Mini Camp notes

[BlindFaith]

I'm curious as to what you have seen from Ball that would have him beat a guy that has started a fair amount of NFL games.

I think he got hammered last year for a few bad plays. Then it became a dog pile.

He's big, strong and moves well. What I dont know is how smart he is, how hard of a worker he is, how good of a team mate he is.

This is basically his second year. It looks like the team has moved on from him as a primary back up/future starter at T. But he is getting first team reps now at G. And in a worst case scenario, he could give you snaps at T.

I really don't know much about Edoga. I havent seen him play. From what Ive read, hes an adequate backup. So to me, its a toss up.

Dak showing his leadership by building Gilmore's confidence.

Gilmore will actually help Dak Prescott to move on up to the next level. The off season is perfect for just this and the coaches are storing a bunch of knowledge right now.

Waletzko can play in this league. Fingers crossed he will be as good as I think he can be. Which is really good.

I’m curious now about who they had playing right tackle. I would have expected it to be the projected swing tackle Waletsko.

I'm ready to find out. Bring on September because I have lots of questions besides ROT.

I completely agree with this. The Cowboys are going to be really good this year.

Dak with another tight window throw due to poor route tree concepts, ahh nvm lmao.

I think that you are right. He very well could be a good player.

Can you imagine if both Cox and Clark arrive this year?

There'd be no excuse not to trade Micah.

Meh ...
OTAs and mini camps....who cares?
Can't think football when it's about to hit 100+degrees in a few days.....

Josh Ball is Chaz Green 2.0

In case you didn't get an official answer to this, dallascowboys.com had this:

But with Steele not cleared to take reps just yet, it was former fifth-round pick Matt Waletzko getting the work as starting right tackle.

Gilmore will be the best corner on this team this year. Not a knock on Diggs but Gilmore I believe has a very solid season or two in him. He is just more fundamentally sound than Diggs and craftier at this point.

 

[Rockport]

Dak racking up the TD passes.

Last year in camp Ball had big issues with quickness; However, he completely dominated CZ pet cat DT John Ridgeway...overpowered him.

 

[Dorsett33]

Looks like he is getting into form...again.

Hope you don't expect him not to throw ints this year....if so, you're going to be stressed out

Wouldn't surprise me if some rookie like Bass comes on like Steele did and beats them both out.

Vizcaino has be liking that he's getting all the kicks to prove himself. At this point, it's sink or swim for him. If the Cowboys are looking at the USFL kickers, it isn't really a bad move to just have Vizcaino on the roster right now. They are getting to watch those other kickers in live games without having to split reps.

I would not be surprised if Cowboys invest in Matt Waletzko at RT , in lue of replacing Steele at RT.

We seem geared to have several big, long term deals to the likes of Lamb, Diggs, Tyler B. and Pollard ... Steele may end up getting short end of the stick,
