Media Minicamp Practice Updates - 06/13/12

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus
Looks like no Bruce Carter today with the hamstring so Orie Lemon, Caleb McSurdy and Aston Whiteside will get the work.

Nickel WRs with 2nd group is Radway Holmes and Beasley in the slot. Tanner is the RB.

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez
Bruce Carter on the field with his helmet. Stretching. We'll see how much work he does. Orton has helmet and is throwing,

Lissemore, Ratliff no helmets. Both stretching, but probably aren't going to practice. #cowboys #minicamp #day2

Connor, albright, Jenkins, Felix, wilber headed for more side work. Kowalski not out here. Out all week in a boot.

Jay Ratliff working in a line drill without a helmet. Springing up out of his stance. Said a quick hello yesterday and said he was doing ok.

Bruce Carter has not taken his turn in a drill yet. He's with his group in helmet. Not working on the side. #cowboys #minicamp

Lissemore, Ratliff both hitting the sleds. No helmets. For guys with a neck (Rat) and rib cartilage (Liss), looks like good sign.

Orton is back to watching. Not throwing in the full speed drills. Tweak of the hammy, Garrett said yesterday.

Another one-hander for dez. Back of the end zone. Reached with left hand, pulled it to his left knee as he landed, secured. Dude is a show.

Lissemore running scout tailback. Scooting hard without a helmet. Getting plenty of kidding in mock wrapup from Sean Lee. Relaxed group.

Josh Ellis ‏@DCStarJEllis
Anthony Spencer not around as the Cowboys begin today's workout. We'll try and figure out what's keeping him from practice.

Knee soreness for Spencer. Nothing too bad, it sounds like.

Very light work on the field for Mike Jenkins for the second straight day, now headed inside.

Josh Ellis ‏@DCStarJEllis
RT @ADRIAN1000CC_R1 don't the boys have a 6'5" wr?} It was a position drill, DBs vs. DBs. Mana Silva does a poor Megatron impression.

Clearly my complaining about the heat yesterday was taken under advisement. A beautiful 77 degrees out here right now.



Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher
Anthony Spencer not at practice. Has a sore knee. Same absences as Tuesday.

Jerome Henderson has the DBs working in the end zone. However, the Cowboys don't have a Calvin Johnson, so we'll see if this works.

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3
Chargers claimed rookie OT Taylor Dever off waivers from the Cowboys. Was let go to make room for Pat McQuistan.

Geez, sounds like a MASH unit in June. I get it though, no need to take chances in OTA's.

 

[Frozen700]

love you WG...thanks

 

[cowboy_ron]

Sounds like Dez will be quite the show this year

Can't wait for him to silence all the critics/haters

Cowboys agree to terms with defensive end Tyrone Crawford, now have four draft picks in the fold.

improved secondary looking good in practice against Cowboys O, especially CB Brandon Carr, nicknamed "dollar dollar" for his big contract

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus
Good for Tyron Smith that he is getting this much work against Ware. He has done nothing but test his technique off the edge.

Last week Radway ran a drag across the back of the end for a TD from Orton. Same route Romo tries to fit the ball in there. Carr there.

Haven't spoke much about Austin this off season but looks in outstanding shape. Routes been good and snatching everything in sight.

Nate Livings not know for his mobility in space but a real nice kick out block on Butler that allowed Tanner to get inside.

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3
Situational work now. Ball in the red zone, down by 4.

Carr breaks up pass in the back of the end zone. Previous play, Tyron Smith held off D-Ware bullrush long enough, but throw incomplete.

Phillip Tanner showing some burst on a stretch play. He and Lance Dunbar really have that.

Speaking of that, Dunbar just broke into the secondary. No tackling, remember.

Converted WR Teddy Williams getting first-team reps at corner with Claiborne, Jenkins out. Scandrick in the slot in dime.

Josh Ellis ‏@DCStarJEllis
First defense is killing the Romo's first offense in this red zone 11-on-11 drill. Five straight incompletions.

We've seen Murray lose the ball a few times this summer. He just fumbled through the end zone for a touchback. Wasn't a fumbler last year.

RT @xavierortiz183 we be worried about off red zone or happy abt red zone def?} Neither. It's June 13.

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez
Big show for Carr in 1s vs 1s red zone. Shut down KO, harris, radway, miles on end zone passes. Two pbus. Two uncatchable. No room.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus
Spears able to get outside on the screen to the right. Good job of playing off block and finding the ball. Looked active.

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3
Ware pulls inside move on Smith, but Romo gets the ball out quickly.

McGee floats a perfect pass to Dwayne Harris, TD, from about the 15.

Matt Mosley ‏@mattmosley
Jerry Jones envisions a scenario where DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones line up in the same backfield. No, I'm serious. #coachjones

LMAO!

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez
Orie Lemon works in Carter's place at ILB. He and Lee have hands full with size of Witten, Phillips.

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher
Cole Beasley appeared to hurt his right knee on crossing route in end zone. Just kind of collapsed as he went 4 ball. Was able 2 walk off.

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus
Have good package where they put Tanner and Murray in the backfield together but allowed Murray to slip out and Tanner block Good use there.

Nick Eatman ‏@nickeatman
Two picks in the team period for CB Isaac Madison .. Making most of opportunity with claiborne and Jenkins out

Josh Ellis ‏@DCStarJEllis
Seems like Ogletree's having a nice day. If there were a game tomorrow, he's still your third. None of the other guys has really jumped out.

Could this be the D we have been waiting for???????

Brandon Carr???? Revis who???.....wait and we are doing all this without Clai and Jenk? wow

Nick Eatman ‏@nickeatman

could we have found another gem? Atleast he is a playmaker. A position of weakness becomes a position of strength in a year:starspin

but i'll reserve that until preseason atleast:

now we just need atleast 2 more inside linebackers (bruce carter, lemon, connor or etc) to look good. Just incase injury happens to sean lee or bruce carter.

impressive because our offense is basically full strength while the defense is rest alot of guys due to injury or etc. Is this good news or bad news

stay tuned:starspin

I would say Carr...is going to be the biggest difference in this D

Thanks, WG.

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3
Tyrone Crawford expected to sign his rookie deal...that leaves the Cowboys top three picks left, including Morris Claiborne.

Stephen Jones said he would anticipate more getting done this week. Key to Claiborne deal is picks around him in top 10 getting done too.

Offset language in those deals likely holding things up.

Josh Ellis ‏@DCStarJEllis
Stephen Jones says Jenkins may not be ready for the start of camp. Could begin on Physically Unable to Perform list.

If he remains on the PUP list after preseason he is not eligible to play for the first half of the season correct?

 

[Questfor6]

Yeah he can't come of the PUP list until after week 6, lucky for us he would only miss 5 games with the early bye week.
