Is that legal?

Three career tackles for Gibson? Think we found a gem, fellas.

I remember the year Gibson came out. In the spring prior to his senior season he was regarded as a potential first round pick, but dropped like a rock by the next April. A lot like Selvie.

Is that legal?

I'm not sure. I don't think it is.

Terrance Williams dislocated his finger, but it sounds like he is fine and back in there.

So, he can't block or get open? Fantastic.

Bumping official aside, feisty Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick has had strong off season and strong camp

Nickel cornerback Orlando Scandrick garnered the wrong kind of attention earlier this week when he was kicked out of practice for bumping an official.

But the Cowboys aren't letting the unfortunate incident overshadow what has been very strong training camp from the sixth-year cornerback _ so much so that any thoughts of rookie fourth-round pick B.W. Webb challenging Scandrick for his job as the nickel cornerback have been erased.

"Very good, very good, coming to work every day, competing hard, playing both inside and outside," coach Jason Garrett said when asked about Scandrick's play in camp. "The mind set is really good. He is one of the guys what won one of your off season awards. So his commitment in the off season has been outstanding. His mindset in camp has been really good."

Garrett said Scandrick won an award from the strength and conditioning coaches in the off season because of the gains he made in the weight room from last season and throughout the spring.

It's all a testament to Scandrick’s competitive nature and feisty personality that the Cowboys have liked since their drafted him in the fifth round out of Boise State in 2008.

"I love him," Garrett said. "He is a fighter. He is a competitor. He has been that way since minute one. That's one of the things that attracted him to us. That's what we loved about him right from the start. He has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. That is a good thing. That is the way he plays. He has always played that way."

I won't spam with more tweets, but all are reporting that Parnell is having a great day.

•Having worked in this league for a number of years, I fully understand how injury can take its toll on your squad during these training camp practices but I have to admit as disappointed that Jay Ratliff and Anthony Spencer have missed the majority of these practices, the injury to Morris Claiborne might be the one that has me struggling the most. I am not here to blast Claiborne for not being on the field because he more than showed his toughness last season fighting through all kinds of issues but with the new scheme and missing the adjustments in it through practices and preseason games just bothers me. If Claiborne was a nine year veteran and dealing with the constant wear and tear that players go through, I would totally understand but he is just in his second season and for some reason that just doesn't seem right. I hope I am wrong about that.

Sounds like Broaddus is calling Claiborne a pussy.

Don't want to judge a player this early in his career but that is looking like an all-timer of a bust at this point.
