OXNARD, Calif. -- The Cowboys worked on short yardage, two-minute and goal line situations in addition to the individual drills during Tuesday's practice.
*Quarterback Tony Romo participated in the session after convincing the coaches he didn't want a day off. Romo looked good at moving around the pocket and was throwing tight spirals. Romo showed good movement when flushed out of the pocket by Kyle Wilber in the goal line drills. Romo scrambled to his right and threw a hard pass into the end zone.
*Without a fullback on the roster the Cowboys used Dante Rosario as the H-back on goal line plays. The first score of the drill came with Rosario blocking for running back Phillip Tanner. Tanner followed that up with a good block on defensive tackle Monte Taylor. Tanner's block allowed Kyle Orton's time to throw a touchdown pass to Rosario in the back of the end zone.
*Safety Matt Johnson is technically a rookie. He missed all of last season with a hamstring injury and the time away shows. On a short pass to Rosario, Johnson came up fast to make the tackle, but the tight end side-stepped him and ran down field. Johnson is anxious to make plays but if he slowed down he would have made the tackle for a loss.
*Cole Beasley (quad) returned to practice after missing two days of work and dropped two passes. After his last drop, a player on the sidelines yelled at him to take his gloves off.
*DeMarcus Ware is such an explosive force on defense where he makes plays all over the field. During an end around with receiver Dwayne Harris, Ware came from the other side of the field and yanked him down from the shoulder pads after a short gain. You could blame Gavin Escobar for missing the block or Ware being to fast to stop. During pass rush drills, Ware worked on both the left and right sides and while Tyron Smith and Doug Free held their own at times, Ware's speed allowed him to beat Free quickly for a sack. Taylor also beat Free during the pass rush.
*Linebackers Alex Albright and Ernie Sims got some first team snaps with Justin Durant getting an off day.
*Wide receiver Terrance Williams displayed his speed after catching a hitch and getting down field. Williams got off the line of scrimmage quickly, displayed patience by catching the pass and quickly got up field.
*Gossip Girl and Revenge TV star Connor Paolo was in attendance. (WHIPPDEEFUCKIN'DOO!!)
