Some note from todays practice. Of particular note to me is talk of just how physical the defense is practicing. It is music to my ears as an ex safety/LB.
Here’s what they say about him:

Also, I liked reading about DaRon Bland. Several times already, we’ve heard about him playing well, even as early as it is. Jourdan Lewis in particular said he’s going to make the team and help out right away… or something to that effect.
- Things got a bit chippy on Tuesday, with the defense attempting to set the tone on more than one occasion. From running back Malik Davis and the offense (including Dak Prescott) taking exception to a Davis handoff that saw his defender get very physical in taking him to the ground out of back, to safety Tyler Coyle knifing through traffic at full speed to lay a hit on Rico Dowdle that sounded like a sonic boom - followed by Coyle standing over Dowdle in taunting fashion -- the Cowboys defense looks to be preparing for the season with a very sizable chip on their shoulder. Davis came back a few plays later to lower the shoulder on Coyle in one of the most physical runs of camp with both players going to the ground.
Here’s what they say about him:

- DaRon Bland continues to play above his current level of notoriety, which is to say he's one you should keep an eye on. The rookie fifth-round pick has done a really good job at whatever receiver assignment he's been given, from slot coverage to popping outside for X and Y coverage duties, routinely blanketing whichever wideout is in front of him - often forcing the quarterback to move on in the read progression. A former First-Team all-conference player, Bland is quickly catching the eye of the defensive staff.
