It just makes me think we're too complacent. Like all we have to do is get to the regular season healthy and we're golden because hey, we were 12-4 last year. What about actually improving?
It's not a good feeling, to be sure.

This combined with the fumble in the first game, and the muff earlier today really makes me want to push this kid to the side for a year.

I like that Martin flattened that little worthless use of a roster spot.

Garrett didn't have them ready for the opener last year either. There will need to be some pads popping pretty soon with the starters or they are going to look really silly come Giants game day.

In goal line compete drills... Terrance Williams loses to Byron Jones; Patmon (flagged) loses to Beasley; and Escobar beats Heath.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 2m2 minutes ago
Gavin Escobar has had two great leaping goal-line catches against good coverage.

Dan Turner ‏@dtsturner 2m2 minutes ago
Escobar beats Byron Jones twice in a row. Good battle between them, but Esco learning to use his body to keep DBs away

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 6m6 minutes ago
Romo with nice jumpball that Escobar brought down over top of Corey White in compete period. Romo liked the catch, pointed at 89 after play

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 9m9 minutes ago
Tyron Smith working with strength coach while O-line does drills against D-line

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 16m16 minutes ago
Rod Marinelli just used Randy Gregory as an example to the rest of the DL on how to use hands to fight blockers

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 20m20 minutes ago Oxnard, CA
No sign of Anthony Hitchens or Tyrone Crawford at practice today.

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 26m26 minutes ago
Tyrone Crawford also missing from practice. Unsure of what's wrong. Jack Crawford with starters.

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 33m33 minutes ago
Anthony Hitchens with day of rest with sore foot. Jasper Brinkley takes first team MLB snaps today

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 2h2 hours ago
Jason Garrett on Gavin Escobar: "I certainly have no regrets about us drafting him." http://share.d-news.co/ibN5iEC

Birddog26 ‏@Birddog26 3h3 hours ago
When Cowboys picked up White I said Ryan screwed the pooch with this kid. Load him and Jones up with snaps and watch them get better

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 9m9 minutes ago
Doug Free working in team drills. Darrion Weems working with ones at LT

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3 9m9 minutes ago

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 8m8 minutes ago
RBs in team drills: First team: Randle Second team: Malena Third team: Hill

Dan Turner ‏@dtsturner 5m5 minutes ago
Joe Randle is exceptionally explosive as a runner. There's virtually no time in between him finding a crease, and him at the 2nd level

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 6m6 minutes ago
First team LBs in team drills: Damien Wilson, Jasper Brinkley, Andrew Gachkar. Nickel: Wilson and Gachkar

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 4m4 minutes ago
WR Deontay Greenberry, DT Tyrone Crawford and LB Anthony Hitchens not practicing today.

Lindsay Draper ‏@LindsCashDraper
For what it's worth... On just his 2nd practice back, Darren McFadden's quickness/foot speed is a spectacle

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 1m1 minute ago Ventura, CA
Field goal team working on a fake. Chris Jones rolled out for a pass to Witten. Incomplete.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 1m1 minute ago
Cowboys fake FG, but punter Chris Jones threw behind Jason Witten

For those of you asking. Everyday that there is a padded practice there will be a Training Camp LIVE posted afterwards.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 4m4 minutes ago
Devin Street went down and got up slow. He is limping.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 4m4 minutes ago
Tony Romo over throws Lance Dunbar deep down right sideline in 7-on-7 drills. Dunbar was open behind Church.

Drew Davison ‏@drewdavison 4m4 minutes ago
Byron Jones having his left wrist looked at, exits field with trainers.

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 4m4 minutes ago Oxnard, CA
Big, big collision between Claiborne and Byron in traffic in 7on7. Jones went down hard, walked off with trainers. He looks pretty shaken.

Dan Turner ‏@dtsturner 4m4 minutes ago
La'el Collins handles Ryan Russell, and then throws him to the ground

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 4m4 minutes ago
Byron Jones up slow after blindside collision with Mo Claiborne. Looking at left shoulder

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 4m4 minutes ago
Byron Jones heading to the locker room

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 4m4 minutes ago Oxnard, CA
No way of knowing what the deal is with Byron for now. He walked off under his own power with a team doctor. His day is done.

