• Defense is always looking for pressure and got it from an unlikely source. Stephen Paea was able to take advantage of Tyron Smith setting to far inside and was able to work around him on the outside, getting into Dak Prescott. With Paea near him, Prescott had to adjust his arm angle on his pass to Dez Bryant, which caused the ball to sail. Anthony Brown was in perfect position to intercept the errant pass and take it up the sideline and into the end zone...

Good to hear about Taco getting a good rush in. I think I know that move he's describing, it's that Rip/Grab move you can see here:

OXNARD, Calif. – The Cowboys are off on Friday, but hopefully this will tide you over while we wait to get back to work watching these practices.

Here are my top impressions from Thursday’s morning practice:

  Better day for Nolan Carroll overall after struggling in coverage on Wednesday. He was matched up with Dez Bryant during one-on-one right from the get-go and was up to the task. Bryant tried to take Carroll up the field, then worked hard to the inside. Carroll was ready for him and was able to undercut the route and knocked the ball away from Bryant with a fine play. Carroll lined up across from Bryant two other times in the period and was able to hold his own by denying him the ball on each of those opportunities.

Liked the Cooper mention, lose some athleticism, use your smarts and physicality to make it up.
