Camp Chatter 7/26/10....

2:35 [Comment From JoshClantonJoshClanton: ]
Welcome Everyone!
Monday July 26, 2010 2:35 JoshClanton

2:35 David Moore: Sorry for the delay. I asked Todd and Gerry to carry my computer, and they refused. Tim wasn't even worth asking. Let's go
Monday July 26, 2010 2:35 David Moore

2:36 [Comment From Billy-JoeBilly-Joe: ]
Right on time
Monday July 26, 2010 2:36 Billy-Joe

2:36 David Moore: We're nothing if not punctual
Monday July 26, 2010 2:36 David Moore

2:37 David Moore: Dez Bryant, by the way, has just taken the field. Wade Phillips stopped him and they had a brief chat. Roy Williams came out later. No interaction yet, but I can tell you that Roy was carrying his own helmet.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:37 David Moore

2:37 [Comment From MorrisMorris: ]
What is going to be the effect of the Dez and the helmet issue?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:37 Morris

2:38 David Moore: Depends on how it is handled today. This can blow up and be gone before you know it depending on what the two principles say today.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:38 David Moore

2:38 [Comment From Scott_AZScott_AZ: ]
If Spencer picks up from where he left off the pressure from he and Ware will be unrelenting on opposing QBs..... that should be the difference in causing turnovers don't you think?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:38 Scott_AZ

2:39 David Moore: You would think so. But if you look at how much pressure the Cowboys have applied in recent seasons _ even before Spencer emerged _ you would think that would have resulted in more turnovers.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:39 David Moore

2:40 [Comment From TylerTyler: ]
How has Mike Hamlin looked so far in camp?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:40 Tyler

2:41 David Moore: Pretty good. He's broken up passes in each of the sessions. The Cowboys like his instincts. Still think Alan Ball will be the starter on opening day, but Hamlin will challenge.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:41 David Moore

2:41 [Comment From GuestGuest: ]
Any sideways looks at Dez today? Hope this blows over OK. It's kinda silly. It's all over ESPN I can't stand it
Monday July 26, 2010 2:41 Guest

2:42 David Moore: It is silly if everyone responds the right way today. I know I'm repeating myself _ did I just repeat myself? _ but if neither player budges today, this is an issue than could linger and pop up in another form down the road.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:42 David Moore

2:42 [Comment From RobertRobert: ]
Are the writers busy trying to stir up some more s@#t with Dez
Monday July 26, 2010 2:42 Robert

2:43 David Moore: Robert, we're not stirring up anything. We report what happens. It seems to me the comments and incessant interest in what happens is doing the stirring.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:43 David Moore

2:43 Gerry Fraley: Peace in Happy Valley. Dez Bryant went up to Roy Williams as the receivers gathered and offered a brief comment.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:43 Gerry Fraley

2:44 [Comment From ryanryan: ]
would love to have more of a "play by play" of practice as opposed to a Q & A...i think that's how it was done last year and it gave us a good idea of what was going on in camp- i personally don't care about readers questions..
Monday July 26, 2010 2:44 ryan

2:44 David Moore: We'll try to do more of that today
Monday July 26, 2010 2:44 David Moore

2:44 [Comment From bryanbryan: ]
The media really pisses me off sometimes..... is it really that serious that bryant doesnt want to me hazed?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:44 bryan

2:44 Gerry Fraley: Ryan, Good point. I'm just learning the format that readers like. The baseball chat is different.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:44 Gerry Fraley

2:45 Gerry Fraley: IIt's not really hazing. More like initiation. Happens in every sport. It's a good bonding exercise.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:45 Gerry Fraley

2:45 David Moore: Bryan, does that mean you won't carry my recorder?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:45 David Moore

2:45 [Comment From P1 StevenP1 Steven: ]
Does any other team get attendance @ training camp like the Cowboys?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:45 P1 Steven

2:45 David Moore: No. Not even close
Monday July 26, 2010 2:45 David Moore

2:46 [Comment From MorrisMorris: ]
Do you think Jerry would let T.O. back on the team if he volunteered to carry Roy's pads?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:46 Morris

2:46 Gerry Fraley: Nothing close. I'm amazed by how many, about 5,000, are here on a weekday.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:46 Gerry Fraley

2:46 [Comment From markmark: ]
williams is a 2nd tier receiver at best, this is his way of getting on sportscenter with your guys help. funny it is about williams and not the other vets.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:46 mark

2:46 David Moore: Good one, Morris.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:46 David Moore

2:46 [Comment From Bill_In_DCBill_In_DC: ]
How has Sean Lee looked so far?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:46 Bill_In_DC

2:46 [Comment From Patrick J.Patrick J.: ]
This pads issue is the biggest thing since "The Decision". Maybe ESPN will have an hour long special called "The Decision 2" where Dez will tell use which player he is taking his pad carrying talents to.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:46 Patrick J.

