ESPN Dallas: Live: Minicamp (Day 2, Session 4)

[WoodysGirl]

espn_macmahon:
Quite a scene at JerryWorld. Two parking lots already full, a third more than halfway. They were showing World Cup on big screens.

espn_macmahon:
Mat McBriar is booming punts. Told me today that he's completely recovered from minor knee surgery. Dez, Crayton, Newman working on returns. Saturday June 12, 2010 3:19 espn_macmahon
3:23
espn_macmahon:
Undrafted safety Danny McCray working with 1s punt unit as gunner. That's a sign he's shown coaches something. Other gunner: Ogletree Saturday June 12, 2010 3:23 espn_macmahon

3:26
espn_macmahon:
Special teams stuff is over. Looks like we won't get to see David Buehler kick any field goals.

espn_macmahon:

246-pound Jason Williams just did a standing back flip, perhaps to prove he could. I give him a 6.5 because he didn't stick landing.

espn_macmahon:
Defense doing position drills. Offense running plays vs air. Brooking and B Williams get afternoon off again as precaution.

[SDCowboy]

I guess the hammy is doing o.k.

Dez said it was fine the day he got it.

 

[WoodysGirl]

espn_macmahon: @albertbreer Folks pay JerryWorld tour price of $17.50 to see Cowboys practice. Ain't all about goodwill around these parts.

Saturday June 12, 2010 4:50 espn_macmahon
4:52 espn_macmahon: One player signed autographs after practice. Dez Bryant signed while teammates headed for bus.

 

[Hoofbite]

D seems to be getting their hands on a lot of passes.

Be good if the defense could carry that to the season and produce some short fields.

4:52 espn_macmahon: One player signed autographs after practice. Dez Bryant signed while teammates headed for bus.

Yeap, riskiest player in the draft right there. Totally has some character issues.

I hear that. Our defense has gotten so much better at getting to the QB over the last few seasons, we just gotta start getting those turnovers. I love Newman and think he is a solid DB, but his hands have never impressed me. I think Jenkins has a bright future in that regard.

Jun 12, 2010 4:21 PM

Jun 12, 2010 4:18 PM

Dez said it was fine the day he got it.

Yah I read where he said it was o.k. You never really know until you go full.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Yeap, riskiest player in the draft right there. Totally has some character issues.

I pray that he turns out to be very, very good on and off the field so we can rub it into all his pundits faces.

Looks like Wade is having family day again this year.

 

[esmith1790]

i just got back from there. i did pay the 17.50 but that got the self guided tour. i got there around 1pm and walked on the field and went into the locker rooms, media side and down the cowboys tunnel. Then went to the other side to the tunnel and tried my McNabb air guitar and a few guys laughed, others had no clue.

DEZ was really doing well in the punt return and KO drills. Did see that long bomb he had for a TD.

Mcbriar was booming the punts. Not sure who the back up punter is, but dang he sucked. Matt was booming higher and farther.

i did see Newman go down. It was on the sidelines opposite side of the fans and on the sidelines so play kept going. I was glad no cart came out. He was back in there a few minutes later.

I didnt have a number guide so couldnt tell about anyone specific that was new.

any questions ask and i can try to think or comment.
