Corner Watch, Post-Denver

Corner is supposed to be a new strength on the team. How did they play, with Terence Newman out of the lineup:

Here are the six guys behind Newman in the pecking order:

Anthony Henry:

• Thrown at: 3
• Completions: 3
• Yards: 54

Eddie Royal blew up Henry’s line with a 32 yard catch where Henry got his hands on the ball but could not bat it away from the Bronco. Played soft on a Brandon Marshall comeback on the next play and surrendered a four yarder later.

Mike Jenkins

• Thrown at: 4
• Completions: 4
• Yards: 54

Welcome to the NFL rookie. Denver went after him on their opening drive. Brandon Marshall ran him off on a comeback; Jenkins was still running up the field when Marshall made his cut. Denver then crossed him up, running a stop and go to Royal that got Jenkins to bite. He slipped, letting Royal cruise for 35. Marshall ended Jenkins’ evening by executing Sprint Right Option, otherwise known to Dallas fans as “The Catch” play. Marshall ran what looked like a square in, then pivoted and took off for the deep right corner, where he caught Jay Cutler’s pass for a touchdown.

Evan Oglesby

• Thrown at: 6
• Completed: 3
• Yards: 37

A decent line, but it’s actually less than meets the eye. Twice he was beaten but saw his receivers drop the passes, at eight and 19 yards. Brandon Stokley beat him with ease when the Broncos starters were in. Oglesby’s good camp work may be eroding, because…

Adam Jones

• Thrown at: 4
• Completed: 3
• Yards: 6

How about that YPA of 1.5. Jones looked much more comfortable than he did in San Diego. His tackling was much better and he dropped an interception. He’ll likely start in the nickel on the right corner, with Newman playing the slot when teams go three wide. If Jones continues to play this way, Oglesby is back on the bench, and the fans will resume their chants to get Anthony Henry benched too.

Mike Lombardi said on last week’s show that Jones is not Deion Sanders. Who is these days? If Jones can play nickel corner like this, we’ll all be ecstatic. Jacques Reeves could never sub like this.

Orlando Scandrick

• Thrown at: 1
• Completed: 1
• Yards: 0

Scandrick’s lone throw was a memorable one. He blew up Broncos wideout Glenn Martinez on the goalline; Scandrick tracked his man into the end zone, saw Martinez cutting beneath him, released his original WR and rolled up to pop Martinez. The kid is making big hits on a regular basis. He also came within an eyelash of blocking a field goal and had a 32 yard kickoff return. Those are three good ways to keep yourself on the active roster on Sundays.

Alan Ball

• Thrown at: 4
• Completed: 1
• Yards: 20

Another less-than-meets-the-eye line. Ball took a penalty on one of the other plays, escaped a completion on another play because Marcus Smith tipped the ball and avoided being beaten for a TD on a fade when Patrick Ramsey’s pass floated wide and out of bounds. Ball looked lost on a couple of these plays and needs to make some positive plays to earn another year on the roster.

– Two weeks ago, Oglesby looked like he might force the coaches to keep six corners. He looked pretty good against San Diego but Adam Jones and Orlando Scandrick have probably jumped him in the pecking order. Oglesby still has a decent chance but he’ll need big games against Houston and Minnesota to turn momentum back in his favor. If the decision had to be made today, I think Dallas would keep five corners.

The Sports Doctors 08/19/08 Podcast

In today’s episode, The Sports Doctors discuss the Cowboys’ preseason game against the Denver Broncos from the past Saturday. Tune in and discuss and Rafael talks about the bright spots and low lights of the game.

Selective Perception is Alive and Well in Cowboys Land

“Nobody knows anything…”

– William Goldman

Goldman was a highly successful screenwriter and said that oft-quoted line about Hollywood, but it could apply today, given the knee-jerk reactions in some quarters after yesterday’s loss to Denver.

To those in Hype-land, last night’s perfromance by the first team was “pathetic,” “putrid” and worse. Yeah, so? And if it was, what would it mean? Those same guys were dominant against the Chargers, who will have a better year than Denver. Did the Cowboys become chopped liver in seven days? Did they lose the killer instinct for winning meaningless mid-August games?