2:47 David Moore: Maybe they can get LeBron to host.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:47 David Moore

2:47 Gerry Fraley: Lee doing well. Picking up assignments at a fast pace. Had some problems with leg cramps on Sunday.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:47 Gerry Fraley

2:47 [Comment From DixonDixon: ]
Full pads or shells today?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:47 Dixon

2:47 Gerry Fraley: full pads
Monday July 26, 2010 2:47 Gerry Fraley

2:47 [Comment From Billy-JoeBilly-Joe: ]
Do you think there was any motivation on Dez's part beyond 'I don't like hazing' or do you think it was something premeditated or even personal considering who the veteren who asked to have their pads carried.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:47 Billy-Joe

2:48 Gerry Fraley: Don't think dez was aware of what life is like as a rookie in the pros. he's used to being coddled. It's another game at this level.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:48 Gerry Fraley

2:48 [Comment From markmark: ]
I think your reference to Dez is ridiculous. and the article from archer and fraley is what you guys are all about, causing friction from nothing.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:48 mark

2:49 Gerry Fraley: Thanks for the input.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:49 Gerry Fraley

2:49 David Moore: I don't believe it was premeditated.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:49 David Moore

2:49 [Comment From BIGDinBIGREDBIGDinBIGRED: ]
why do kickers only kick 3 or 4 times per practice, shouldnt they kick dozens of attempts?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:49 BIGDinBIGRED

2:49 Gerry Fraley: Don't want to wear out the legs. They do other work such as streching, which is vital.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:49 Gerry Fraley

2:49 David Moore: There are only so many kicks a leg has over the course of the season. YOu don't want to use up too many now.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:49 David Moore

2:49 [Comment From scott Lake Tahoescott Lake Tahoe: ]
What's latest on Marcus Spears. We can't trade him! Leave Dez alone; he's there to play football. I wouldn't have liked being treated like a freshman in college either.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:49 scott Lake Tahoe

2:50 Gerry Fraley: Field goals -- Buehler from 31 -- good.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:50 Gerry Fraley

2:50 Gerry Fraley: Field goal -- Buehler from 33 -- good.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:50 Gerry Fraley

2:51 Gerry Fraley: Buehler not facing a live rush.
from 36 -- good.
whole team is watching, that is pressure.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:51 Gerry Fraley

2:51 Gerry Fraley: from 38 -- might have been wide left. we have a bad angle.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:51 Gerry Fraley

2:52 Gerry Fraley: replay official says buehler was good from 38.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:52 Gerry Fraley

2:52 [Comment From BrettBrett: ]
Sure is. We need Buehler to be solid this year. Kicking game cost us BIG last year.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:52 Brett

2:52 [Comment From romo2wittenromo2witten: ]
Is Buehler kicking with power or chipping them in?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:52 romo2witten

2:53 Gerry Fraley: He's hitting them well.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:53 Gerry Fraley

2:53 [Comment From JoshClantonJoshClanton: ]
Are all of these down the middle, or are they close to missing?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:53 JoshClanton

2:53 Gerry Fraley: first 3 down the pipe -- last one to the left.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:53 Gerry Fraley

2:53 [Comment From GuestGuest: ]
At this point- any idea whether Kosier is able to be the back up center ?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:53 Guest

2:53 Gerry Fraley: good question He needs to get some time at the position in exhibitions.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:53 Gerry Fraley

2:53 Gerry Fraley: breaking up into individual groups.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:53 Gerry Fraley

whats the latest on brandon williams?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:54 John

2:54 Gerry Fraley: Doing well but being limited to one practice per day on the artificial turf to protect the repaired knee.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:54 Gerry Fraley

Training is training, game is game, the important is to get right on time.

2:54 [Comment From ToddTodd: ]
A bit down the roster... any chance Chris Gronkowski finds a spot on the roster or practice squad? Would love to see 3 gronkowski brothers in the league
Monday July 26, 2010 2:54 Todd

2:55 Gerry Fraley: Borderline. A very good blocker.
Know about the brother with New England. Another brother plays baseball in the independent Frontier League. Where is the other brother?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:55 Gerry Fraley

2:56 [Comment From RickRick: ]
Any remote possiblity Hodge gets retained this year because of his special teams ability?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:56 Rick

2:56 Gerry Fraley: He's going to have trouble getting on the field. Had major knee surgery and is slowly recovering.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:56 Gerry Fraley

2:56 [Comment From jonnyjonny: ]
How are things looking on the Doug Free/Alex Barron front?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:56 jonny