Carr and Scandrick also are out so the Cowboys are thin at the position.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 4m4 minutes ago
Hard to tell if it's a shoulder or arm injury for Byron Jones. Stayed on ground for a little bit. Fans groaned as he was slowly helped off

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 4m4 minutes ago Oxnard, CA
Given the injuries at corner, the top two CBs for the rest of today are Mo and Patmon.

Dan Turner ‏@dtsturner 3m3 minutes ago
Greg Hardy vs Travis Frederick. Not sure who wins this

La'el Collins throws Russell to the ground for a 2nd time. He has no chill.

Jack Crawford gets some movement on Zack Martin, but ultimately loses (as everyone does who goes vs Martin)

Babe Laufenberg ‏@BabeLaufenberg 7m7 minutes ago
Not what Cowboys fans wanted to see Byron Jones just left for locker room examine. Apparent shoulder injury

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 3m3 minutes ago
Head athletic trainer Jim Mauer and Dr. Cooper are back on the field now but CB Byron Jones stayed in locker room.

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 3m3 minutes ago Ventura, CA
David Porter has made at least two really nice catches during his 90 minutes with the team.

Laurence Gibson gets his hands on Lavar Edwards and drives him about 5 yards baclwards. Some much needed encouragement for #67

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 3m3 minutes ago
Cowboys rookie OT Laurence Gibson just drove DE Lavar Edwards back more than 5 yards in 1-on-1 compete drill in front of teammates.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 3m3 minutes ago
Laurence Gibson just killed Lavar Edwards in a one-on-one drill. Pushed him back 10 yards.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 4m4 minutes ago
Laurence Gibson with maybe his best play of camp, won in compete period vs. Lavar Edwards. About as fired up as I've seen Tony Romo

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 3m3 minutes ago
Cowboys RB Joseph Randle with long run through big hole on right side.

Pat Doney ‏@PatDoneyNBC5 2m2 minutes ago
Joe Randle just did a nice job picking up a blitzing LB. Allowed Romo to complete the pass for a long gain.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 4s4 seconds ago
Nick Harwell with a nice deep ball from Weeden. Beat Brandon Smith.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 57s57 seconds ago
Perfect deep ball from Brandon Weeden to Nick Harwell

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 1m1 minute ago
Cowboys WR Nick Harwell just beat CB Brandon Smith for TD on go route down left sideline. Perfect touch pass by Brandon Weeden.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 1m1 minute ago
Judging by the loud profanity, I am guessing Rod Marinelli is not happy with his defense.

Rod Marinelli not happy with rookie DE Ryan Russell, yelling from sideline "that's f-ing horsesh**" and that's so "soft."

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 7m7 minutes ago
Ross and Patmon are CBs with Morris Claiborne.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 7m7 minutes ago
Marinelli: "Hey, 99, that's f----- horse sh--!" Crowd erupts in laughter. Rod still getting into him, 5 minutes later

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus 7m7 minutes ago
Mo whacked him pretty good. If he has an issue its with his left shoulder but nothing official.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 6m6 minutes ago
Romo perfect pass to Devin Street on slant for TD in front of CB Mo Claiborne. Jason Witten yells, "All day, baby!"

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 7m7 minutes ago Ventura, CA
Devin Street is keeping it rolling after that game on Thursday. Two really strong days, highlighted by an acrobatic TD over Claiborne.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 5m5 minutes ago
CB Brandon Smith can't hold onto possible interception at goal line in front of WR Nick Harwell. Rod Marinelli yells, "Make the catch!"

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 4m4 minutes ago
Former Cowboys DL La'Roi Glover, who now is with the Rams, is here checking out the facility.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 4m4 minutes ago
Jeff Heath gets in Tyler Clutts face after hard hit. Scuffle breaks out

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 4m4 minutes ago Ventura, CA
Annnnndddd a fight. Started with Heath and Ckutts. Dunbar got involved. Zack Martin came in and pancaked Heath. Tempers flaring.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 4m4 minutes ago
Fight between Cowboys here between Jeff Heath and Tyler Clutts. Dunbar involved with no helmet. Zack Martin levels Kyle Wilber from side.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 5m5 minutes ago
Good skirmish. Frederick knocked to the ground. Dunbar in it without a helmet.