For those who need reminding:

• Dallas’ record at this time in ‘07: 2-0.
• New England’s record at this time in ‘07: 0-2.
• Miami’s record at this time in ‘07: 2-0.

Nobody knows anything at this point, at least based on pre-season performances.

You can say the Cowboys hot start helped propel them to a strong season, but that would be logically inconsistent. Because:

Dallas went 0-2 in their last two pre-season games, finishing 2-2. After last year’s Broncos game, Denver was hot because the Cowboys were blitzing like mad. The third game is supposed to be “the dress rehearsal” and yet Dallas looked awful losing to the Texans.

Do we take the two early wins as being indicative of future performance, or the last two? Or concede that none of these games mean anything?

Last year Wade had “Camp Cupcake.” This year he’s had “Camp Marshmallow.” Yet he was 2-0 last year with the softies. And he’s 0-2 this year with the softies. Do we say that the softness made for a healthier, better team in ‘07 or a weaker, less disciplined team this year? Or again conclude that we can’t conclude anything from the results so far?

I’ll go off camp performance. I’ve watched the last four. In ‘05, Dallas had no pass rush, save for Demarcus Ware, and Bill Parcells was trying to make do with Rob Petitti at RT and Keith Davis at FS. Those gambles went snake eyes and his guys were a disappointing 9-7.

In ‘06, Parcells started with Drew Bledsoe, in spite of hot-shot Tony Romo’s hot camp. In one late camp practice, the Tuna took a long, slow walk to an empty end of the practice field after watching his guys blow assignment after assignment. He looked skywards, as if to say, “why me? Why am I still doing this?” That team lived down to his fears, with a maddening tendency to yo-yo from week to week, playing up to tougher opponents like Indy and playing down to mediocrities like that year’s Raiders.

Last year Romo looked razor sharp in San Antonio, T.O. was unstoppable and the defense showed more athleticism and speed. Those tells carried over to the season, not the up and down pre-season performances.

My point? Camp performances have been pretty consistent indicators of team performance. And this year’s camp was the best of the bunch. The one thing that concerned me was the over-aggressive play of the secondary, which drew a lot of laundry when the real refs arrived.

Seeing Adam Jones‘ play jump up made me feel a lot better. Anthony Henry gave up one big throw, but had his hands on the football that play. He’ll be there. So will Terence Newman. Getting Mike Jenkins farther along his learning curve will help. The special team’s overall performance last night matched the level of attention its received this summer.

Since everybody is tailoring the Cowboys performances to their own biases, I’m taking the liberty of staying calm. The first teamers looked good in Oxnard and they looked good in San Diego. That works for me, last night notwithstanding. The defense looked like it had more rush options and showed that against the Chargers. I’ll rely on those performances.

Hey, I know just as much as anybody else, which at this point is exactly nothing.

Second Units Rise to Meet the Starters in 23-13 Broncos Loss

So, which scenario grabs your attention more — an opening game in which the starters look great in limited play and the second and third teamers look weak, or the second game, where the starters look ragged but the understudies show tremendous improvement?

That was the performance Dallas served up in a 23-13 loss to Denver Saturday night.  The Cowboys starters, so effective against San Diego, lost their edge;  they could stay with the Broncos but could not make the deciding plays.  The defense allowed two long scoring drives because it could not stop a sharp Jay Cutler from converting on third down.  And on the series where they defenders came through, Bradie James handed Denver a “continue your drive free” card by commiting a personal foul after Denver conceded, calling a draw on third and long.

The offense made some plays, with Tony Romo and Terrell Owens connecting for the first time this campaign, but could not string together the good plays and could not overcome 20 yards of penalties on the opening drive.

On the other hand, this was a strong night for new Cowboys.  Let’s run down the list of draftees, trade pickup and young players on the edge:

1.  Felix Jones — continued to show dazzling open field skills.   He took a short opening toss from Brad Johnson, made two Broncos miss, and turned a likely seven or eight yard gain into a 28 yarder.

2.  Mike Jenkins — was beaten on a stop and go by Eddie Royal on Denver’s second drive, and by an option route in the end zone by Brandon Marshall.  The rookie was solid, however and made some big stops as a gunner on special teams.

3.  Martellus Bennett — made the most of his limited opportunities, showing tackle breaking ability on Dallas’ initial 3rd quarter drive.  He also made a stop on a kickoff return at Denver’s 26.