2:57 Gerry Fraley: Both doing well. Barron making a strong impression. Change of scenery may help him.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:57 Gerry Fraley

Are these kicks on the mini PVC pipe, Arena-esque field goals?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:57 Taylor

know its early but any idea of who will play in the first game, any starters or will they all sit
Monday July 26, 2010 2:57 mark

2:58 Gerry Fraley: Only a guess. starters for one quarter out of respect for the HOF weekend.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:58 Gerry Fraley

2:58 [Comment From RickRick: ]
Dallas is thinking Spears at DT, is that because of Williams emergence?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:58 Rick

2:58 Gerry Fraley: No. A case that he could play the nose if needed.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:58 Gerry Fraley

2:58 [Comment From DraegermanDraegerman: ]
This is what bothers me about our 2010 Cowboys: The hype surrounding just how great they're going to be. Just like Dez Bryant and his self-inflicted Texas-size ego, this team has yet to play a regular season down and most are already annointing them as the "Chosen One". My fear is that they're going to start buying into the hype and expect other NFL teams to lie down and simply allow them to win. Hype can be a really deadly thing. Thoughts?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:58 Draegerman

2:59 [Comment From Brad DentonBrad Denton: ]
It's early but is anyone making a move for 4th CB spot?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:59 Brad Denton

2:59 Gerry Fraley: McCann, of SMU
Monday July 26, 2010 2:59 Gerry Fraley

2:59 [Comment From RickRick: ]
Please give us updates on Shanon Sharpes cousin Brandon on the pass rush?
Monday July 26, 2010 2:59 Rick

2:59 Gerry Fraley: They're looking at Sharpe on the inside with Octavien on the outside.
Monday July 26, 2010 2:59 Gerry Fraley

2:59 [Comment From JohnJohn: ]
what about Wall at CB?

Monday July 26, 2010 2:59 John
3:00 Gerry Fraley: physical style, needs better footwork.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:00 Gerry Fraley

You think Dez will sing his school song if asked
Monday July 26, 2010 3:00 JA

3:00 Gerry Fraley: What is it?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:00 Gerry Fraley

3:00 [Comment From RickRick: ]
Why not run the wildcat all the time/? They knew it was coming and still couldnt stop it? lol It got 5 yards a pop every carry. What were the final numbers? Stat guys at DMN?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:00 Rick

3:02 Gerry Fraley: 70 carries for 445 yards and 3 touchdowns when running from the shotgun. Cannot give you the breakdown on razorback vs. with a qurterback.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:02 Gerry Fraley

3:03 [Comment From markmark: ]
who is our starting left tackle against wash, free or barron
Monday July 26, 2010 3:03 mark

3:03 Gerry Fraley: free
Monday July 26, 2010 3:03 Gerry Fraley

3:03 [Comment From brianbrian: ]
Any early signs on Travis Bright? Could he make the team and even be a long term replacement for Gurode?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:03 brian

3:03 Gerry Fraley: added upper body strength, significant. working at center-guard. No. 2 team center.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:03 Gerry Fraley

3:03 [Comment From csomchittcsomchitt: ]
since felix has gotten big do you think it will slow him down a bit?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:03 csomchitt

3:04 Gerry Fraley: don't think so. he has run well so far.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:04 Gerry Fraley

Monday July 26, 2010 3:04 ccollins

3:04 Gerry Fraley: Me, without a doubt. Not even close. It's like Secretariat in the Belmont.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:04 Gerry Fraley

3:04 [Comment From BrettBrett: ]
the ‘Boys ran 16 plays out of the Wildcat in 2009–all runs. They averaged 6.75 yards-per-carry on those plays.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:04 Brett

3:05 Gerry Fraley: Thanks, Brett. Did not have that handy. Appreciate the help.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:05 Gerry Fraley

3:05 [Comment From 29tigerboys29tigerboys: ]
I think it's a good thing if all the controversy we have has to do with Dez's unwillingness to carry Roy's pads. It is being blown out of proportion, tho. The story is on NFL Live now.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:05 29tigerboys

3:05 Gerry Fraley: Disagree. Dez Bryant came into the league under a cloud of doubt because of the last year. He made a big step to helping himself by signing and arriving on time. This episode smacks of a prima-donna.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:05 Gerry Fraley

3:05 [Comment From Ny Dallas FanNy Dallas Fan: ]
What is the attendance total look like today?

