Ware is here -- but Burnett is not ready, Carpenter has finals, and Singleton is getting married.

Who the hell is playing OLB?

Good question. Maybe Ellis since he's the new Willie McGinest. ;)

Good question. Perhaps Ellis a little. Didn't the media ask Parcells if some of what Ellis was doing had to do with him not having his hand on the ground?

Maybe they're playin Akin over there some.

IOW... I don't have a clue. :laugh1:

I thought Akin at first -- but since he is switching positions, moving from outside to inside, that wouldn't make sense.

Carpenter makes the grade: Under league rules, first-round draft pick Bobby Carpenter is not supposed to be at the minicamp because Ohio State has not graduated, but the Cowboys received a letter from the school saying Carpenter had finished all of his tests and would graduate.

Had Carpenter not finished his schoolwork, he would not have been allowed to return to Valley Ranch until June 15.

That was from Archer's rundown.

Surprised to hear that Carpenter was at the minicamp. Naturally there was no media reporting about his presence or indeed much of any reporting on anything except TO. I'd like to know who was playing where, how well did they run, did Bledsoe threw or was a lot done by Romo & Henson?

Oh well at least we know TO caught all but one of the passes thrown to him and that Newman intercepted one. But we learned nothing about the other WRs, Lbs, OL. Media just makes we sick; I'd like to take over one of the Dallas papers and really provide sports coverage of the Cowboys. When I checked out DMN this morning, there were 3 articles on TO (2 by Mosley & 1 by the other guy) and 1 by JJT on Kosier. Enough is enough.

This is the kind of thing that would be in the media's interest to report.

Too bad they are busy making a big deal out of TO.

IMO, Ellis standing up is as big of a story as there is coming out of VR.

I heard Saldi got a interception from Henson that could've been ran back for a touchdown.:starspin

Bill Parcells won't release an official depth chart until right before the first preseason game, nearly 10 weeks away.

And at times during these mini-camps, as the Cowboys are going through this weekend out at Valley Ranch, it's hard to see through the extra players standing behind the play just who is lining up where.

But upon close inspection, the first-team offensive line, at least for now, is looking quite familiar to last year's. From left-to-right, the first-team during the first two days of the three-day mini-camp has consisted of Flozell Adams at tackle, Kyle Kosier at guard, Al Johnson at center, Marco Rivera at the right guard and Rob Pettiti at tackle. There was some question whether Pettiti would run with the first team or give way to veteran tackle Jason Fabini signed in the off-season. Fabini currently is working with the second-team line, followed by Marc Colombo.

Other notables on the second team offensive line are rookie Pat McQuistan at left tackle, Stephen Peterman at left guard, Andre Gurode at center and Cory Procter at right guard.

Defensively, working with the first team up front are Chris Canty, Jason Ferguson and Marcus Spears. The linebacking crew consisted of DeMarcus Ware and Rocky Boiman working outside, with Bradie James and the newly-acquired Akin Ayodele inside. Boiman, though, might give way to Al Singleton when he returns from getting married this weekend. Working behind Boiman is first-round draft choice Bobby Carpenter.

In the secondary, Keith Davis continues to work with the first team at free safety, while Willie Pile (free) and Justin Beriault (strong) are the second-teamers. Rookie Pat Watkins and Abram Elam came in next at safety.

And on the all-important nickel defense Ware and Greg Ellis worked at the ends, with Canty moving inside on the four-man front. James and Scott Shanle remained at linebacker, where they played last year. The defensive backfield remains unchanged from 2005, with Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry on the corners, Terence Newman in the slot and Davis and Roy Williams at safety.
