Tank's take on Pacman
Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones gave new buddy Tank Johnson a call when he was reinstated on Monday. Johnson has helped Pacman since he joined the team guiding him with his transition and trying to steer him down the right path, since he has been there himself.
''He said I will be out there tomorrow and I told him I have been looking forward to it for a long time,'' Johnson said. ''We're excited for him and especially me because I have been down that path.''
Tank on the Cowboys watching Pacman at practice: ''Anytime you have a playmaker like that of
his caliber you've got to watch him because if you blink your eye he's going to be going the other way. Just like yesterday when he took a pick to the house. They said, 'There's goes that man' --because he's dang good at what he does.''
Tank on if Pacman can stay out of trouble: ''I'm sure he's going to do his very best. I am pretty confident he will do his best. He knows what's at stake and more importantly he knows what he has to be a part of. The good side of it is he has a chance to be apart of something special and he takes that very seriously.''

OTA observation deck
Here are a few observations from Wednesday's OTA practice at Valley Ranch....
* Indy Racing League star Helio Castroneves was a guest at Valley Ranch. He played catch with Tony Romo and then caught a few passes while covered by CB Terence Newman, who is a huge racing fan. After Castroneves beat him on a 25-yard go route, Newman buckled down with some press coverage on the next pass.
* CB Pacman Jones, in just his second practice after being out more than a year, had another interception. That's two in his first two practices. Dave Campo loves his new job.
* Also, Pacman looked tiny out there. He was never big to begin with but he appears to have lost weight in his upper body. He is listed at 5-10, 185 pounds.
* Safety Roy Williams accidentally plowed over RB Felix Jones on a run knocking him to the ground during team drills. Maybe that was a good sign, Cowboys fans.
* Newman said he ain't going to babysit Pacaman but he did offer him a little 1-on-1 instruction today during defensive back drills.
* Deion Sanders, the mentor to the troubled Dallas stars, was at practice and wearing a gray fedora. Sanders talked after practice about his new project, Pacman Jones.
* Jerry Jones' first stop on the practice field when he arrived was to watch the defensive backs and Pacman.
* WR Isaiah Stanback, whom the coaches have high hopes for, made an impressive leaping catch during practice.
* Not there: FS Ken Hamlin and WR Terry Glenn.
* Back at practice: OLB Greg Ellis.
* Locker room observation: Pacman is one locker (which says Adam Jones, by the way) away from new buddy Tank Johnson. Sandwiched in between is rookie WR Danny Amendola. No word if they have invited Danny to hang out.
* Heard outside the locker room: Pacman touting his bowling ability to some Cowboys officials. Pacman does have some serious game on the lanes.
* One of Pacman's new teammate buddies is the very likable Deon Anderson, the second-year fullback.
