Seems like we've had 3 balls already tipped for an interception ... Hopefully it's not like that during the season, though good play by the defense.

for now. top 3 guards have yet to practice. really think the OL will be Tyron, Livings, Fred, Leary, Free when all is said and done

We need to get them healthy. Fast. As for the starting five, I feel the same but I think Parnell might win the starting job at RT due to high upside.

3 thoughts: 1) I said TWILL would have to learn to catch in the NFL when we drafted him. He caught the ball to close to his body all they way through college. Can't do that up here. 2) How many OL and DL did we draft or sign in free agency? Are we really surprised after two days? 3) Why isn't there live video of camp?

OL definitely off to a slow start....was hoping Parnell would at least push Free but doesn't sound like that is the case thus far, without pads.

Wish they would indicate who was in at a given spot on the plays where the OL is getting smacked. I assume it is Free, Arkin, Frederick, Kowalski and Smith. Sounds like Smith has his hands full with Ware. Haven't heard much good or bad in regard to Free. Have heard nothing good about Arkin and Kowalski. Frederick some good and some bad.

Don't want to get too worked up about OL...a lot of moving parts and likely at least 2 guys that won't be starting unless the injuries persist. They are also trying to implement the zone blocking so it is going to have some bad days.

Hoping Leary and Livings can get in there soon as well as Bernadeau. If line doesn't start to gel after a couple weeks, wonder how long before they panic.

The Twill dropping a pass is a bit over blown. In team drills he had the one drop in position drills he was catching the ball away from his body with no issues. It did seem that our WR had a case of the drops today outside of Dez and Cole. I'm not worried about Twill he will be just fine.

Tanney kid has a nice are very comfortable with his ball placement throws a pretty ball. I can see him being the next romo.

Free was moving very fluid today so I expect him to win the job. He seemed very confident.

I saw Church down in the box WA has some ball skills. Really like JJ Wilcox as well he is fast and seems to be able to recognize the play pretty quick.

I think Costa will be a starter on the line either at OH or OC along with Fred.

Dunbar is fast!!!

Witten always seems to be the one once the whistle blows to run to team drills. Sense of urgency.

Wilbur is really developing nicely I think he makes an impact.

I really like the makeup of this coaching staff. The are all over the field and really coaching these players up.

I was going to say, the thing that has changed is the attacking defense...so this is a good thing.

  1. Nick Eatman ‏@nickeatman13m
    Miles Austin doesn't fight for the ball = pick.. Terrence williams with a drop.. So romo just goes to witten next = 50 yard gain ..

    TWill drops a short route and the crowd is bummed. Romo finds 82 for ~20 on the next play. Hope restored
So was it 20 yards or 50?

There's no tackling in drills, they just run down the field after catching it. I would assume he caught a 20 yard pass and then ran 30 more yards.

I hate to be Chicken Little, but these reports on the Oline are worrisome, though not shocking to any reasonable-minded person. Is hoping for improvement pitifully naive given past disappointments?
