Byron Jones S
Jones has looked comfortable playing as the safety in this scheme. Overall coverage and range has been acceptable. He did struggle on a 1-on-1 route against Jason Witten with his positioning. He allowed Witten to separate from him and wasn't able to put himself in a position to drive back on the ball. He has been physical when it has come to sticking his nose in the action. He wants to be around the ball and in the pile. Shows a willingness to hit and go for the strip, and he works to create turnovers. He had an exceptional play on the goal line where he teamed with Derek Akunne to keep the ball out of the end zone. He was able to step up, then wrap up with some strength and leverage. Jones is also developing as a blitzer -- starting to see more of him being used that way. He was able to get home during the two-minute drill to force the ball out quickly by Dak Prescott. He appears to be gaining the trust of his teammates as well when it comes to his communication skills.
Jameill Showers QB
Not one of his better practices. Up until this point Showers has shown more good than bad. He had two really bad plays back-to-back where he had to eat the ball in 7-on-7 because the man coverage gave him problems on the read. Then the following play, he was too high to Geoff Swaim -- which resulted in an incompletion. His throw to Keith Smith during the goal line period was off target, which caused Smith to have to adjust in order to catch the ball. This allowed Kavon Frazier the opportunity to drive on Smith to keep him out of the end zone. It didn't help his cause that in the two-minute drill, he had a drop by Lucky Whitehead, and Brice Butler couldn't get inside on Deji Olatoye to complete the slant. With all his issues during this particular practice, I do like his willingness to attempt to make throws down the field, as well as his arm talent. His footwork has improved to allow him to make better throws from the pocket, especially his inside routes.