Any news on when Akwasi Owusu-Ansah will get to practice?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:06 brian

3:06 Gerry Fraley: My guess is the Oxnard portion. He's ahead of Hodge.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:06 Gerry Fraley

3:06 [Comment From guestguest: ]
Is Barron only insurance for Free? Is it possible that Free will play LT and Barron will play RT and Colombo will sit?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:06 guest

3:07 Gerry Fraley: Colombo starts. Barron will push Free. Pretty good tackle situation if a former No. 1 (Barron) is the third guy.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:07 Gerry Fraley

3:07 [Comment From BrianBrian: ]
How is Titus Ryan looking? Can you see him replacing Hurd or Crayton? The DB's raved about his speed during OTA's plus I see an opportunity for Jerry to save some money and get younger.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:07 Brian

3:08 Gerry Fraley: Speed there, but he needs refinment. I see the practice squad in his future. Cowboys would like to have that speed working against the corners in practice every day. would help the corners.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:08 Gerry Fraley

3:08 [Comment From csomchittcsomchitt: ]
how is mike hamlin looking? does he look like he can beat out ball for the starting job?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:08 csomchitt

3:08 Gerry Fraley: Made one outstanding play on Saturday. Around the ball. Was the playmaker at Clemson.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:08 Gerry Fraley

3:08 [Comment From TroyTroy: ]
How has 2nd year player, LB Victor Butler looked? Besides the INT on Saturday, haven't heard much.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:08 Troy

3:09 Gerry Fraley: Butler been good. Wade Phillips singled him out for praise yesteday. Along with TE Phillips and LBs Lee and Williams.

Monday July 26, 2010 3:09 Jonny

3:10 Gerry Fraley: front-line free safety.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:10 Gerry Fraley

3:10 [Comment From oldfan60oldfan60: ]
Why is it a prima donna issue? Dez was talking to someone else when Williams came up to him. Kind of rude to intterupt. IMO.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:10 oldfan60

3:10 Gerry Fraley: Sorry, but veterans rule in any sport. Rookies must know their place.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:10 Gerry Fraley

3:10 [Comment From JavanJavan: ]
What position is Barron better at, lt or rt? I'm more concerned with Columbo at this point.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:10 Javan

3:11 Gerry Fraley: Barron has the footwork and body of a LT. Lacks the bulk of a RT.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:11 Gerry Fraley

3:11 [Comment From 29tigerboys29tigerboys: ]
A prima donna would express himself by holding out, not by refusing to hold pads.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:11 29tigerboys

I saw on BTB yesterday that akwasi was having leg problems. Isn't it his shoulder keeping him out?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:11 Robert

3:12 Gerry Fraley: Shoulder. some guys are getting cramps because of the turf.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:12 Gerry Fraley

3:12 David Moore: Jesse Holley just made a nice, one-handed grab in stride while running full speed. He will have a tough time making this team, but he has improved.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:12 David Moore

3:12 [Comment From JavanJavan: ]
I keep hearing Barron looks more like a Tight end than a tackle. does he get abused in the running game?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:12 Javan

3:13 Gerry Fraley: He lacks the lower-body bulk of many tackles. But he also blocked fo ra big-time rusher in st. Louis: Stephen Jackson.

3:13 [Comment From AustexAustex: ]
How are the backup QBs doing? Is Mcgee a ligit NFL QB?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:13 Austex

3:14 Gerry Fraley: None has looked good. Kitna suffers from working behind No. 2 line vs. No. 1 line. Have doubts about McGee as an NFL quarterback.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:14 Gerry Fraley

3:14 [Comment From Dave W.Dave W.: ]
What's the news on the kicking game? Will the Cowboys bring in a vet kicker or what??
Monday July 26, 2010 3:14 Dave W.

3:14 David Moore: This camp is crucial for McGee. If he doesn't show progress, the Cowboys will consider finding another backup to develop.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:14 David Moore

3:14 Gerry Fraley: As has been said repeatedly, no veteran coming in at this point. It's all up to Buehler.

Is Colombo fully recovered from his injuries last year?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:14 Brian

3:14 David Moore: He's not very forthcoming on those things, but he looks fine.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:14 David Moore

How are walkthroughs different from regular training camp practices from the fan's perspective?
Monday July 26, 2010 3:15 CowboysFanNYC

3:16 Gerry Fraley: Walkthrough are quick rehersals, going over who is in which package, etc. More of a menal activity.
Camp practices are much more invovled.

If you had to describe the overall team attitude right now, how would you describe it?

I don't know if everyone gets it, but refusing to go along with traditional and expected rookie BS is not going to be a little thing if it continues. This is the sort of thing this team just does not need right now. Hope the veterans take care of it.
Monday July 26, 2010 3:19 Joe Bear

3:20 Gerry Fraley: Joe Bear -- Agree with you. It's part of the forming of a team. Any pro team has a pecking order in the clubhouse. Rookies are at the bottom. that's the way it has been and will be. They have to pay their dues and earn respect.
