Watkins on practice

Spirited practice today.
Of course, everybody is talking about Terrell Owens' double-move on Adam Jones leading to a touchdown. But Jones looked rusty all day. He fell down while covering Owens on another route and he probably needs to just relax and settle down.
Once he does that he'll be fine. Jones said he still doesn't know the defense. I asked him does he need a few preseason games to find a flow and he said, smiling, "all I need is a couple of more practices, I'll be all right."
Alonzo Coleman is struggling. The running back took the wrong route during a kick coverage drill. The drill is designed for every player to hit somebody and Coleman didn't touch anybody. Tight ends coach John Stewart got on Coleman about it.
Tony Romo looks really good right now. He's hitting, not everybody, but a good percentage of his receivers. He found Terrell Owens get behind the defense for a touchdown, Patrick Watkins was trailing the play.
Rookie tight end Martellus Bennett drew a pass interference call on linebacker Bradie James. Bennett looks a little raw, needs to make sharper cuts during his routes. But Bennett did look good on his blocks on some special teams drills.
Felix Jones, the rookie running back, ran smoothly and lined up wide for a pass play. But he slipped down as the primary receiver on one route, prompting Tony Romo to look for his second option, and when that was covered up, he threw the ball away. Jones was impressive on a kickoff return drill. When getting through the hole, Jones covered up the ball so no one would strip him as he ran down the field.