4.  Tashard Choice — blocked a punt in the third quarter and showed toughness as a runner and receiver.

5.  Orlando Scandrick — Had a 32 yard kickoff return and almost blocked the Broncos’ half-ending field goal attempt and forced it wide.  Scandrick later put a wicked hit on a Denver receiver inside the Dallas ten, keeping the Broncos out of the end zone.

6.  Adam Jones — was much, much better tonight than against San Diego.  He was much more in tune with the game’s pace.  He gave up a handful of catches but tackled his man for minimal gains of two to three yard.  His tackling was much better this week.  He just missed an interception for a score and got the Cowboys’ collective pulse racing with a brilliant 24 yard punt return.

7.  Miles Austin — had another strong game, making two impressive catches on Dallas’ lone TD drive, the first a 38 yarder down the right sideline that beat tight Dominique Foxworth coverage and the second a fade over Foxworth for the score.

Austin is also the biggest question mark.  He tackled Broncos returner Andre Hall on the play immediately after his score and took Hall’s shoulder pad directly on his right knee.  The initial diagnosis was a “sprain” and Austin will be re-evaluated today.  Hope the scans don’t find serious damage, because he’s making a serious push for more playing time.

8.  Isaiah Stanback — Had a winding 32 yard kickoff return and caught a tough Johnson skipper just off the turf.  He appears to be making slow, steady progress.

9.  Bobby Carpenter — made a lot of tackles behind the second line, which played much better as a unit this week.

10.  Keon Lattimore — made some big runs in the 4th quarter playing with the third teamers.  He’s earner a more serious look the last two weeks.

11.  Bruce Read — you notice all the big special teams plays today?  His units were vastly improved from last week, showing strong play across the board.  Dallas got big kickoff and punt returns, blocked a punt, forced a bad field goal and had strong punt coverage.

If Read’s guys can bottle this week’s performance, they’ll be in great shape going forward.

It was a fuzzy game for the starters but the backups gave the coaches plenty to study this week.

Why I’m Not Worried About The Special Teams — Yet

The late political pundit Molly Ivins was once asked how she became such a leftist firebrand when she was raised in a conservative Baptist household? “I was baptised several times as a child,” she said with a grin. “I was dropped in the water at least three times… but it never took.”

Molly could have been talking about the Cowboys punt coverage units. They were one of the trouble spots in 2007 and the team did not skimp on time or effort at Oxnard to prepare them for 2008. Every day several segments of each practice were devoted to special teams.

And in each drill, several coaches worked with the players to improve their techniques. Dallas broke every different special teams play into micro pieces, to allow every player to receive one-on-one prep with an assistant. Special teams has received as much attention as you could hope to see, which is why I’m staying far away from the panic button, even after the Cowboys’ woeful performance containing Darren Sproles Saturday night.

The fickle finger of fate will point at Bruce Read if the units don’t develop better consistency this year. However, at this point, I wonder if it’s the core guys on that group, the Justin Rogers, the Deon Andersons, the Kevin Burnetts, the Bobby Carpenters, the Pat Watkins and the like who might be having trouble getting those lessons to take?

Listen to Read’s descriptions of the team’s special teams teaching approach, the number of players he runs through, how much turnover occurs on special teams week to week and the many new return options Dallas has in ‘08:

“Optimism Is Everywhere Around Here!” Cowboys @ Chargers Tailgate Thread

Admit it. Kickoff is still six hours away and you’re already amped.

Let Bradie James pump you up even more:

“Are you ready for some sock-ker!?”

– The Simpsons, mocking Hank Williams Jr.’s tired opening line.

Finally. Real action that everybody can see. For those living in a cave, the NFL Network will broadcast the Cowboys/Chargers game, so get yourself to a friend with cable, or a sports bar. The game will be visible nationwide. It’s only a preseason game, meaning the starters will play at most a quarter. That said, here are some matchups to look for, some rookies to track and where to find them.

When Dallas Has the Ball

– The same starting 11 will return to the field from the Giants playoff game, with Marion Barber now the man at running back. Deon Anderson will play fullback when Dallas goes to its 21 packages (two backs) and Tony Curtis will join Jason Witten when Dallas calls for its 12 sets (two TEs). See how often Martellus Bennett spells Curtis. The more he plays in the first quarter, the more ready the coaches feel he is. He’ll play a lot, regardless.

