Dallas Cowboys QBs coach Wade Wilson says Tony Romo ‘by far’ had his best practice Saturday
| Brandon George, DMN
George writes that Romo was sharp with all his throws Saturday, and particularly looked good on his deep passes.
Cowboys Camp Report: Day 17 - Todd Archer, ESPN Dallas
In Archer's daily review of Cowboys training camp, Tony Romo's deep passes get the most attention, suggesting that all the hot air produced on the topic over the last few days is relatively harmless:
Since Wade Wilson said Tony Romo was being tentative with his deep throws last week, maybe it was not a coincidence that Romo's first throw of one-on-one drills was a perfect go route to Dez Bryant. Romo continued to attack downfield, connecting on a go route with a diving Terrance Williams. Later in 7-on-7 drills he gashed the defense with a throw down the seam to Jason Witten. In situational work he hit Cole Beasley between the linebackers and safety with a good throw.
On the day, Romo completed 21 of 30 passes in team and 7-on-7 drills in his first work since a four-day break surrounding the first preseason game. He is expected to practice again Sunday with the team having its last day off in camp Monday. The Oakland Raiders will visit for two practices Tuesday and Wednesday.
Day 17 observations from Dallas Cowboys training camp practices: QB Tony Romo sharp; WR Terrance Williams with big day | Brandon George, DMN
Brandon George lists the hits, misses and notable moments from Saturday’s practices, with Tony Romo getting extra attention:
Tony Romo had two nice deep passes midway through team drills. Romo showed great touch on a deep pass down the right sideline to WR Terrance Williams, who made a head-first dive to make the catch after getting behind CB B.W. Webb on a go route. Romo then handled a low snap before firing another deep pass to the left sideline, hitting TE Gavin Escobar in stride. Escobar ran a cross from the right side and was in tight coverage against CB Orlando Scandrick and S J.J. Wilcox, but Romo put the ball in the perfect spot for the completion.
Cowboys Training Camp Report, Practice Number Twelve: Ranking The Position Groups - Blogging The Boys
Rabblerousr offers his usual observations and analysis from Cowboys camp, and supplements this with a ranking of position groups, which surprisingly has the defensive backs coming in second behind the wide receivers
2. Defensive Backs: In what will likely be the controversial choice, the DBs beat out the OL for the #2 spot. Why? Because of a combination of quality and depth. Not only is the position topped by some very good players (the top three corners, Barry Church), but boasts a very competitive second tier (J.J. Wilcox, Jeff Heath, Jakar Hamilton) and a very tightly bunched third tier, all of whom (B.W. Webb, Ahmad Dixon, Terrance Mitchell, Tyler Patmon, Sterling Moore, Matt Johnson, Ryan Smith) could conceivably make the roster. The only exceptions are the two new guys (Korey Lindsey and Johnny Thomas); I'm not sure they should even count, as they are merely temporary injury additions.

Kavner notes that five players who missed the first preseason game returned to practice (Barry Church, Rolando McClain, Will Smith, Morris Claiborne, Sterling Moore) as did Brandon Carr, albeit in not in full pads. Kavner also quotes Rod Marinelli, whose assessment of the secondary chimes with rabblerousr's observation above:
"Our strength right now are those corners are really good, and we think we’ve got some good safeties," said defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli. "We can do some things with those guys to help us."

Broaddus runs through some thoughts from camp, highlighted by Tyrone Crawford’s progress at defensive end, Joseph Randle's tightening grip on the third RB spot, Gavin Escobar's improvement as a point of attack blocker, Uche Nwaneri's good chances of making the roster and the increasingly bleak outlook for the fullbacks.
