Practice today was without pads and was cut short by about a half hour. The Cowboys had team drills (still no hitting allowed) and focused on....special teams coverage. I know what you're thinking.
Scare of the day: WR Terrell Owens suffered a brief injury to his hand on a poor short pass from Tony Romo. Owens grabbed his hand and leaned over in pain. Nothing serious. He returned with the starters fo the next series.
Defensive player of the day: CB Evan Oglesby. This guy is the All-Oxnerd MVP. He had two more interceptions on Monday. He had a leaping pickoff of Brad Johnson and had another off a tip.
Sloppy accuracy: Tony Romo didn't look good today. He was not sharp and threw a ball behind Miles Austin for an interception and missed Owens badly on a few throws.
Henry gets INT: CB Anthony Henry continues to remain steady. He intercepted a Romo pass off the hands of Miles Austin.
Bobby does it again: Wade Phillips said Bobby Carpenter's hard work is paying off. He busted up a pass intended for Jason Witten in team drills. Carpenter has been stellar in practice and led the team with seven tackles in the preseason game. Wade said he looked better than he did at any point last year.
Bennett drops, Atchison catches: Second-round pick Martellus Bennett's inconsistent hands continue. He had a drop in practice and undrafted free agent TE Drew Atchison made a high reaching grab to the outside.
One more: The last practice in this lovely town with great weather will be Tuesday at 12:45 p.m. (central).

Pacman unplugged
Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones didn't play well Saturday night and he felt his timing was off in his first game since missing the 2007 season. He sounded off on himself on Monday after practice.
On his first game: "When you go in the big leagues against professionals and you haven't done it
in a while you are going to be a little rusty. I am just taking my time. It will work out. It's nothing for me to worry about. I know what I got to do and I am going to do it.
On missed tackles: I got to start hitting people. It's game speed. You see how I am pursuing to the ball today. One thing about it, I watch my film and I am the biggest critic of myself. That is pathetic for me to be missing tackles like that. I don't give a damn about me being out of football for two or three years. A tackle is a tackle, but I will get it together. Hopefully I won't miss no more."
On being patient: "Damn patience. I got to make it do what it do. I ain't come here to be patient. I have worked too hard. The first preseason game I always play like (expletive). We will see how I play this weekend. If I do the same (expletive) I did last weekend this weekend put me under the bus. But I doubt that is going to happen. I give y'all permission to blast me if I do it again this week."
