Training camp thread...

[Lotuseater]

It seems as if they are all fully on board the "gotta stack good days/get better everyday" train. I mean, they have truly embraced the Garrett mantra.

This team is going to be excellent. They have fully bought in to and rallied around Garrett and its going to show on the field.

Travis Frederick: It’s hard to point to any single play that a center makes in the course of a practice. Frederick has looked good in picking up the majority of his assignments without too many mistakes, but the thing that stands out is the comfort and command with which the rookie makes calls and runs the huddle. Maybe it’s the beard, but Frederick does not look like a player going through his first week of training camp when he rallies the offense, or when he talks about his work with Tony Romo after practice.

The scrimmage will be broadcast on the official site if anyone is interested.

What time? I don't see a link at DC.com.

This will be slow going for a bit. Regular practice for starters. Young guys will scrimmage later.

I have long thought that the line really struggled with a lack of leadership and/or smarts. I hope Frederick can help alleviate that.

Kosier was a hell of a signing. A guard who makes your line calls. Both those tackles (Free and Tyron) had their best years with him working next to them.

Guards usually have a long shelf life. Wish we could have found a Kosier type instead of schlubs like Livings or Bernie.

James Hanna doing resistance training. Sign he could be close to returning

The "QB" of the OL can make or break a line. It's good to hear he seems comfortable making the calls.

Romo offense comes off. Thanks to big run from Dunbar. Good work from Frederick and guards. Clean lane. Not a hand on him.

Tim MacMahon ‏@espn_macmahon 9m
Holding, Tyron Smith. Grabbed a fistful of DeMarcus Ware's jersey to let DeMarco Murray turn the corner.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 7m
Dez wants to be out there in team. Not happy.

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 6m
Ernie Sims with nice TFL on tanner run.

Tom Orsborn ‏@tom_orsborn 2m
Tyron Smith impressively holds DeMarcus Ware up in pass-rush drill. Still can't get over size of Smith's hands. Stopped Ware cold that time.

Tom Orsborn ‏@tom_orsborn 13s
Ben Bass, fresh off couple days of with sprained knee, just slipped past Doug Free in pass-rush drill.

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 53s
7 on 7. Dunbar creates separation from Johnson and Carter. That's not easy. Catches ball smoothly. Showing good hands every day.

Tim MacMahon ‏@espn_macmahon 2m
Tyron Smith is holding his own vs. DeMarcus Ware in pass-rush drills. Nate Livings really struggling. Just got put on butt by Landon Cohen.

 

[Cotton]

Nick Eatman ‏@nickeatman 21s
Travis Frederick has looked good so far . But he just got tossed by Jeris Pendleton and the held Landon Cohen on next play in blocking drill

Tom Orsborn ‏@tom_orsborn 20s
Now it's journeyman George Selvie besting Free.

Rowan Kavner ‏@KavnerDC 27s
Alex Tanney continues to show something at QB. Finds Jared Green in back of end zone on nice toe touch grab to end 7 on 7

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 37s
Second straight day Jared Green has has nice tightrope TD catch in back of end zone. Good throw by Alex Tanney

 

[Cotton]

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 13s
Dunbar doing it on ST too. Winning as the gunner in punt drill. He and Scandrick destroying rook Devin Smith.

Tons of good stuff being said about this Dunbar kid so far. I really hope he pans out. We need that good safety net behind Murray.

Tanney.... the new Romo.

 

[GShock]

Lulz, Witten wide open.

 

[Smitty]

Jerome Long, Nick Hayden, and Ben Bass I think will all end up on the team. Where does that put the DL depth chart?

Ware
Ratliff
Hatcher
Spencer

Bass
Wilber
Hayden
Lissemore
Long

That's 9?

Am I missing anyone?

 

[boozeman]

Tanney.... the new Romo.
