Yes, in a video with the sound muted.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Hitchens & Street are both good calls

 

[BigStar]

Anthony Hitchens.

Risen, you good

 

[BigStar]

Dixon at safety. Wouldn't be surprised to see him take Wilcox's starting spot sometime this season.

Then who takes over for Church?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Matt Johnson

I've said it alot this offseason, one of my favorite things about the Cowboys - one of the few things I tip my hat to Jerry the GM for - is that they seem to do a really good job of bringing in no-name guys that none of us have ever heard of and said player goes on to make the final 53 and be a significant contributor. So here's the question - who is your Dark Horse this year?

For me, I'm still pulling for L'Damian Washington. He has good speed and length, but his overall size is the hurdle he has to overcome.

If early reports are any indication RB Ben Malena

No. As in HECK NO. We dont. haaa!!! Darkhorse is Boyd, imo. I hear T. Mitchell is looking good too.

Uh, NO!

I think someone - probably Broaddus - mentioned that he was popping a bit in OTAs. Could probably be a guy who, if nothing else, replaces Heath on the roster.

It was Broaddus. He was mentioning him giving Johnson and Heath competition. Could have a shot if he gets the mental part down. He is physically as good or better than the pair of them I believe.

WR Tim Benford on O, DB Sterling Moore on D.

 

[Risen Star]

The lack of organizational depth tends to make it a lot easier for these no-name guys to find a role.

But then you have guys like Tony and Miles as well.

Or this as an alternative...

They all have decent measurables. Hamilton needs to gain some weight and get stronger. Heath's issues are all about developing skills and awareness. Johnson is all about just being on the field.

Devin Street is my choice, love the kid's game and hopefully him and Romo can get on the same page this upcoming season

 

[adbutcher]

Davon Coleman

ditto...

 

[silver]

Ben Malena

 

[Denim Chicken]

He's been on the team for a while, but James Hannah would be mine. I think he has all the physical tools to be legit receiving threat. I don't know whats holding him back.

They never gave him any opportunities to use his speed as a receiver last season. He was primarily a blocker which is obviously not his best attribute. When he did run routes they were short dump off types.

I agree with you....but that is so backwards from the way Jerry Jones has ran this organization of the last 20 yrs...the future is bright.
