  • I’m starting to see a little bit more of DeMarcus Lawrence in these practices at right defensive end. He had a really nice get-off and sack of Dak Prescott during the team period. Lawrence was able to grab the edge of Emmett Cleary quickly, then close the space with a direct path to Prescott, who was set up in the middle of the pocket. Lawrence was able to maintain the level of his rush, and, if in a game, he would have had a clean shot on the quarterback.
  • I ran’t remember a practice up until this point where Cole Beasley has had a drop -- which goes to show you how well he’s played. During the team period, the talented receiver was working his route from left to right and it appeared that it was one of those cases where he was trying to run with the ball before he actually had it in his hands. Dak Prescott put the ball where he needed to ahead of a driving Anthony Hitchens but Beasley couldn’t come up with it.
  • Chidobe Awuzie continues to play big in these practices. Andy Jones executed an out route to the sideline, but Awuzie was right there in step with him. Kellen Moore made the commitment to Jones and fired the ball outside to his left. Awuzie, playing over Jones’ left shoulder was in outstanding position to make a text book play with his off hand before Jones had a chance to extend his hands to secure the ball. This is an example of how Awuzie’s length will help him when dealing with these NFL receivers and tight ends while in coverage.

Thornton will be a key component in stopping the run and keeping blockers off the LBs.

Let's hope this continues during the season and hopefully the playoffs.

McClain, too.

Thornton and Paea are gonna need to step up.

McClain straight beasted at times last year. Was a somewhat big loss, perhaps our largest.

But I liked the Paea signing, so hopefully there isn't too much of a dropoff with your aforementioned Thornton and The Paea. :star:
