Mini-camp Day 2 report

Here are some observations from the morning practice on Day 2 of the three-day mini-camp at Valley Ranch....

* CB Pacman Jones was running some with the first-team defense during team drills. He was on the field opposite Pro Bowl CB Terence Newman.

* WR Miles Austin continues to show off good hands, ones that haven't always been so reliable.

* Not good: LB Bradie James put a clothsline hit on wide receiver Patrick Crayton knocking him to the ground near the sidelines during team drills.

* Showing signs: LB Bobby Carpenter continues to make plays on the field. He came up with an impressive break up in the middle of the field on a pass intended for TE Martellus Bennett.

* Rookie WR Joe West made a nice catch beating Pacman Jones on a pass from Richard Bartel.

* Kick returners: Pacman Jones, Miles Austin, Danny Amendola, Felix Jones.

* Bad hands: Rookie RB Tashard Choice had a rough morning on special teams. As part of the hands team on kickoff return he dropped two kicks that went right through his hands. He jumped for one and the other squirted through his hands.

* Good hands: CB Jerron Wishom had an interception for a would-be touchdown on a tipped pass off the hands of Martellus Bennett.

* Bradie the coverage man: Bradie James has been all over the field with tight coverage on the tight ends. Today, he was all over Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett.

* Drop alert: RBs Felix Jones and Alonzo Coleman on screens.

* Practice visitor: Southlake Carroll Dragons head coach Hal Wasson got a chance to visit the morning practice and check out the facility. Some of his assistants will attend during the afternoon.

Thoughts:

Pacman er..um... "Adam Jones" is moving up pretty impressively. Our secondary may actually live up to its billing this year.

Austin and Hurd are making things difficult for my boy Amendola....but that's a good thing.

I love both James blurbs...its' starting to look as if 2006 was an abberation in his career, and Crayton needs his *** handed to him every once in a while.

Damn near every report so far is pimping Carpenter...much to the shigrin of his detractors. I smell some crow on the kettle.

Bennett looks like more of a project than most second rounders "should" be, but his upside still sounds very promising. I'm expecting Curtis to produce more this year...

I love seeing that list of kick returners...I don't recall Dallas ever having as much talent in the return game. Hopefully we see some big plays there this year.

Don't like hearing about the drops from the RB's, but I doubt its anything to sweat.

Surprised Pacman is returning kicks instead of Stanback.

One thing I want to know is who is this Joe West guy and why is he beating Pacman. All of your other points are solid and BCarp is getting a lot of hype but I wonder if it is deserved because a pass deflection isn't that big of a deal IMHO.
