Zoners,

I don't want to report to you on the obvious players Dez, Romo, Ware, Rat, Witten etc.....as we all know how great they are doing.

I want to concentrate on the new players who might make this roster. Here is what I have observed personally up through last nights training camp action in S.A.:starspin

Here are the young player who have gotten my attention and why:

1. 34 Tanner, Phillip RB 6-0 214 R Middle Tennessee St keeps making plays. He is built like a pit bull dog and he hits the hole with a purpose. No hesitation on his cuts. Football speed regardless of his 40 time, he seems to barely beat the defender to the spot. His hands seem soft and he can really catch the football with confindence. Prediction: He will make out team

2. 42 Church, Barry S 6-2 219 2 Toledo has shown a great amount of improvement over the past year. He must really be studying the Rex Ryan playbook. Rex keeps calling him over and giving him positive feedback. I am just a little concerned if he can have enough speed to cover the deep passes, however, I have seen enough to know he will hit you hard and plug the hole in the run defense. Prediction 3rd Saftey spot and good ST player.

3. 54 Cummings, Kenwin LB 6-3 247 3 Wingate has really caught my eye the past week. Ok, now that you are done laughing......I know that he goes up against 2nd/3rd teamers, but he constantly blows up the play big time. I keep waiting on a coach to brag on him or a reporter and nothing materializes. Therefore, I will start a positive on the guy. He can play. Prediction: I don't really know but I am going to keep watching #54. He is earning his training camp money and one of our coaches has to notice.

4. 84 Poots, Tysson WR 6-2 214 R Southern Utah made two very impressive grabs last night. I only mention this because of the abuse he has taken in the Cowboyzone in regards to his last name and the rough start he had at his 1st few days of camp. I believe he has some talent and can see why we signed him, however my Prediction: Wavier Wire.

5. 86 Radway, Raymond WR 6-3 193 R Abilene Christian I continue to enjoy watching this guy play football. He has caught my eye with his toughness over the middle catches; soft hands; long tall body type; smooth fluid stride; jumping ability; basically, he is a poor mans Dez Bryant....ok, maybe I went over board just a little however my Prediction: He will be our 4th WR and could push Olgetree Zoners.

6. 92 Brent, Josh DT 6-2 318 2 Illinois is a STUD in the making. He makes plays all accross the line. He is strong as an Ox in heat. He clogs up the middle on double teams, swim moves, he is causing problems for each OL that tries to block #92 and that is a fact jack. Prediction: part time starter and Rex loves him which will help!

Ok, these are the young/new players who have impressed me........Go Cowboys!
 
Good stuff! I keep reading encouraging stuff about Radway, looking forward to seeing him in preseason games...
 
Thank you my Friend has any of the new corners looked like NFL players
 
Thanks for the update, Crazy. It's nice to have some idea on these new guys when you watch preseason games.
 
Thanks for the report.

Though there are two guys I'm interested in hearing more about that weren't listed.

Jermey Parnell (OT) and Lyle Leong (WR)

The only corner Vet/new who has consistantly played good is #32, Scandrick. He is really quick, reads the run fast and reacts to the ball carrier.

Jenkins has some really exciting play with an int or knock a pass down one min, then turn around the next few plays and have a mental let down and give up a play. Jenkins seems to play better when he sees Dez lined up accross from him.....seems the better the player the better he focuses or something which cannot be good. I still have high hopes for our former #1 pk.

ok, I will give you what I have seen just as a fan not an expert by any means:

13 Leong, Lyle WR 6-1 175 R Texas Tech seems very quick. I just think he looks weak. When in traffic he will make the tough catch and immediately hit the ground. Not much Run After the Catch (RAC) ability and that is important to me when I am looking for new talent at Wf. He does show confidence and talent....I will give him that. I just believe he needs a year in the weight room more then anything.

78 Parnell, Jermey OT 6-6 306 2 Mississippi has a better chance to make the practice squad imho. He is strong and during pass rushing drills he is not intimidated when Rat is lined up accross from him. What impressed me the most about him is I remember 2 times after practice he stayed for extra drills and worked on his technique. That shows a great attitude.
 
I was wondering if you were going to be at the TC. Thanks for the update Crazy.

Excellent. These two guys are my pet cats this year.

Thanks CrazyCowboy!
 
Wow, so Radway is looking that good huh? You have him over Dwayne Harris and Jesse Holley? I've heard good things about Harris as well and thought he looked really good on the videos I've watched thus far. I also have Holley making our roster as the 5th WR based on his ST play, which will be all the more important since we lost Hurd.

It's really good to hear that we have some quality competition even at the bottom of our WR corps...thanks for offering your insight and observations!

Thanks Crazy. Josh will be a difference maker and the league won't see him coming. I can't wait until he feasts on Philthy's OLine.

Guess you did not get a chance to read my first reports which I was impressed with Harris and his toughness, hands and speed. I still am impressed with him and believe he will make our team and fight for playing time. It is just he has tailed off just a little and Radway has consistantly keeps making eye popping plays....when sitting it the stands he just keeps doing positive things, however, I still like Harris a lot.

Dez, Austin, Olgletree, Radway, Harris is how I rate them today.....these are the 5 I like for our roster today.
