Sounds like Spencer will be taking it easy every time he breaks a nail this season.

The defense is always ahead of the offense at this time of camp. Once the pads come on and the guys have a few days under their belts you will see the difference. Not saying our o line is great by any means, but this is expected at this point in the camp, especially with the guards out.

I guess I'm an idiot, or just a had a two day brain fart....All these injuries (big or little) and we don't even have the pads on yet??? WTH

If he wants a big contract after this season, from anybody, he needs to have a big year. Playing ultra cautious might work for a 24 year old WR, but not for a DE that will be 30 in the offseason.

I don't get these fans, one minute they are screaming for the team to get younger, then the next they are getting mad because the team is not signing ageing vets who prety much only have name recognition. When the team signs these aging vets they scream "we need to let the younger guys plays and give them a chance" Such bi-polar fans, they just want to cry about something. This is truly damned if you do damned if you don't type situation.

As far as what the team is doing, I like it. They are giving the guys on the roster a chance to show up. If they don't show up, they will wait till final cuts and see what other teams have cut, they might find that solid vet who was cut in favor of a younger player, or that younger player who was good but just not quite good enough to make it on a deep roster. Kind of like how we got Lauren Robinson two years ago.

So all the people saying that DL should have been picked instead of Escobar when Crawford went down - what say you now??

Fo realz though - what the heck is wrong with the Cowboys conditioning program???

You do realize, don't you, that the old "strained hammy" is the time honored method for veterans to reduce their reps in the training camps... right?

Hahaha, I was waiting for someone to say that. Admittedly, I was notorious for this throughout my time playing ball... Hopefully these bumps are being overstated...

no words to describe this oline and the people who allow this year after year. it's truly shameful....especially when you consider who we're inducting into the hall in two weeks.

Cowboys going through team drills with no helmets. Kyle Orton wearing a hat, looking like Shane Falco from The Replacements.

Jason Garrett made 2-team run a drill again because jermey Parnell committed a false start.

Jason Garrett talks blue and makes backup offense repeat a rep because OT Darrion Weems didn't hustle through the end zone.

Travis Frederick ran a terrible 40 time, but he doesn't look slow pulling out in front of screens.

To speed things up, Callahan will call out, "Run play eight" and the QBs look at wristband and run "Play 8" at 3/4 speed
