2013 Training Camp Thread...

Hahahahaha. That's the most Dbair reply ever

anyone else a little worried about Claibornes knee

He jammed his knee. It's not like he jammed his finger, where you tape it up and keep going. If it's just a jammed knee as they claim, then I'm not surprised that's it's been about a week in healing, and at the same time the staff is being cautious. Jam knees are not that serious but they do leave you sore and numb.

How do you jam your knee?

New one for me. I bet Ratliff gave him that idea.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- One of the reasons why Jason Garrett likes to have a training camp practice at AT&T Stadium is for the current players to mix and mingle with the former players and learn the history of the Dallas Cowboys franchise.

Cliff Harris spoke at the dinner following the two-hour practice and was one of six members of the Ring of Honor in attendance, along with Roger Staubach, Lee Roy Jordan, Rayfield Wright, Mel Renfro and Charles Haley.

Players representing every era of Cowboys’ football were on hand, as well, including Butch Johnson, Jay Novacek, Billy Joe DuPree, John Fitzgerald and Ken Hamlin.

It's been a lot more than a week on Claiborne. It's been over two weeks, and he isn't playing this week either.

 

[Jon88]

He had to be helped off the field last season after he lacerated his lip.

It might be a while.

Stepping too hard with foot. Or jumping up and coming down awkward on it.

It's been a lot more than a week on Claiborne. It's been over two weeks, and he isn't playing this week either.

That's why I said they might be holding him out as a precaution. They did an MRI, and he supposedly has tendonitis. Either way, he should be back at the start of the season.

Nahhhhhhhhhh. No league double standard or bias at all:

While Micah Pellerin gets a hefty fine, Mike Jenkins gets off scot-free

The Cowboys likely don't agree with the league on its assessment of punishment for two recent hits.

Cowboys cornerback Micah Pellerin was fined $15,750 for unnecessary roughness on Cardinals punt returner Charles Hawkins during last Saturday's game. Pellerin was flagged 15 yards for the hit, which the league deemed "striking a defenseless player in the head and neck area."

The Cowboys and Dez Bryant had expected former teammate Mike Jenkins to be fined for a hit he applied to Bryant in the Aug. 9 game in Oakland. The Raiders cornerback lined up Bryant after a 26-yard reception and hit Bryant so hard that Jenkins lost his helmet.

Jenkins was neither penalized nor fined for the hit.

That's bullshit

 

[dbair1967]

That's bullshit

GOODELL IS GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!

 

[Jon88]

GOODELL IS GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!

I hope Jerry gave him a call.

What can we do? Not a fucking thing.

 

[peplaw06]

Jenkins got abused by Dez is what happened.

 

[diehard2294]

GOODELL IS GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!

i swear he is going to ruin this game! He's a true asshole

 

[Jon88]

I hope Jerry has someone place the money for the fine in that poor guy's locker. He can't afford that.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Uh, Pellerin hit a punt returner who had called for a fair catch. Granted, it was a lame fair catch signal and our guy legitimately didn't see it, but still, totally different than hitting Dez when he's running with the ball.

It was a head-to-head hit by Jenkins on Dez. That's supposed to be illegal now.

 

[Jon88]

Helmet to helmet is illegal unless it's against us.

I have little doubt had Brandon Carr taken out somebody like that, there'd have been flags and probably fines

‏@calexmendez7h
Jerry got asked if Ratliff will practice next week. 'No.' How about Livings? 'No.' Leary? 'My gut is he'll play against the Giants.'


Thanks Coach.
