously he's a great player, but I think he's just excited to be out there. He was all smiles. I think he embraces the opportunity to play."

Jason Witten gets out the word

After finishing working out at Valley Ranch Tuesday, All-Pro tight end Jason Witten made his way to Texas Stadium to play some more football, soccer, jump some rope and even attempt to work the hula hoop as part of his involvement in the NFL's Play 60 program.

"It's been a while since I've done the hula hoop now," Witten said.

Witten was on hand for an announcement involving the Ad Council's campaign to fight child obesity. Last year Witten filmed a commercial with San Diego's Antonio Gates and New Orleans' Reggie Bush to encourage kids to to play for an hour a day. In addition to the Ad Council and the NFL, the Department of Health and Human Services has joined to sponsor the effort.

"This is a huge problem that we have in our country, not just here in North Texas," Witten said, "and I think trying to bring awareness up is something I wanted to do."

Nah, I think T.O would do the honors.

I don't think anyone would, but it's nice to see Witten give PacMan some ****

it's also nice to see pacman do this after such a long layoff. 3rd team or not that's pretty damn good.

 

[Disturbed]

Witten may be referencing the fact that the first team would be better route runners and fight for the ball, not give up as easily. Pacman is obviously going to shine playing against the third team.

But good for Pacman to do well and get his confidence back. Maybe he can play against the second team soon, and then the first down the road.

stuff like that you don't need much practice

just learning the D, which is great since we already have our starters locked up, at least for this year, so he can snag some errant throws and take them to the house as the 3rd corner, which is pretty much all I'm expecting from him this year

derek anderson is in a world of trouble my friends.... i am predicting 10-27, 145 yards and 3 picks.

I just think its good for him to get that monkey off his back. He hasnt been to an NFL practice in a year and to come in and do well is a good thing even if it is on third team.

Our second string in preseason more than likely is going to be Jenins and Jones. Spencer and Walden will have all day to get tot he QB.

Actually our second string defense is pretty stout.

Hatcher Tank Bowen
Spencer Carp Burnett Walden
Jones Brown Watkins Jenkins

Just WOW.

Jebus. Once you put it on paper, that is absurd depth.
