Monday AM Practice, August 3rd (10:42am)3rd Aug, 2009Cowboys with two more practices today, they’ve gone through some early special teams drills, now limbering up, then special teams again…and we’ll keep you updated throughout the morning.
As of now, I do not see Tatum’s Stephen Hodge dressed out, so his return from PUP may have been delayed.
He is going through the stretching drills with the team, but not in his jersey or pads.
Any questions I can answer about the team in the meantime?
Cowboys started their position drills with offense on one end, defense on the other.
We’ll see some offense vs. defense competition coming up:
11-on-11…maybe some contact?
Romo shotgun, Barber to his right, pressured by Jay Ratliff, pass in the flat for Marion Barber is incomplete.
Romo under center, Barber 1-back, now Felix Jones comes in motion and dots the I behind Barber, flip to the left–not much room, Olshansky was huffing and puffing, and Ken Hamlin there to make the stop.
Romo shotgun, has time—throws over the middle incomplete, Austin and Witten were in the same vicinity.
Romo shotgun, Felix Jones in motion left stops on the edge, now Witten in motion right, and Romo hits him with a slant…Witten made a one-handed catch and then brought it down.
Romo under center, Barber 1-back, Barber left guard, Keith Brooking there immediately.
Romo shotgun, Jones in motion stops at Romo’s right hip, QB draw for some decent yardage.
Cowboys are obviously working on a lot of their motion plays–and that’s something Wade Phillips talked about on the opening day of training camp.
Kitna shotgun, throws left side, batted in the air by DL Derreck Robinson, incomplete pass.
Kitna under center and now backs into the shotgun formation, Tashard Choice to his right, now in motion right, slant near the end zone for Martellus Bennett, a little high, incomplete pass.
Kitna shotgun, Hurd motions right into the slot, delay handoff to Choice who always makes every run look good.
Kitna shotgun, Choice to his left this time, now in motion to the left, nice pass into the left seam for Patrick Crayton, 8-10 yards.
Kitna under center, Keon Lattimore moves behind him in motion, and then Choice moves in motion behind Lattimore. Fullback dive, fumble.
Kitna shotgun, Bennett to his left, now Choice to his right. Draw to Choice for some decent yardage.
McGee shotgun, underneath to a wide open Kevin Oglretree…about 5-6 yards.
McGee under center, Phillips the H-back left side, Lattimore left tackle, no gain, Jerome Carter came up to force the run.
McGee shotgun, four WR’s, sideline completion to Willie Reid for 6-8 yards.
Horn sounds, water break.
Continuation of a different set with 11-on-11:
Offense at the defense 13-yard line.
Romo shotgun, Barber to his left, now in motion right, bad snap hits the ground, Romo scrambles into the end zone.
Romo shotgun, Barber to his right, now in motion right, nice throw to the back shoulder of Martellus Bennett for a touchdown, and there was great coverage from Bradie James.
Romo shotgun, Barber to his right, defensive mixup—do over.
Romo shotgun, from the 9, Barber to his right, Witten H-back right, Romo throws right underneath for Witten, underthrown–might’ve had his arm hit, incomplete pass.
Romo shotgun, from the 8, Barber in slot left side, 3-WR’s, Witten TE right side, delayed draw counter to Barber who didn’t seem to know what was going on…no gain.

Romo shotgun, they mark it at the 5, Felix Jones 1-Back, Deon Anderson motions offset I, Romo short dump into the end zone for Crayton, Intercepted by Alan Ball.
Romo shotgun, Crayton motion left, Jones to his right, draw play would’ve probably scored from the 5-yard line.

Kitna shotgun from the 7, Choice to his right, Hurd split wide right, mixup, do over.
Kitna shotgun from the 7, Choice to his right, Hurd wide right, Kitna fires a low bullet for a touchdown to the diving John Phillips. Phillips seems to show up quite a bit battling for third TE position.

Kitna shotgun from the 3, Choice behind him, stack of receivers on right side, Kitna underneath to a wide open Sam Hurd for the touchdown.
Kitna shotgun again from the 3, Choice lined up behind him, Hurd motion right side, Kitna doesn’t find anyone open…would’ve been a sack or short gain.

More 11-on-11 Drills:

Backups coming in, I’m taking a break, back in a second.
Looks like practice is wrapping up with stretching exercises.
Pretty good competition today during 11-on-11.
Sometime soon, these guys will get tired of leaning on each other and want to hit someone else.
That won’t happen until the first pre-season game in a week and a half.
