Cowboys about to sign DE Jabari Fletcher and OG Dennis Godfrey. They're working out on field now.

I literally have never heard of either one of these guys. That is really odd...I have usually heard of one of them through the draft process or something.

Wow.

Wow.

Ditto. I was hoping someone else knew something about them.

 

[boozeman]

My Gawd.

Both of these two new guys are Arena Leaguers.

Must have been Will McClay's week to pick guys.

Two bad drops in a row. Miles on a slant. Harris on a hitch.

 

[boozeman]

I get we flushed the Clemson kicker and Monte Taylor, but it is like we went out of our way to get even shittier more nondescript players in to take their place.

WTF.

Dez comes back from 1v1: "They're holding me every time!" To which Mo responds "Every time Dez don't get it, it's something."

James Hanna working with first 12 grouping. Not Escobar

 

[boozeman]

Jabari Fletcher: 2011 - 71st rated out of 124 DEs on NFL Draft Scout.

Dennis Godfrey: 2012 - 157th out of 188 OGs on NFL Draft Scout.

Wow.

You have to put in the hours to find this special kind of shit unless they have been detailing your car or serving you fries.

God bless our pro personnel department. They leave no stone unturned, no turd unsniffed.

Practice starts w. s. teams work. Garrett told the non-teams guys to get busy w. their groups. "This is not a jack around period." #feisty

Damn, did he start channeling Bill Parcells or something?

Maybe the guy finally realized that his job status is directly affected by how the team performs and that it's time to stop trying to be everyone's friend.

Barry Church flattens Demarco Murray. Wow

Got our first bout of camp Ernie sims vs lance Dunbar. A few punches thrown and a flag by the back judge

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 2m
First fight of camp. Looks like the whole team. Even Romo wandered in there for a look. Didn't last long.

I have never got the impression that Garrett was trying to be everyone's friend.

Maybe their pet robot or something but never their friend.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Good.

Miles Austin unable to come down with deep throw from Romo. Stopped running.

____________________

More than one drop today, and the stopping running thing is alarming.

Dez having a pretty meh day. Just dropped a pretty fade down far sideline. He makes that like 99 of 100 times.

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 1m
Outmatched on size but Scandrick on Dez like glue down right sideline. Pbu. He is having a good camp.

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 3m
Pass skel now. Scandrick undercut a post on Dez and dropped a pretty easy pick. Missed opportunity.

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 8m
Dwayne Harris is best PR on the team, among the guys fielding them. Smooth when he catches them and looks calm. Beasley and Webb struggling

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 13m
Webb punt drop. Had to backtrack for a good one from Jones.

 

[Cotton]

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 1m
Sims physical pbu against Dunbar. Dunbar gives him a look. Durant puts a hand on Dunbar shoulder. Means 'don't go there.'

______________________________

Lots of attitude in this practice, it seems. I think that's a good thing.

He is a corner that has a place in this league but my god does he have terrible hands.

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 7m
Lee pick. Smooth catch. He has hands. Those ints are no accident.

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 8m
Romo gets delay of game and blames sun he can't see the play clock.

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 9m
Miles Austin ran his route short and romo pass falls incomplete.

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 19m
Romo with nice throw to Beasley who makes catch over the middle. Good protection

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 21m
Ware with good pressure as romo throws pass to Austin
