Bloom Reporting from Valley Ranch (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

- The Metroplex is as hot and humid as ever

- Brandon Marshall is lining up opposite Javon Walker again

- Brandon Stokely is still not suiting up, although he did some work catching passes on the side

- Jay Cutler seems more indecisive than he did in Dove Valley

- This was a low key practice with no hitting or cutting

- Crayton was lining up in the slot with Hurd and TO wide in three WR sets

- Brandon Marshall was fielding punts (and doing well)

- Cutler missed high more today than in all practices I saw at Dove Valley combined

- Cecil Sapp continues to show a surprisingly good burst

- Selvin Young only looks good when he runs straight ahead

- Hixon did a great job shielding the DB with his body on one play, and had no trouble catching a ball that was deflected off course by Pat Watkins on another.

- I watched a lot of Denver O vs. Dallas D, and the Denver O seemed very timid, dumping off a lot and barely testing them downfield at all

I also got to hang out in the Cowboys locker room and got some audio for AM 950 The Fan from Brandon Marshall, Tony Romo, TO, Witten, Barber, and Nick Folk (that one's for Mike Herman)

To cap off the morning, I got to take part in the Wade Phillips press conference. I asked him about the split between Barber and JJ - I'm planning on doing a blog post summing up the presser when I get more time.

Ive attached some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Afternoon practice in less than an hour.

In before:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Did you screech that to him before you took that picture?

Professionalism dictated that I did not.He is extremely imposing physically. Believe me, you would not think a guy that moves as fluid as he does is as big as he is.

Did you jump into the laundry bin and steal a jersey like in the commercials? That would be cool.

We all know you wanted to though! Thanks for the report.

Is Marshall expecting to play in the next pre season game?

Marshall says that's the plan (from another interview, not mine)

- Crayton was lining up in the slot with Hurd and TO wide in three WR sets

interesting.

Why is this interesting? Hurd is 4th string. Saying Glenn may miss all of preseason now.

During the Press Conference, Phillips said "touch and go" for the last preseason game in response to a question about Glenn's status.

Who took Glenn's place in 2 WR sets...Crayton or Hurd?

Anything said about Henry

 

[Real Man of Genius]

10:17 -- Calvin "Lucky" Watkins reports that T.O. did torch Champ Bailey with a double-move during 1-on-1s. Bailey's knees buckled, letting T.O. get behind him on a deep ball from Tony Romo. ...

This and other good stuff on today's practice here

Bloom how come you lowered him so much in your rankings

Cut blocks aren't a concern

Some of you folks have worried about the knees of the Cowboys' D-linemen with the cut-blocking Broncos visiting Valley Ranch. You can relax.

Wade Phillips said the teams agreed that there would be no cut-blocking during their four practices together.

"We're not trying to get anybody hurt," he said.
