DMN Camp Blog: Mosley, Cowlishaw, Watkins Afternoon Practice Reports (LONG)

I have been soemwhat slow to jump on the Marc Columbo bandwagon as a precaution to my own physche but the former 1st rounde ris really looking like he has some desire to go with at least some of that former athleticism. Looks like an opening day starter to me.

Columbo has been my dark horse since we signed him.

Not gonna say anymore, don't wanna jinx it....

The 2 best holders I've ever seen were Jay Novacek and Joe Theisman. Yeah no joke, Joey T. who was probably the best I ever saw. I've always thought you needed great hands and a feel for the ball. A QB normally has the feel, but does he have the hands? I really don't know the answer to that because I have never held a ball for a PAT or FG.

I know the kickers want the laces out so you spin them away. This is why I say those 2 guys were the best I've seen. No bobbled snaps and laces out every time.

I'm wondering if Romo is not smooth on getting the ball down and thus they call it heavy? Again, I really don't know so it's just speculation. I do find it odd that Cundiff pointed a finger at him now this. I completely ignored Cundiff as sour grapes. Maybe it wasn't I truly don't know.

I've wanted Crayton or Witten to hold. Again, hands are so important in a hold. Parcells likes for a QB to hold. I want the best hands guy to do it. If that's a QB fine. If that's the Punter, fine. But if Romo's a liability take that away from him and let him focus on being the best QB he can be.

Don't forget about Danny White Hos. Not so bad either.

Sorry, your right with your observations on Theisman but somehow, I just can't bring myself to give credit, even where it might be due, to old Norman Einstein. I guess it's a character flaw on my part.

LOL.....

Cortez mentioned it too?

Don't get me wrong I still blame the lace panties kickers for not being able to kick a "heavy ball."

Yeah, he did, or really, maybe the better way to put it is he tried to say something. I think he was actually trying to get that out just before Larry got his hands around his throat and cut off all air to the speak pattern. After that, everything was just a bit garbled.

:laugh2:

The fact that Columbo chased a guy fourty yards, and then jogged back to the huddle is very encouraging, remember nobody ever questioned this former first round picks' talent, it was the knee injury that held him back. If his knees are not giving him problems as theses reports seem to prove, then we could have a hungry, talented, young, former first round pick playing right tackle, with Pettetti offering strong competition and/or depth. Very Encouraging!
