Practices-marshmellow, par for the course or other?

[yimyammer]

I keep reading in various places that our practices are soft, we don't tackle, etc.

Has anyone here ever actually witnessed the practices from the Parcells era as well as this years camp? If so, how have they changed (if at all)?

Has anyone witnessed Cowboys camps as well as other teams camps? If so, what's the difference?

I'd really like to know specifically what we are doing or not doing other teams are/aren't.

Are we the only team that doesn't tackle in practice? Is it even true we don't tackle in practice?

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether any of the hand-wringing is justified and if our practices are significantly different from other teams and if so, how.

Meh, sorry for the rambling 20 questions, hopefully you folks can figure out what I'm after here.

Many observers on Dallas sports radio have said the only difference is that Parcells did live goal line drills, and Wade doesn't. That's it.

Todd Archer has insisted that this camp is just like that of other teams he's covered.

according to Nate, all teams are not tackling in practice

I'd still like to get more verification of whether this is true

I saw Brian Westbrook on ESPN say the Eagles are the only team that tackles to the ground during camp and he didn't like it but that's the way Reed wants it.

Does it matter?

We didn't tackle last year in pre-season, and we went 3-1

so why would it matter this year?

I didin't say it mattered, I was merely asking a question
