Has he ever quit running at the mouth?

I'm listening to a local radio station (internet) that will be at camp during the pre-season. They are currently watching T.O practice, even though practice has broken up, T.O is still out there running routes at full speed. Bill Parcells is currently having his press conference. I'll post if he says something concerning T.O.

No, but if he stopped that would be news.

Bill Parcells: Tyson Thompson has been working all week with the first team. He'll be working with the first team this weekend. Bill would like to see how he looks the extended work with the first team.
He wants to have an "interchangable" back field. His wants J.J to be the lead, Marion on 3rd and in special situations, Thompson as the change up, but he's not reay for the 3rd down back, yet he has the tools to do it. He said matchup against opponents will not dictate which running back will start and which will be the 3rd down back.
He thinks having a multiple bak system is the way to go in this day and age. He used the word "interchangable" again.
There are currently talking to another team about making a trade for a WR.
He said he's low on numbers, he feels he's running his WRs to death.
They are going to scout swap.
Positives at camp: Greg Ellis trasition to the LBer position.

'Interchangable', aka RBBC?
BigTex
Don't mess with Texas
That's what it sounds like. He was asked three time to be specific but he kept saying "interchangable." I remember a press coference in the past in which he mentioned that rbs coming out of college are not prepared to handle the load becuase in college it's usually a rbbc. Caddy/Brown for instance and he went on to name some others. He said that colleges in the day and age don't prepare their rbs for the NFL, therefore; the NFL has to change the way they play their rbs.I hope this helps.

I can't say I'm shocked. TO will be ready to play when the ball is snapped in Jacksonville. That's all I care about.

If I'm not mistaken a notable coach said at the beginning of the 05 season that the day of the feature back was just about over. I'm not sure if it was Parcells or Shanahan, but I think it was one of the two. Both Dallas and Denver used RBBC last year, with the 1a back barely surpassing the 1b. From what it sounds like Dallas could be heading even more in that direction, especially if Barber and Thompson continue to develop. I still see Thompson as more of a ST guy than a RB. But I guess that's why he's working with the first unit. I am avoiding the Dallas RB mess in all drafts this year.

They are "speculating" that he "should" be with the team this afternoon for the second practice. They are repeating on how good he's looking. They are also shocked at how ESPN was report he was out the entire preseason.

This may not be a bad idea. Parcell said on different ocassions that JJ is the starter, MBIII is the third down back and "special situations" and today was the first I've heard him say T. Thompson will be the change of pace back but he also wants him to be the third down back.
So this begs the question...........who's out?

Fans that hated him will now love him just because he is on their teamTO will be there in week 2 for his first game in Dallas, and he will catch his first touchdown pass of the day, run to the star and midfield, and the fans will go absolutely bananas. I'm pretty sure that's a prime time night game too.

It makes sense when you realize that "loyal," "die-hard" fans don't cheer for players, they cheer for laundry.Fans that hated him will now love him just because he is on their teamTO will be there in week 2 for his first game in Dallas, and he will catch his first touchdown pass of the day, run to the star and midfield, and the fans will go absolutely bananas.

ESPN is ceasing to exist as a true sports news outlet and is slowly growing to become Weekly World News. But we knew this already.

Nobody, I think. He wants all of his guys to put out all their effort as if they were the guy. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You can never have too many capable runners, anyway.

I agree. I think all three will play a role, and it will break down to something really mediocre for each player considering their ADP. Best to avoid altogether, unless JJ falls in your lap in the fifth.Nobody, I think. He wants all of his guys to put out all their effort as if they were the guy.

Taking that at face value, then that likely spells something like 200-225 carries for JJ.I agree.

As for TO, you Cowboys fans think you're out of the woods, but his sudden return to practice simply means that people will speculate anew about the legitimacy of his injury claims and special medical team in light of his sudden recovery.

Cowboys | Owens does more work Wednesday
Published Wed Aug 9 11:58:00 p.m. ET 2006
(KFFL) Jaime Aron, of the Associated Press, reports Dallas Cowboys WR Terrell Owens (hamstring) ran hard, made cuts and came to some quick stops while catching passes Wednesday, Aug. 9, but did so during two post-practice session with a fourth-string quarterback, not with the rest of the Dallas Cowboys starters. did more of the same in the afternoon, then said he's feeling "81 percent" healthy. "I'm close," said Owens, who wears No. 81. "I play a skill position. My legs are my livelihood. I have to be smart in this situation." Owens missed two practices Wednesday, the ninth and 10th since he first felt the twinge Aug. 2. He still considers himself day-to-day and reiterated that he doesn't expect to play in the preseason opener Saturday night, Aug. 12, in Seattle. Owens said he and head coach Bill Parcells still haven't discussed his injury. He did talk about it with team owner Jerry Jones. Owens has never had a hamstring problem before. ! An MRI taken Saturday showed no damage, but he was concerned enough to have flown in his own doctors, trainers and an oxygen chamber that speeds recovery.

Dallas DID NOT use RBBC last year. In the 11 games that Julius started and finished, he had 20 or more carries in 8 of them, and only one game (KC) could have been considered RBBC.Whether the Cowboys use RBBC this year may be up for discussion, but they most certainly did not use it regularly last year.