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 5m5 minutes ago
What started earlier boiled over later - Tyler Clutts and Jeff Heath in a beef that escalated quickly.

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 5m5 minutes ago
after the fight, Weeden finds Whitehead. https://vine.co/v/eprwFt6WEvn

If the Byron Jones injury is bad, we are fucked in our secondary. It's that simple.
I don't think so cause he's being wasted at CB anyhow. Let him rehab and then come back to take the job from one of our shitty safeties.

Clutts didn't like how he was hit by 3 defensive players and eventually knocked to the ground. Heath was in face of Clutts when it started.

David Moore ‏@DavidMooreDMN 15m15 minutes ago
Concerned about fight between Cowboys & Rams next 2 days? Tyler Clutts & Jeff Heath just went after each other in Cowboy on Cowboy crime.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 15m15 minutes ago
WR Lucky Whitehead drops potential TD on slant in heavy traffic in team drills.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 14m14 minutes ago
Tyler Clutts likes to deliver big blows. Defense knows it. Blasts him every chance they get

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3 14m14 minutes ago
Escobar has owned the red zone today, in individual and team.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 13m13 minutes ago
Escobar just got called for a push off. "That's the only way y'all get open!" He said.

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 13m13 minutes ago Ventura, CA
Someone needs to tell Terrance Williams to strap his helmet better. It comes off every time he's involved in a contested catch.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 13m13 minutes ago
Gavin Escobar catches TD on fade but called for push-off. CB Tyler Patmon on other side of field: "That's the only way y'all get open!"

Dan Turner ‏@dtsturner 13m13 minutes ago
Randy Gregory gets past Darrion Weems, Romo steps up beautifully to avoid the sack. Puts it up for T-Will, who drops a bard chance

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 13m13 minutes ago
Gavin Escobar catches TD, but called for pushing off Barry Church. Rolando McClain: "We finally got a call!"

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 14m14 minutes ago
Terrance Williams slow to get up after not coming down with high pass in back of end zone, losing his helmet in process.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 13m13 minutes ago
Next pass Lucky Whitehead with TD catch on right side.

Jerry Jones expects Dez Bryant to return after the SF game.

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 2m2 minutes ago
DT Tyrone Crawford said he didn't practice because of a tight back. LB Anthony Hitchens didn't practice because of a foot injury.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 1m1 minute ago
Jerry Jones asked to compare Greg Hardy and Charles Haley: "He's not the SOB Charles was."

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 1m1 minute ago Oxnard, CA
Jerry: "More than likely" that Tyron Smith won't be back until after the Cowboys play the Niners.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 1m1 minute ago
Jerry Jones says Tyron Smith's biceps will keep him out until after SF game.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 55s55 seconds ago
Jerry Jones: Byron Jones shoulder is not as bad as it could've been. Shouldn't be out long

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 48s48 seconds ago Oxnard, CA
Jerry on Byron. Said it wasn't as bad as it could've been. He'll probably need some time, but not a long time. Sounds doubtful for SF.

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillips3 1m1 minute ago
Rob Phillips retweeted daniel buchanan
Jerry Jones said he's been told Byron could be out a few days but should be OK. Could've been worse.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 1m1 minute ago
Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, Byron Jones not expected to be back until after the San Francisco game

Garrett needs to remind these players that they can't make the club in the tub.

sounds like we dodged a bullet with our first round pick. I don't think Jones contributes as much as Gregory/Wilson/Collins but I do think in a couple years if he gets the experience he can be a very good CB/S

How?

At this point it seems pretty clear that he won't be starting at safety. Unless something happens to Carr or Scandrick he looks like his role will be nickel CB and some type of hybrid match-up for TE's in the dime where he lines up almost as a LB.

He seems like a guy who will get plenty of snaps and play a role but he is obviously not going to start unless something happens, and even if he's hurt I'm sure we could get by with the depth we seem to have in White and Patmon. Hell, it seems like a guy like White can play most of the roles we have in mind for Jones.
