Scout’s Notebook: Lineup Shuffles; More

[waving monkey]

FRISCO, Texas – One more day of practice before we go to Houston, one more notebook.

Here are some observations from what we saw Tuesday as the Cowboys went through their practice routine at The Star. Now, it’s worth pointing out: Thursday night’s game against the Texans is going to look a bit different from this. It’s unlikely we’ll see many starters on the field in Houston, but they got plenty of work Tuesday as they get ready for Week 1.

Here are my notes:

· If you’re curious how this defense would line up if Byron Jones went out of the lineup, it appears that Anthony Brown would take his spot at right cornerback and Jourdan Lewis would play in the slot if they went to their nickel package. With Jones on the field, Brown generally plays in the slot, so it’s interesting that the staff is playing him on the outside and Lewis playing inside.

Nothing on Rico?

I am sure much of this is conserving bodies for opening day, and just to get them prepared for Thursday night.
Won't read anything into it.

Zack Martin getting to the second level on blocks is music to my ears.
