Training camp thread...

Ben Bass jumps offsides on first team rep. Whole starting D gets replaced.
 
:lol

Funny how Miles Austin's exploding hamstrings are fine but everyone else are straining theirs left and right.

DeMarcus Ware jumps offside. Starting D still hasn't gotten a team rep.

I don't know how much this group is going dislike not getting reps in training camp, but at least something is being done. Both units make way too many mistakes and way too many mental errors.

This may not work, but it's nice to see that there's a real effort being made to fix the mistakes and penalties.

As great as both guys are, Witten's false starts and Ware's offsides have killed or extended drives and it's things like that that have to stop.

Not supposed to be tackling, but JJ Wilcox just unloaded on Phillip Tanner. It was 20 yards downfield at end of nice run.
 
We have to keep in mind that Garrett wasn't doing this before now so we can't even legitimately point to this as a reason he's better than Wade. This is new.

He's done a lot of things like this that are different than Wade, such as putting them in pads as soon as Wade was fired, implementing a dress code, insisting they be early to meetings, etc.

That's how you change culture even if, as a tactician, you aren't great.

Travis Frederick has to do a better job staying on his feet on running plays.

Ya, that dress code was hard core. Especially when Barber violated it the first game and nothing happened to him.

First pop of camp! Wilcox under Tanner's chin. Open field. Stopped him.
 
Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 2m
Nice job by Tyron Smith opening hole for Murray. Warded off Ware

Undrafted rookie Eric Rogers keeps making tough catches. Just made nice adjustment on short crossing route to catch ball deflected at LOS.

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 43s
Eric Rogers off to good start in camp. Crossing route from Orton and made adjustment.

Yeah Eric Rogers can play ... Forget practice squad . His goal should be the 53

Fourth-round CB BW Webb has been beaten deep on his first two reps. Great catch by undrafted WR Eric Rogers on second.

Uh oh, Black Wiener getting schooled.

Not every pick can pan out.

The two most impressive rookies so far have been 3rd-round safety JJ Wilcox and undrafted WR Eric Rogers.

You mean like how he was fined and then got 5 carries before garbage time in the next game?

He's fitting right in.

I wonder if Wilcox also got up and beat his chest afterward.
