Ok, so let me rephrase that - he needs to stop toeing the company line of positivity.
He needs to be more honest about the players' performance both individually and collectively.
The Jones' will never do it, so he has to. I hope this is a sign that he's starting to do that.

Word is that Tyler Eifert is looking incredible for the Bengals.
I'm 90% sure we could have had him and Frederick if we would have just stayed where we were in the first round.
Instead we have Escobar who looks like a grade D JAG right now.

First fight of camp: Dunbar says he got slung to the ground one time too many. 'I've been letting it slide'
After more than two weeks, the first fight of camp broke out.
Running back Lance Dunbar didn’t like the way linebacker Ernie Sims slung him to the ground, and everybody rushed into separate them.
“I was trying to finish my run, and he slung me down,” Dunbar said. “It’s been happening all camp. I’ve been letting it slide.”
And it took this long to get worked up?
“Yeah. I don’t have a temper,” Dunbar said. “It takes a lot to push me, to get me going. But when I’m mad, I’ll stand up for myself.”

He was never anywhere close to what Fatty was doing when he was here.

Or maybe not. A quick google search reveals other sources posting it.
That would be great news.
Leary - Frederick - Moore could be halfway competent.

Cowboys practice report: Day 12
August, 6, 2013
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com
OXNARD, Calif. -- The 12th practice of training camp had a fight, some hard hitting, drops by Eric Rogers and a busy day for corner Orlando Scandrick.
*The first fight of training camp occurred when running back Lance Dunbar got into it with linebacker Ernie Sims on a run play. There were a few punches thrown during the scrum and the back judge threw a flag. Defensive end DeMarcus Ware, who wasn't involved in the play ran onto the field and picked the ball up only to be chased by wide receiver Anthony Armstrong. There were no near skirmish the rest of the practice, just hard hits like the one safety Barry Church laid on DeMarco Murray going up the middle.
*Receiver Eric Rogers has struggled after a strong first week of camp. He had two drops, including one on a slant. Coach Jason Garrett talked about the younger players needing to make more plays and adjust to the NFL game. Rogers dropping passes isn't about the NFL game, it's more about making plays.
*Miles Austin made some nice catches but he ran in a different direction of a route inside the 20 when he was running toward the end zone and Tony Romo threw a pass as if he was going across the middle. Romo then threw a deep ball to Austin down the sidelines but the receiver stopped running and misjudged the ball in the air and dropped it.
*The defense was unreal on Tuesday. Sean Lee picked off a Romo pass, DeMarcus Ware had a sack and a tackle for loss, George Selvie had a tackle for loss and Scandrick and Sims did a nice job with some pass breakups.
*Scandrick had a busy afternoon. He should have picked off a Romo pass in seven-on-seven, but dropped it. Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin threw his hat down and put his hands on top of his head after the play. Scandrick almost got a pass breakup on a pass directed to Jason Witten but Romo was able to complete it. Yet, Scandrick rebounded and was able to deflect a pass away from Dez Bryant on a deep ball. Scandrick later broke up a screen pass.
*Rookie running back Kendial Lawrence had one of his best runs in camp as he sprinted through the middle of the defense for a long gain.
*During the one-on-one passing drills, the receivers had five drops.
*Mackenzy Bernadeau moved into the first-team offense at right guard. With Brandon Carr out because his fiancee had a baby, Scandrick worked with the first-team. Cowboys continue to mix and match the first-team defensive lines with Sean Lissemore and Nick Hayden getting time at defensive tackle. Selvie moved up the depth chart as second-team defensive end.
*Interesting play call in the two-minute drill with new playcaller Bill Callahan. Faced with a third and one the Cowboys offense was called for offsides. Now with a third-and-six, Callahan called for a pitch play to Dunbar who picked up four yards running left. Would Garrett have called for a pass play?
*Receiver Cole Beasley converted a fourth down play with a catch and run on a nice throw from Nick Stephens.
*The practice ended when Stephens threw an incomplete pass to Anthony Amos.
*Cowboys signed defensive end Jabari Fletcher and guard Dennis Godfrey. Punter Spencer Benton and defensive end Monte Taylor were released.
*Latin music group The Los Lonely Boys and actor Dennis Haskins attended practice.

And if he had, would the pass play have worked, unlike the run play which did not in fact pick up the first down?

Not for me. This two TE madness is over the top.

Looking incredible in one week of practice without even a preseason game under his belt does nothing for me. Hell, Selvie has been incredible and I still know he sucks balls.
