Nate Newton is with the show again

Cole Beasley has really shown improvement, he is a real nightmare for the guys in TC this yr. seems to have found his comfort zone and taken it to another level.

Looks like this teams version of Wes Welker.

JG has sent the last 3 yrs with 2 things, keeping players safe and creating a competitive atmosphere. And thats seemed like a winning system.

Lucky Whitehead might be the guy this team carries as the 5th WR. He makes you watch him in open space and right now he is the probably the best punt returner and then doubles back as the gunner in punt coverage like Harris did.

Byron Jones is impressing the team with his coverages and has made plays against the top Wrs even Dez. Uses proper technique and proper use of his hands.

Gregory coming off the edge is wooo hoo. His play against the run needs work.

If Claiborne comes in and do what he has to do and is healthy he will be that CB in front of Byron Jones.

Theres more competition at Cb on this team then there has been for a long time.

Shouldnt be concerns on where Hitchens plays because he's already proved he can play wherever they put him. Doesnt matter because he's a smart player and he knows them all.

Weems seems to finally believing in what the team is telling him and teaching him. He's playing with a better base and stopped reaching for his man and messing with his balance.

Think La'el Collins should be getting reps at RT

You can keep Collins in the background and let him learn but how do you know how far he can go unless you push him.

You can see the rust coming off of Hardy. Doing incredible stuff out there.

McFadden is a few days away from getting back and McClain is a couple weeks away.

Reguarding McClain, when coaches usually give you a "a week or so" response basically because you never know with this guy.

Nate: i dont talk about guy because certain players you can just tell they arent dedicated to the game. Sean Lee is dedicated because by just looking in his eyes you can tell its killing him not being on the field. Certain guys you can tell theyre just having fun and not really putting in the work they should.

JG said they had to put a harness on Lee because the guy has been trying to get back out there.

Devin Street has done a nice job in Tc but his season needs to be the preseason and he needs to shine.

In this offense if your 2nd WR is getting what TW got last yr thats pretty strong.

Talked to Joseph Randle and told him to slow down, you have great vision use it and do what 25 is doing. Because right now he's beating you.

Nate Newton: on backup QB brandon weeden you need to step up because if the team has to go to the 3rd QB, season over
Kelsey: so you dont like Vaughn?
Nate: season over

QB situation should be, Romo, Weeden and somebody off the street

Nate refers to Zack Martin as The President of the United States lol

Season is over if they go to Weeden too. Should have grown a pair and told him that.

I love nate. Is it just me or is cowboys break a lot better than talkin cowboys? I prefer broaddus Derek and nick over all else by a lot. Mickey is annoying most of the time. He needs broaddus to level him out. Did mick and bryan have a falling out? Also wish Steve Dennis was still with DC

I dont like CB much. Those guys try to play GM too much. instead of reporting news like TC does they try to make a stroy by the scenarios they work on thru the week. Mickey is annoying but what i like about him is he keeps the show about the team, and what theyre doing instead of trying to conjure up scenarios on what theyd like the team to do that Cb does too much.

Nate being on TC is awsome too. Rob Phillips is suprisingly better in his comments than Broaddus. He seems to get along well with Nate too. Nates been giving him alot of good feedback on questions and answers he's been asking and giving.

We have the QB friendly offense with best WR and best OL and if the defense comes along as everyone is expecting to be, there is no reason for Weeden to lose games.
If he can't handle 2 to 3 games during the season, we are wasting time with him. I would have even tried Tim Tebow in this offense or some one else

Pretty much the opposite of what I've seen in other reports. I'm thankful for news but this is why i take things with a grain of salt until the season stars. It's impossible for fans to have a real good feel of a teams capabilities until about 3-4 real games into the season.

Rob Phillips is surprisingly good.
That's intended to be a backhanded compliment to Rob. Once Nate leaves the show I think it will be a lot more of Mickey to fill the time. I guess i was just used to the old lineups. Im not great with change. Also, what does taylor stern bring other than to fill a quota? Hard to follow someone as well rounded as Sydney Durso.

Thanks LM.

A lot to choose from but I'll pick this line about TWill because of all the unnecessary crap he took this off season in here.

Nate talks about why he says this. He says when you have Dez Murray and then Witten, TW was basically the 4th option. And says its not about the quantity of catches but the quality. And Tw had some huge catches last yr. References Alvin Harper and says his biggest season was 43 catches in Dallas. Ends it by saying if ur #2 gets 8TDs thats what you want.

Any way that we can afford both Crawford AND Hardy extensions?

TW doesn't put up the fantasy numbers other #2's do, so he's downgraded for that. Plus, there's that whole "doesn't catch with his hands" thing.

I'm not surprised by Newton's comments about Collins. Collins simply needs to get up to NFL speed. Collins-to-right tackle will eventually happen in my opinion--perhaps sooner than some believe.

And how.

He was on one of my fantasy teams last season and was very inconsistent. One week he'd rack up 18 points and the next two weeks... 4 points combined.