When the starters are in, take a look to see how Andre Gurode fares against mammoth NT Jamal Williams. And don’t dawdle. Williams sat out the first week of camp and likely won’t play more than a series or two, if he plays at all.

The Chargers front appears a bit dinged. Starting DEs Igor Olashansky and Luis Castillo have missed time with back problems and may also miss the game entirely.

At linebacker, former 49ers ILB Derek Smith will start for Stephen Cooper, who will miss the first month on suspension.

In the secondary, however, the Chargers appear loaded and will challenge the Cowboys receiving corps. Quentin Jammer has resumed with strong ‘07 with a strong training camp. He and Antonio Cromartie will match up against T.O. and Patrick Crayton. Crayton was very strong against league-average CBs but really struggled against blue-chippers, so Dallas may throw away from him if Jammer gets him.

The game will also let us see Chargers 1st rounder Antoine Cason, whom the San Diego scribes call one of the team’s best performers in camp.

Watch to see if Felix Jones gets some reps with the first team. The Cowboys have installed some special sets that get him on the field with Marion Barber and on 3rd down but they may be kept under wraps until the games count.

When the second quarter begins, watch the second line. Doug Free has been working exclusively at left tackle but watch James Marten and Pat McQuistan, who have both been rotating at left guard and right tackle. If Dallas goes all backups, look for a Free, Marten, Cory Proctor, Joe Berger, McQuistan lineup from left tackle to right tackle. Dallas won’t keep all five of these guys, with Berger and Marten probably facing the longest odds at this point.

When San Diego Has the Ball

The Chargers are really beaten up here, so the Dallas starting eleven will match up against a lot of backups. Center Nick Hardwick has yet to practice while rehabbing an injured ankle. Former 49er Jeremy Newberry will take his place until at least October, as Hardwick is expected to miss four games. That said, Newberry is being paced slowly; the 12 year vet’s knees are cartilage deficient.

The Cowboys will also miss three key Chargers skill-position players. WR Vincent Jackson played lights out week one, but strained a hamstring and has missed the last week. He’s out. So is Antonio Gates, who is rehabbing a surgically-repaired big toe and is aiming for the season opener.

Dallas will also miss LaDainian Tomlinson, who will be held out of every pre-season game, according to head coach Norv Turner. Tomlinson has nothing to prove and with the other injuries, Turner will not risk his biggest offensive weapon.

Rookie Watch

Where some Dallas bubble boys are working out:

– Danny Amemdola has been playing the slot, gunner on punt coverage teams, punt and kickoff returner.

– Alonzo Coleman has been playing RB, and coverage on punts and kickoff teams. The same is true for Keon Lattimore. They are both batting to be the 4th running back, if the Cowboys keep four.

– Erik Walden is backing up Demarcus Ware at WOLB and is on the coverage teams as well.

Tuesday Teaser — Cowboys Camp, July 29th

One tasty morsel from yesterday’s notes that somehow missed the post:

In the last 11-on-11 drill the Cowboys offense ran a play from a one back set that had Felix Jones behind quarterback. Jones ran a circle route out of the backfield and crossed in front of linebacker Zach Thomas. Thomas tracked Jones and closed in when the QB checked down with his pass.

I should say that Thomas tried to close, because he never had a chance to make the tackle. Felix (there are always too many Jones on this team, so I’m going to call Felix and Adam by their first names) caught the pass and blew away from the veteran.

Folks, we’ve all mused about the exotic ways that Dallas can use Felix Jones. We’re all wondering if he’ll line up at receiver and if he’ll line up with Marion Barber in a two running back set.

What I saw was one of the most basic plays in the Cowboys playbook. The route is one backs were running a generation ago.

The Cowboys don’t have to do anything crazy with Felix Jones. They just need to get him the ball in space. He’ll do the rest. Wade Phillips compared Felix to Thurman Thomas, whom Wade coached in Buffalo. When I watched Felix make Zach Thomas look like he was wearing cement cleats, I thought of another back who wore Jones’ number 28 — Marshall Faulk. Now, don’t misunderstand me. I know that comparison is not fair. Faulk was a superstar. Jones hasn’t even played his first pro game. However, Felix Jones shows the same receiving skills that made Faulk so dangerous in his prime.

