Twitter: Training Camp Practice Tweets - 08/24/2020

Brace yourself if it is the international rookie

Given his jump in experience and quality of play level? I can't see it. But I wish the tweet named the guy.

 

[bayeslife]

"rookie" LG option?

Tyler B. maybe? Not sure who else it would be.

Quick WR polling:

Do you see the Cowboys keeping 5 or 6 receivers this year?

And then, who ya got?

From what I've read (and if they can keep a 55-man roster), I'm still keeping 6:

1. Cooper
2. Gallup
3. Lamb
4. Wilson
5. Devin Smith
6. Ventell Bryant

That is pretty much who I have, though you know I am biased toward Noah Brown. But can't deny these are the top 6, in spite of my pet cat bias.

I agree with you about Smith and special teams.

And I had initially written him off with the team keeping just 5.

But then I read some very good recent reports and remembered about the expanded rosters too. And I think Smith brings the speed element that most of the other receivers don't.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

It wouldn't shock me if McCarthy has a plan for the guy, but if Wilson is playing as well as everyone makes him out, Smith might have a hard time seeing the field anyway. It'll be interesting to see how much sway Fassel has on the bottom of the roster, too. I don't think Smith's a bum, but his limitations and our depth with Lamb and the improvement of Wilson, might make it too hard to justify the roster spot.

Gearing up the 11 on 11 drills, tells me the season is getting closer and closer (though the calendar shows me that also).

I like Brown, too. The guy probably hasn't even peaked yet, he's only 24. But he wasn't too fast to begin with and has already had a bunch of leg injuries, so who knows?

Alcaron or whatever his name is maybe?

My deal with Wilson as well as Brown, with seem to be injury probe. But if Healthy at cut down day, I see Wilson on the team, I think Smith also. then depends on is they keep 6 WR's which I think they do. But biggest thing to not keep 6, is how many they keep on the DL & DB positions.

But I see the point, of Wilson or Smith, are they the same type of WR. Do you keep both, or a guy like Bryant or Brown. Brown mainly for his blocking, possession type player.

Saturday is going to feel like football season for the first time I think.

Here locally in Dallas channel 21 has a brand new Deep Blue piece on Percy Howard, then the cowboys scrimmage and then they are playing super bowl 12 vs the broncos after the scrimmage.

 

[GMO415]

Stand by EzE....this WCO will have catching a lot more passes.

 

[Batman1980]

Pollard is the back I want catching the ball in the open field, Elliott I only want to catch the ball in short yardage situations.

 

[Stash]

The past regime never properly utilized that part of his game.
I expect that to change.

When is the scrimmage. Is it this Saturday then? I have not looked it up. I like the Deep Blue series they do. They would have those before the preseason games as well.
I just watch SB VII on you tube a few weeks ago.

yes its saturday at 6.

Its also what he worked on all off-season so either he just really wanted to be on Dak's personal field or there's a lot of maturity showing through to work on what's a tweak in new offense.

 

[jazzcat22]

yes its saturday at 6.

Thanks.

And for those not in the DFW area, I am sure it will be shown on the DC website.
Possibly will be on You Tube at some point.

This one

Great minds think alike.

 

[MikeB80]

Stephen Jones is coming up on the fan in a minute. I am sure he will just give a generic statement on thomas but will be interesting to see what he says.

 

[Williamsboys]

I sure hope under MM the Cowboys have a much better special teams than in the recent past. We rarely get decent yardage on kick or punt returns.
