Some tidbits from the final practice on the west coast.

Break camp today. Back to practice in the Texas heat. Get them in shape and conditioned. Though may of practices will be behind closed doors where they install the real stuff.
No more vanilla TC stuff except for the last 2 PS games.

Pick 6 from Sam? Anyone have more details? In the backfield I’d guess? A tip?

Kneeland being asked to move inside a play or two sounds interesting.

It was a pass thrown to tolbert I think i saw. I was listening to the radio guys and they were saying how Dak didn't realize sam was dropping back in coverage, I think he and EZ dropped back in coverage

I think Kneeland is going to be a pretty good player. He's always played tough and has incredible arm length. He's more agile and has a better first step than I thought he would. I like what Dallas has at DE, and if Kneeland can get some reps at 1T they might have a pretty good rush this season.

Dak threw it right to him about six yards away. :facepalm

Maybe they're using him on offense too!

Yes, it will be nice to see what he can do this year.
He did have the sprained knee last year, or whatever his injury was.

But now he does not have DLaw here to stop any progress.

Kneeland, Williams (if they can get him disciplined on the stupid mistakes), EZE (if he is what they say he is from TC), Fowler.
And Micah if he decides to play. But Jerry just keeps spitting out ... he is under contract.....
Can be a very good to great pass rush rotation. Hopefully that allows more attention on them, and frees up other players.

Even without Micah, it doesn't look devastating. As they have Turner and Houston in the mix if they have even a little bit left to contribute. They still like Wheat as well. But someone will need to step up without Micah.

Dak’s form is really concerning. If he’s as bad as last season, this team isn’t winning more than 6 games.

Sounds more like desperation to me.

I'm a little dubious on a 270 lb DE taking on double teams at 1-tech, but we'll see I guess.

Maybe Thomas is not as good as they say. Need Guyton back in there.

Could be they want to rely upon his quickness, if he has any, to side step the OL and get into the backfield.
Not sure if that is part of the Eberflus defense from the past teams or not.
Just a thought. I do not know enough about all of that to say one way or the other.

I hope that it is part of a special rush package.

And not used in the base defense.

Kneeland at DT? I think Philly is is going to steamroller this DL week 1.

Interesting a lot of media n fans are overlooking Flournoy like he isn't making plays all the time too.

It's not like we haven't seen that before.

.....I saw that last year, until he got hurt towards end. Something good brewing with him.
