Day One..Cowboys Rookie Camp

[beevomav]

Travis Frederick after day one:

"The thing I like about football the most is that you get to do things on the field you can't do off the field. It would be pretty illegal just to beat you up, but on the field I get a chance to do that. I get a chance to legally beat somebody up."

"I take advantage of that when I can."

Editor Note: Holy f##king Shit!

Gavin Escobar note from Todd Archer:

Graceful isn't normally the best description for a football player, but that's what Jerry Jones called Gavin's ability to run routes. He didn't run particularly fast, but he showed the knack of getting open.

New tight ends coach Wes Phillips also mentioned Escobars catch radius as a plus. He made catch after catch on day one.

Others of Note:

RB Kendall Lawrence has a chance to make this team. On day one he ran smooth and hit every hole. That's critical if he is to beat out Tanner or Dunbar for a roster spot.

CB BW Webb did a good job of defending off Escobar on one-on-one drills. Although Gavin did make a nice TD catch on him.

WR Jared Green looked good, but I have to wonder why the Redskins didn't take a chance on him? His father Darrell Green was an HOF player with them.

In case you are wondering?

Bill Callahan was indeed calling plays on day one of the rookie camp.

Let the speculation continue.

Other notes:

Concerns arose with Frederick when he attempted a snap in the Shotgun Formation. The ball just rolled on the ground. Yikes! Maybe he can get some tips from Romo, who is sleeping in Jerry's office with Jason Garrett. Romo is in the top of the bunk beds.

That's All Folks!

I still don't get taking Frederick in the 1st rd. Everything I've seen from everyone associated with the NFL says he was a late 3rd-4th round pick.

It was a terrible pick and no justification will make it OK. Romo might be scrambling for his life again every Sunday this season...

BTW Jerry had retina surgery last week. Rumor has it he threw in a surgery of the plastic nature too...

Frederick is a big nasty guy. The Cowboys had him as the only OG/C left on their board and they needed a center. A bit of a reach but the Cowboys, according to Ed Werder, got word the Eagles were going to take him if Dallas didn't.

Don't buy into the media trashing all things Cowboys. This is the same media that hate UT..

No one has done less with more at the RB spot than Dallas, though injury has played a part in it lately.

I think if Murray can stay healthy and the O line finally look better than a hot pile of shit that the running game could do pretty well this year.

Having a shitty O-Line has not helped. Murry is the real deal and again I think Lawrence might make the team, not go to the HOF..

 

[Lord Vader]

Thats what they need Mav, guys who will fight and make the team. Tanner had his chances, hasnt done much with them. Romo's a different subject, but the bottom of the Dallas roster has sucked ass. You need to be better 40-53 than your opponents as much as you need to be on par with them 1-39

 

[beevomav]

The NFL has become a fight with injuries, and you are only as good as the backups..I guarantee you if Sean Lee and Bruce Carter were healthy in the win or go home game against Washington, RGIII would have been planted by these two guys..but..They ended up with two guys who were crashed on couches a few weeks before.

 

[Lord Vader]

Exactly, and the division is tough top to bottom
