August, 16, 2011 By Bryan Broaddus ARLINGTON, Texas -- If you have been following along this training camp, you understand how critical I was in the selection of Bill Nagy, the center/guard from Wisconsin who was a seventh-round pick. Nagy was not a starter for the Badgers, but to his...

I'll admit... I'm a classless fan that roots for injuries to our rivals. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hoping these guys die (aside from Mcnabb or Eli Manning). But lets just say I wouldn't shed a tear if Justin Tuck blew an ACL or Aaron Rodgers tore is rotator cuff. With that in mind, I'm...

It didn't start out as the best evening for Stephen McGee, but it ended well. The 3rd string Cowboys quarterback walked off a shot to the ankle that hobbled him the rest of the game. He then shook off some early series yips that saw him revert to old form, tucking and running with the football...

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said right guard Montrae Holland's prolonged absence with a back injury was the foundation of the decision to move Kyle Kosier to the right side from the left. Fourth-round pick David Arkin had been playing right guard next to rookie top-pick Tyron Smith at right...

August, 10, 2011 By Calvin Watkins SAN ANTONIO -- Todd Archer told us about some of the restructured contracts of DeMarcus Ware and Miles Austin last week. A closer look reveals the Cowboys turned $6.515 million of Ware's projected $6.7 million base salary into a signing bonus for 2011...

Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan joined 103.3 KESN-FM Monday to talk about training camp. Here are some highlights: Has anyone asked you to tone down the trash-talking and swagger? "I don't think so. I think our guys know me. This is the way it's always been. It's just usually at...

By Calvin Watkins SAN ANTONIO -- After watching a tape of Sunday's scrimmage on Monday morning, coach Jason Garrett said he was pleased with what he saw. "I think there were a lot of good things in all areas of our team," Garrett said. "Clearly we can improve in all areas. I thought the...

Posted by jellis at 8/8/2011 1:40 PM CDT on dallascowboys.com One of the bright spots of Sunday's scrimmage was the chance to evaluate first-round tackle Tyron Smith in more of a game-like environment, and he held up well for the most part. However, as is always the case when a team is...
