Irving is there.

Are u sure? I haven't seen him at all.

You guys aren't being fair to Taco. He is a rookie in his first padded practice. If he was beating our OL I would be worried about the OL. He has won some battles and going against Tyron and Collins is making him much better. Remember Ware and rookie Tyron?

1st day of padded practice. Collins is a vet and has Zach Martin next to him. Collins played tackle at LSU and was considered a high draft pick before his off field stuff.

Nothing is more masculine than having a nipple ring.

There's a difference from getting beat and giving up TD's. Which is what Carroll did. Brown got beat once by Beasley for a 5-10 yard gain.

I counted in the videos that are in this thread three times that Brown got beat. Carroll got beat at least that many, but also stripped the ball away from a receiver. (I think it was Williams).

As I said, these drills favor the offense. The defender is on a one-on-one island. There's no scheming. It's simply him trying to match up with the receiver. Too many are jumping on Carroll for his failures in these drills, partly because that's what's being shown.

I'm not big on the player. I see him as a Carr type as far as his ability goes, and that's if he plays at his 2015 level instead of how he did in 2016, but jumping all over him for his failure in these drills isn't far. It's just fans seeing what they want to see.

Brown is a second year player still finding himself. Carroll is a seasoned vet who has never really been anything other than a mediocre CB at best.

It doesn't matter in these drills. Most of them are about your ability to match up man to man. DBs win some of those matchups, but they are put in a position that highly favors the receiver. That's one reason that receivers a lot of time look great in camp but disappear during the regular season.

Yeah, remember the "nipple ring" story?

When's the last time you saw a Dallas DB make 3 plays on the ball in one game, let alone one play!

He stinks.

Really wish Ware was there to start giving Taco tips

FIFY

 

[Denim Chicken]

Okay, Robert Griffin?

Too much of a distraction.

 

[Alexander]

That is pretty impressive.

He stinks.

Dak Prescott – The Cowboys’ starter looked sharp in his first padded practice of the year. Prescott threw over the middle of the field early and often, connecting with Terrance Williams and Brice Butler on several slant routes. He also picked up big-time yardage on a quarterback keeper that faked out the entire defense. Prescott went 11-of-15 on the day, and one of those incompletions was a drop by Williams on what would have been a big play.

I suppose that either Carroll gave up all those completions or the entire secondary stinks by your standard since they allowed Prescott to complete 73 percent of his passes.

Just looking at the compete period where Terrence Williams beat Carroll, it was followed by Heath being beaten by Hannah and Hitchens being beaten by Elliott. So all three stink since the offense was 100 percent against them.

The only secondary player, according to the clips, who didn't stink by your standard was Awusie because the only highlight we've got from camp of him is his interception. As far as plays made by the secondary, that's one of only two that I've seen from yesterday. The other? It was made by Carroll when he stripped the ball from Williams.

He is there. Broaddus' reports are not exactly glowing on him. He states that he is not looking as explosive as he was late last year and is having a tough time disengaging from blocks.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

My favorite draft pick. Should start week 1 IMO over Carroll.

Great... The player on DL, I was hoping to build on last year and improve...
