'Talking Cowboys' Practice notes

[Mr Cowboy]

BB tooks some snaps, Spencer returned, Kozier ran with the second team, Henry took the first team snaps at corner, Newman was working hard in the weight room.

Defense is practicing at a very high, uptempo like they did last week, but the offense looked lethargic like the have for the past 2-3 weeks.

Thanks, Mr. Cowboy.

Wade sounded like Spencer might be back. Even said that when he came back, he wouldn't be too limited due to conditioning. Getting him back would be absolutely huge. ray:

Spencer needed on "O"

After the defense did better once Henry left the game, why is he running with the first team?

You'd be surprised how quickly players get "well" when their position seems to be in jeopardy...

He makes some mistakes for sure. But he is also the most experienced CB on the team and the best one at creating turnovers. He's needed anyway as they will run 3 or more CBs at times.

And Spencer is really needed. When healthy he can be a force. I think he can near Ware in rushing the passer.

LOL.

With this coaches lack of faith in young players, I'm sure Henry will be right back in there getting beat by Plaxico and friends.

And Spencer is really needed. When healthy he can be a force. I think he can near Ware in rushing the passer.

Absolutely agree with you on Spencer. We need some more pass rush on the other side.

The words quick and Henry should never be used in the same sentence :laugh2:

Ellis is actually doing ok over there but I think Spencer can be a better rusher. He doesn't know the game like Ellis does but he is awful fast and has great size. They are going to have to get all three on the field.

I hate you are right about this.

at least Spencer can move well laterally

Ellis is a good pass-rusher, but it would be best served if he just was in on obvious passing downs

No, just some MOXIE!

Henry quickly fell behind the receiver running a go route.

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

heres to Spencer staying healthy now.ray:

 

[CrazyCowboy]

thanks for the info

Good to see the D working hard!

Folks, am I the only one that is getting less and less thrilled to get Anthony Spencer back? He has flashed yes- last year.

I've seen him do little to nothing since late last season, he's injury prone and hasn't the set the world on fire when he's been in there. That said (you're going to love this I know), Spencer should start from here on out, and Ellis needs to be a situational pass rusher. Greg's goose is about cooked as a pursuit linebacker/lineman.

Ellis looks awkward in space but he still gets the job done. I don't think Spencer is as complete a LB as Ellis is. And when I'm typing this I find myself wondering if I'm nuts because Ellis is very awkward looking out there. Watch him when you can in coverage and he gets the job done most of the time.

The ticket is to get the best pass rushers on the field at the same time. And Spencer, Ellis, Ratliff and Ware are the best pass rushers on the team IMO. That needs to happen more. JMO
