Terence Newman considers mentoring the young cornerbacks part of his job. He's also a huge help to the young receivers on the roster.

Third-year WR Miles Austin gives Newman credit for helping him learn how to get off press and jam coverage.

"That's the main thing I feel like I got better at since my rookie year," Austin said. "That's a tough thing to do, especially coming from a small school like me."

Austin said he rarely saw press coverage while playing at Monmouth, and he could overpower small cornerbacks who did try to play up on him. But he couldn't beat NFL press coverage without completely overhauling his technique.

Newman occasionally works with the young receivers after practices. He's often in their ears during practice, telling them what works against cornerbacks and what doesn't.

Austin seems to have learned well. Matter of fact, he got inside Newman on a slant for a TD in goal-to-go work during the afternoon workout.

I'm sooo glad we decided to keep this guy. His contribution to this team is paralleled by few.

Newman and Ware are cornerstones of that defense and team as a whole!

Its hard to not love Newman.

He, D.Ware and Witten are exactly the type of guys I love being Cowboys. Drafted, played for, probowls for, and hopefully retiring for dallas.

TNew are you any good at teaching how to grow hands 101?

We expect Mr. Austin will be the first to arrive to your next class.

He has potential to be a #2, time is on our side...

Well you're right, in an odd sort of way.

Austin just may do something good this year.

 

[WilmingtonHeel]

He might............ Will just see he's got some quicks!

Austin just may do something good this year.

Hopefully he hasn't been eating any of T.O's butterd popcorn before the game.

Austin is definitely the offseason king. With the way people talk about him, you would think he would be the clear cut #2. I bet he goes into the season at #4 on the depth chart, though.

I am excited to see the strides of the young guys.

agreed.......possibly #5 if Glenn sticks around (TO, Glenn, Crayton, Hurd)

It's articles like this one and the other one about him today that make me regret ever thinking he was expendable when we got Pacman and Jenkins. The guy adds a lot more to this team than I realized and for the price we had to pay I think he is hands-down the cornerstone of this defense.