Look forward to that when Dallas visits San Diego a week from Saturday.

Trading Black Hats for White Ones — Or Not?

Duane Thomas once commented that the Dallas Cowboys have never won anything without controversy. Thomas of course generated his fair share of it, but he has a point. Let’s look at some of the Cowboys’ championship seasons and consider the distractions that accompanied each one:

1971 — 1970 Rookie of the Year Thomas is traded during the preseason, has his trade to New England reversed after a bustup with Pats’ coach John Mazur, returns and then plays the season without speaking to his teammates. Meanwhile, Tom Landry employs a quarterback rotation system, which craters in week seven when he alternates Roger Staubach and Craig Morton on each offensive play in an embarrassing loss to a bad Chicago Bears team.

The offense settles down after Staubach is named the starter and the Cowboys run the table.

1993 — The Cowboys have little time to celebrate their third title before Emmitt Smith and Jerry Jones stage a contract showdown. Smith holds out and Dallas stumbes into the season with two losses. The team settles down and swaggers through the playoffs, though it has to overcome several key injuries, namely Mark Stepnoski’s ACL tear, Smith’s separated shoulder and Troy Aikman’s concussion, which wipes out his memory of the Super Bowl.

Simmering beneath the surface is the rift between Jones and Jimmy Johnson, which erupts almost immediately after they accept their second Lombardi trophy. Jimmy clumsily dodges a question in the locker room about his readiness to pursue a third consecutive title and days later mocks Jones on The Tonight Show. The J.J.s part shortly thereafter.

1995 — Dallas pursues it’s third title of the Jones era with the widely-despised Barry Switzer at the helm. Jones picks a fight with the league over sponsorship deals and is served with a lawsuit during a league meeting. The Cowboys are ripped for “buying a title” after they outbid San Francisco for Deion Sanders’ services. The cries for Switzer’s dismissal peak after his two 4th-and-1 gambles fail in Philadelphia. When Dallas beats the Steelers in the Super Bowl the sighs of relief are as loud as the cheers.

It seems the Cowboys require discord to fuel their title runs. Perhaps that’s why the Terry Glenn tiff feels like home; I’d be far more worried if everything were hunky dory.

I think many Cowboys fans feel the same way. One character trait I’ve noticed in the three plus years of running this site is that the Cowboys nation cannot exist without creating villains on their own team.

Look at the Parcells years. Drew Bledsoe was always the instant scapegoat, even when losses were not directly his fault. More recently, Julius Jones served as a whipping boy for the fans.

Even today, with the Cowboys coming off a 13-3 season, there are several black hats riding in the posse. I give you the Cowboys you love to hate, ‘08 edition:

• Roy Williams
• Terry Glenn
• Marcus Spears
• Bobby Carpenter

and give you these potential baddies:

• Wade Phillips
• Tony Romo
• Anthony Henry
• Adam Jones
• Tank Johnson

a former black hat gone straight:

• Flozell Adams

and these wild cards:

• Greg Ellis
• Terrell Owens

Too much controversy? Too many loose cannons? From my perspective, the blend looks great. The Cowboys thrive on crazy and Jerry has done his best the past two years to raise the instability quotient. Outsiders may deride his gambles on T.O. and the former Pacman Jones but team history suggests he’s right where he needs to be.

Terry Glenn: No News is No News; Choice Signs

Update: The rookies are signing on cue. 4th round pick Tashard Choice has agreed to terms, joining Orlando Scandrick and Erik Walden as rookie signees. 1st-rounders Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins and 2nd rounder Martellus Bennett have yet to ink contracts.

I just spoke to a source who tells me that negotiations between the team and Terry Glenn are ongoing and that the parties hope to get his status resolved before the team leaves for Oxnard tomorrow. Team officials were mum on the likelihood of a new agreement and on what it would entail. Know that talks continue, and are probably underway as you read this.

More as I learn it.

I asked about rookie negotiations and was told that no surprises are expected. The team’s MO in recent years has been to sign all its picks in the days just before camp. Since Dallas’ highest pick was 22nd overall, I don’t foresee any holdouts. We’ll see.

