Bush is a pretty decent player. Techs defense went from terrible to horrific when he went down last year.

Sounds like he's an undersized quick off the snap type, is that about accurate?

Pretty much. Kid will hustle his ass off too.

He's built like Freeney.

 

[Cotton]

Yeah, Bush is fun to watch.

Yeah, Bush is fun to watch.

I love to go hard with Bush.

I love to go hard with Bush.

If you watch Golden Cock playing with Bush, you're a little bit gay.

Scout’s Notebook: 11 Noticeable Things From Camp

Posted 2 hours ago

Bryan BroaddusFootball Analyst/Scout

OXNARD, Calif. – With a walk-through practice and a regular practice going on each day, there are plenty of things to catch your eye.

Here are nearly a dozen things that have caught my attention here through the first week of practices.

• The depth at receivers is better than I thought it was coming into camp.

• With age, Jason Witten has improved as a point of attack blocker in the running game.

• DeMarco Murray physically looks in better shape than he has at any point of his Cowboys career.

• Barry Church has a better feel for how he needs to play in coverage. He was a clutch and grab guy but now he is playing with better angles and it’s helping with his positioning in routes.

• When it comes to pressure from the secondary on the blitz, Orlando Scandrick is going to get more opportunities to show how well he can do it.

• Rolando McClain is super aggressive chasing the run to the outside, so much so he tends to overrun the play. I guarantee that Matt Eberflus is correcting as we speak.

• Doug Free has been really good with his hands. When he is off with his technique, this is usually the area of problem.

• Dwayne Harris deserves more offensive snaps.

• Ken Bishop is a powerful man at defensive tackle but I haven’t seen that explosive quickness that I had on tape at Northern Illinois. Know he can play this way.

• No safety has stood up and tried to take this job away from JJ Wilcox opposite Barry Church.

• Henry Melton has no fun when he works against Zack Martin.

So...per Broaddus, we are like pretty much awesome all over the roster.

Well, of course.

Except for on the DL. We suck there with a rookie mauling our stud DT.
