Cowboys training camp live updates
Chat Link: http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=5386576
I'll only update the first post with player and practice updates. Very few questions from the chat will be posted. You are welcome to post any of those in the thread.
2:02 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Practice starts at 2:15. We've got a couple of new faces. They signed DL Jimmy Saddler-McQueen of Texas A&M-Kingsville and DB Teddy Williams, a UT-San Antonio track star who didn't play college football.
Fire away with questions. We'll get cranking in a few minutes.
2:04 BryanBroaddus: The Cowboys have added a track athlete by the name of Teddy Williams to the roster and released Kicker Delbert Alvarado. More details ahead [via Twitter]
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:04 BryanBroaddus
2:04 espn_macmahon: Cowboys make a roster move adding DT Jimmy Saddler-McQueen from Texas AM Kingsville. Saddler-McQueen is 6'3" 296 5.07. (via @BryanBroaddus) [via Twitter]
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:04 espn_macmahon
2:04 BryanBroaddus: To make room for Saddler-McQueen the Cowboys released Defensive End Lorenzo Washington. [via Twitter]

2:04 BryanBroaddus: Cowboys make a roster move adding DT Jimmy Saddler-McQueen from Texas AM Kingsville. Saddler-McQueen is 6'3" 296 5.07. In mini camp w/ Bears [via Twitter]
2:15 benandskin: Fan reaction to Dez walking onto field @ Alamodome is similar to reception Kimmel gets for monologue. Dezmania is only beginning. #scary [via Twitter]
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:15 benandskin
2:15 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): That's heartwarming stuff.
2:49 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Stretching
2:50 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Nothing new to report. Austin is the priority, but it'll probably be a lot easier to get the Sensabaugh deal done.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:50 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Field goals now. Buehler good from about 30. Good from 25.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Good from 30. Barely.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:52 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Good from 24.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:52 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:52 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Good from 24 again.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:52 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:53 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): And that's it for field goals. OK, offense plays vs. air and defense position drills now. Back to chatting.
2:53 benandskin: David Buehler looks good although his attempts were all bunnies. Everything right down the middle of the uprights w/authority. #encouraging [via Twitter]
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:53 benandskin
2:54 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): He'll have to go with the nang-on-and-wait-for-help tactic from time to time. Wade Phillips thinks the Cowboys' front seven is good enough to have a lighter free safety because they won't have to make many stops in the run game.
2:56 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): They'll end up paying to keep Spencer. But he has two years left on his deal, so no hurry.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:56 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:56 calvinwatkins: As far as contracts go, austin, sensabaugh, ratliff, jenkins, spencer will get new deals in that order. [via Twitter]
2:57 calvinwatkins: I wonder if I'm Jimmy Sexton, witten's agent, do I make a phone call after seeing the gates deal. [via Twitter]

He's big, fast, explosive out of cuts and has a great rapport with his quarterback. He's a deep threat who is also dangerous after the catch. He's developed into a very good route runner over the last couple of years. Broaddus always raves about how Austin always goes the same speed, giving cornerbacks no hint of when he's about to make a cut.

Thursday July 29, 2010 3:11 Guest
3:12 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): They've got some packages that put both on the field. Even one that has Choice there with them. We actually saw Felix line up at fullback with Barber behind him in an offset I the other day. A lot of times, they'll line up in the backfield together and then Felix will motion to the slot or out wide.

4:05 BryanBroaddus: Jay Ratliff is just so disruptive inside at the nose because he reads the blocking schemes quickly and reacts to the ball. [via Twitter]
4:06 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Jason Williams came clean on a blitz. Guard Mike Tepper is getting to know what Hudson Houck had for lunch.

4:07 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Cletis Gordon breaks up Romo stop route to Dez Bryant. Nice break on the ball.
4:08 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Romo to Witten on a crossing route to move the sticks. Jason Williams in coverage.
4:08 BryanBroaddus: Just saw something that i thought i would never see, Dez Bryant dropping a ball in traffic. He is usually very good with men on his back. [via Twitter]
4:09 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Romo floats a swing pass over DeMarcus Ware to Felix Jones. Newman arrived right after the ball at the line of scrimmage.
4:10 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Spears bats down Romo's throw. Brooking had great coverage in flat vs. Witten. That play-action play never seems to work in camp.
4:10 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Offsides, DeMarcus Ware.
4:11 BryanBroaddus: Waggles and boots usually work against every other team in the NFL but when you leave Ware unblocked, something bad usually happens. [via Twitter]
4:11 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Jenkins breaks up the quick out to Austin. Romo's throw was a bit behind him.

Chat Link: http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=5386576
I'll only update the first post with player and practice updates. Very few questions from the chat will be posted. You are welcome to post any of those in the thread.
2:02 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Practice starts at 2:15. We've got a couple of new faces. They signed DL Jimmy Saddler-McQueen of Texas A&M-Kingsville and DB Teddy Williams, a UT-San Antonio track star who didn't play college football.
Fire away with questions. We'll get cranking in a few minutes.
2:04 BryanBroaddus: The Cowboys have added a track athlete by the name of Teddy Williams to the roster and released Kicker Delbert Alvarado. More details ahead [via Twitter]

Thursday July 29, 2010 2:04 espn_macmahon
2:04 BryanBroaddus: To make room for Saddler-McQueen the Cowboys released Defensive End Lorenzo Washington. [via Twitter]

2:15 benandskin: Fan reaction to Dez walking onto field @ Alamodome is similar to reception Kimmel gets for monologue. Dezmania is only beginning. #scary [via Twitter]
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:15 benandskin
2:15 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): That's heartwarming stuff.
2:49 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Stretching
2:50 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Nothing new to report. Austin is the priority, but it'll probably be a lot easier to get the Sensabaugh deal done.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:50 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Field goals now. Buehler good from about 30. Good from 25.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Good from 30. Barely.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:51 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)

2:53 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): And that's it for field goals. OK, offense plays vs. air and defense position drills now. Back to chatting.
2:53 benandskin: David Buehler looks good although his attempts were all bunnies. Everything right down the middle of the uprights w/authority. #encouraging [via Twitter]
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:53 benandskin
2:54 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): He'll have to go with the nang-on-and-wait-for-help tactic from time to time. Wade Phillips thinks the Cowboys' front seven is good enough to have a lighter free safety because they won't have to make many stops in the run game.
2:56 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): They'll end up paying to keep Spencer. But he has two years left on his deal, so no hurry.
Thursday July 29, 2010 2:56 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas)
2:56 calvinwatkins: As far as contracts go, austin, sensabaugh, ratliff, jenkins, spencer will get new deals in that order. [via Twitter]
2:57 calvinwatkins: I wonder if I'm Jimmy Sexton, witten's agent, do I make a phone call after seeing the gates deal. [via Twitter]

He's a deep threat who is also dangerous after the catch. He's developed into a very good route runner over the last couple of years. Broaddus always raves about how Austin always goes the same speed, giving cornerbacks no hint of when he's about to make a cut.

Thursday July 29, 2010 3:11 Guest
3:12 Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): They've got some packages that put both on the field. Even one that has Choice there with them. We actually saw Felix line up at fullback with Barber behind him in an offset I the other day. A lot of times, they'll line up in the backfield together and then Felix will motion to the slot or out wide.