– Your factoid of the day: this is Jerry Jones‘ 20th season as Cowboys owner. By comparison, Clint Murchison owned the club for 24 years. Jerry has the new stadium coming on schedule next year, the Super Bowl in 2011 and a team entering its prime winning window. There’s no doubt he’ll exceed Murchison’s tenure in 2013.

‘Goin to Camp

Doing some last minute packing before heading out to the airport early tomorrow morning. Some updates:

1. We are in fact mediots now. I’m covering camp for KSOX, 1240 AM in the Rio Grande Valley Texas, and will roll out a camp show called “The Sports Doctors” one week from today. It will air Tuesdays through Fridays from 5 to 6 pm Central Time.

As KSOX is an ESPN radio affiliate, I have full credentials and will compile as many interviews as I can until my recorder melts.

2. We’re planning on live streaming the shows on this site. There’s one potential fly in our currently pure ointment. Hurricane Dolly is roaring towards the RGV and will make landfall some time tomorrow afternoon. We’re hopeful it will blow through but could slow our program prep, as everybody there is girding for the storm. We’re nonetheless optimistic that the program will be ready to go on the 29th as scheduled.

2A. We have a two week camp deal with an option for the season. We want to show the strongest possible support and want to make the show as accessable to our blog regulars as possible. KSOX does not have a toll-free number, so we’ll set up a program thread every afternoon that will let you post questions. We’ll be watching the thread and will get to as many questions as we can. We have some local give aways and are looking for sponsors and promotions to make our ‘net audience happy as well.

The more feedback they see from you, the more leverage we’ll have in two weeks. We want the show to run long term, so the more questions and comments we get from around the country and from our foreign friends, the better the odds that we’ll keep going. If the station picks up the option, we’ll have the ability to cover games in person all season. Your short-term support will be repaid in higher-quality, long-term coverage.

3. I will be posting reports on site as usual starting Friday and have permission to post interviews on site as well. I’m working with Raul on this and will provide a schedule as soon as I have it.

Put your eye black on. It’s camp time!

Dallas May Be America’s Team…

but the Patriots are Hungary’s Team, dammit!

Check out this site.

It seems the Hungarians also love themselves some Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cowboys, based on visitors, are mid-pack.

Coming Attactions, Rock-Hard Performance Boosters and a Final Camp Pitch

– The NFL year is heading farther into the dead zone, with the coaches due to take their vacations before the camp grind begins. The team did release its camp schedule so we have a target. Workouts begin on July 25th, just four weeks from today.

We’re not slowing down here at BSR. I’m interviewing K.C. Joyner tonight and will publish his comments over the weekend. We’ll be talking about Adam Jones, the Cowboys secondary in general, T.O., possible second wideouts, Tony Romo and a host of other topics.

K.C. will also discuss Scientific Football 2008, which is about to be released, and a new cornerback tracking feature that his web site will feature this year. Check in for that.

We’re also going to talk about Cowboys fandom with the folks at Barry Switzer Ate My Hamster Too, better known as The Hamster, a U.K.-based Cowboys fanzine that’s been around since the mid ’90s. The lads will tell us what it’s like to root for the good team from almost half way around the globe. I wonder if they have any Page 3 girls for their fanzine? Hmmmm, I wonder if we can get some Page 3 girls for BSR!? (Page 3 Girls are a “feature” of The Sun, the biggest daily “red top” in England. Warning — may not be work safe.)

– They’re not just corking their bats any more — A few years ago, when Viagra was first introduced, an NBA official joked that “the league should test for a lot of drugs but if it really wants to scare the players, it should announce its testing for Viagra.”

Seems there might be something to that line. Sports officials now think the little blue pill might enhance on-field performance. The major sports leagues might just have to test for it after all — or put medicine jars full of them in every trainers room!

Viva Viagra indeed.

Finally — we’re in the home stretch of our fund drive. We’re at $1,835 now and are closing in on $2,000, which is the amount which would make it comfortable for me to cover all two initial weeks of camp. I’m closing the drive on Monday, so pitch in if you can and help us reach our goal.

A big thanks to the generous people who have already donated. We won’t let you down.
