That's good, it seems like Smith is the one guy we hadn't heard much about.

And I have a feeling we're going to just have to call these guys Brandon and Jason all year.

Or maybe, B. Will or J. Will.

You know we like our nicknames.

Yes we do, WoodyGee.

Good news to hear.

I'm still pretty pumped about this years rookies.

It seems like every interview somebody is talking up one of the rookies. It's never the same guy twice, either. Throw Allan Ball in there, too while you're at it.

Saw this tonight... Good footage of Newman working with the young CBs on their technique... Scandrick did prop Smith (who looks to me like he has some bulk to him), B.Will, and J.Will (WG ) and even Hodge.

Brady (Tinker) said some insider told him Sensabaugh was a good special teamer, but not someone you want starting long-term at S. Somehow I doubt that...

If Sensabaugh is just middle of the pack at SS, that is a huge upgrade for the Cowboys. This guy can really run and cover from everything I've read and heard about him. He looks really fast to me. Plus, Rafael Vela's source, the guy that predicted that Scandrick would contribute right off the bat, said Sensabaugh can play. That same source gave a very good report on Allan Ball (at CB and S) and praised Courtney Brown.

Look at the FS spot before Hamlin in 2007. Watkins and Keith Davis were really, really bad in coverage. Hamlin was a huge upgrade in coverage.

I don't know why you wouldn't want that speed in your secondary.

The Cowboys have completely over turned Parcells' secondary now, except for one player. Terence Newman. Now, they have built the secondary around him (Newman) and have added some serious, serious speed to go with his (Newman's) 4.35 speed.

Speed kills, and the Cowboys have it in spades back there now.

Just wait until Jason Williams figures things out. He can fly.

The Cowboys have now completed the transformation from Parcells' power philosophy on defense to Phillips' speed philosophy.

I can't wait until preseason to see all these young players in action.

Yeah.

I want to see it and hear it.

Thanks again.

CLab had nice information, too.

 

[Rampage]

here that , Bob? he said Brandon Williams not Victor "i'm moving in sloooooow motion" Butler.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

here that , Bob? he said Brandon Williams not Victor "i'm moving in sloooooow motion" Butler.

:laugh1: Wade mentioned him

that's what's important

 

[Cowboysfan22]

I am really looking forward to see the rookies play this season they look promising now but hopefuly they don't turn out to be busts.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Butler isn't doing good?

I don't see Parcells as wanting just big and powerful. He wanted both. It's just hard to get both. I don't want to see us get fast at the expense of physical. But I do agree you die if you don't have enough team speed.

I see what you mean, but if it comes down to power or speed, Parcells was a power guy. His front seven was based on power football. It was a reflection of his attutude. I don't think Parcells minded sacrificing some speed for some added power or size. I think the Patriots have this mindset with Jerod Mayo.

Bradie James and even DeMarcus Ware got too muscle bound or heavy in 2006. (See Bradie chasing TEs 30 yards down the field while carrying that extra weight he was carrying). Ware talked about being heavier. Roy Williams got bigger under Parcells. Dallas and Jacksonville were probably the two biggest teams in the NFL at that time.

Greg Ellis was a power player. Akin Ayodele was not fast at all. He was a power player. Anthony Henry wasn't very fast. He was probably a 4.5 guy before he lost a step or two. He was recommended by Todd Bowles and was brought over to cover receivers like Plaxico Burress. Keith Davis was a poor man's Roy Williams, and he was being played at FS.

Darren Woodson, Mario Edwards and Roy Williams were there before BP got here. He then picked Newman. Pretty good pick. Then Woody had to retire and we started looking for his replacement which took a few years. You recall BP wanted Roy to LOSE weight? Remember the biscuit quote?
Mario Edwards could not keep the refs happy and got tossed out of the league basically.
Blaming BP for Ware and James muscling up is pushing it. BOth were young players who had to get stronger anyway. Brady went too far but I flat out say DWare did not. Anthony henry was acquired to deal with big WRs like TO.

burmafrd,

I know how much you respect Bill Parcells and for good reason. He wins every where he goes and won two Super Bowls.

In 2006, Bradie played at 265 and dropped 20 pounds, so he could play at 245 in 2007. He said that he needed the weight to take on the guards. Parcells was a control freak, so I'm sure he approved the weights.

Ware only dropped 5 pounds after Phillips arrived and said he felt sluggish carrying the extra 5 pounds in the fourth quarter during the 2006 season.

Spears dropped 20 pounds.

Roy Williams dropped 15 pounds. I do remember the biscuit quote, so I get you there. Losing Woodson hurt Roy Williams in many ways for sure. He lost that leadership.

My point really wasn't to rag on Parcells. I was just pointing out how he preferred power over speed, and his weight program was built to build power. He really emphasised the weight training and loved size and power. That was just his philosophy on defense.

I can't see Parcells letting guys like Spears, Bradie, Ware, or Roy Williams getting away with being over weight or too heavy. I think he approved of the weights for the most part, imo. Even Jason Ferguson talked about the positives of playing lighter after Phillips arrived.
