August 3, 2009 ArchivesRangers fans who kept wondering what might have happened if Edinson Volquez were still wearing a Rangers uniform can move on now. Volquez was traded to Cincinnati for Josh Hamilton and today, he underwent Tommy John surgery. Doctors repaired a torn ulnar collateral ligament and torn flexor mass in his right elbow. He is not expect back for 12 months and more realistically, isn't expected to be back to full form until the 2011...
GeCowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh is expecting big things from the secondary this fall. Sensabaugh, who is in his 6th year in the league, has been around long enough to sense speed. "I know some of these guys are some the fastest guys I've ever played around," says Sensabaugh. "We've got some really fast guys in Orlando Scardrick, Terence Newman, Mike Jenkins and Mike Hawkins, now he's really fast." Today was the first day th...
Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams has a habit of practicing without tightening his helmet strap. So when he lost it during practice after a hit by Cornerback Orlando Scandrick, the questions starting coming. "It didn't bother me none," says Williams. "It's just football." Williams will be taking Terrell Owens spot in the offense this fall, if he can just hang on to his helmet. "I never keep my helmet buckled because I never intend to...
David Buehler is listed as a rookie kicker on the Cowboys roster this season, but apparently he's much more than that. Buehler is expected to be a kickoff specialist this fall thanks to his strong leg which allows him to put the ball in the end zone. But Buehler is also athletic, playing safety in college and running a 4.57 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. And he bench p...
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was with me on Sports Special last night .... and he reminds me again why I do like this guy so much. I know most of you don't think I do because I'm always ripping on him for something ... but the man always keeps coming back for more. He's like one of those pop up boxing dolls we had when we were kids ... the ones with the rounded bottom ... you hit the clown in the face...
The Cowboys with the 3rd day of consecutive 2-a-day workouts and the offense looked awful in the morning session. It was mostly teamwork in the red zone. In fact, the am practice with more 11-on-11 work than we've seen in one single practice so far in camp. Not good for the guys in white jerseys, though. The offensive timing ...
Practice this morning looked more like a scrimmage. Usually, they don't get into team drills (11-on-11) until the second half of practice. Today they jumped into team very early, and did that for the rest of the session (close to an hour). Mostly the offense was working in the red zone, although it wasn't working well. Tony Romo threw a couple of interceptions, one in the end zone, and another when Roy Williams and Orlando Scandrick ar...
ESPN NFL guru Chris Mortensen cruised through the Alamo City this weekend. Mort nice enough to spend a few minutes with me - make sure to check us out on the 1 Minute Drill tonight at 10pm. Find out Mort's favorite player as a kid and the number one reason he thinks the Cowboys playoff-winning drought will end this year. You heard that right, Mort picking the Cowboys to make the playoffs. He thinks quarterback Tony Romo will have a ...
