Sam Hurd anxious to get season rolling

8:50 PM Tue, Aug 04, 2009 |
George Riba

Cowboy's wide receiver Sam Hurd played in just three games last season which is why he is ready to get this season going. "I consider myself a much wiser guy because I've seen a lot of older guys in front of me," says Hurd.

There is lots of work to be done for Hurd and not much time to do it. "You got to get back into the groove," says Hurd. And that applies to the entire wide receiver unit. "Tony Romo didn't have Roy (Williams) the wh...



Our first training camp fight

"And in this corner, a 6-8 tackle from Boston College ... Marc Colombo!!!"

"And in the other corner, a 6-4 nose tackle from Auburn ... Jay Ratliff!!!"

Here was the play: Bobby Carpenter batted a Tony Romo pass straight up in the air with his left hand, then made the interception and started running. I looked at the tape a couple times since the play and saw that Colombo was actually in front of Ratliff after the INT; both are i...

Dale is getting into the mix today - two questions from Hansen already (has to be a new record).

Cowboys PR man Rich Dalrymple met with the media at practice today and asked us not to show and talk about it when the Cowboys practice an odd formation (wildcat, for example). The Cowboys don't want opposing coaches to have a chance to see that until the real games start.

Dale asked Phillips whether he thinks that it makes any diff...



Phillips press conference

Ted Madden

Notes from Tuesday's presser:

Phillips' dad was at practice, and afterward Phillips said that his dad (Bum Phillips, former Houston Oilers coach) notices a lot of things, and he noticed today that players who weren't actively participating in drills were concentrating on them anyway. That's a good sign.

We had our first fight at practice - after a Bobby Carpenter interception, Jay Ratliff knocked down Marc Colombo, and Colombo ...

Dale Hansen

Cowboys have finally given in to the paranoia that affects so many coaches in the nfl ..... We're being told now that we can't report on any new plays the Cowboys might be working on in practice.

29 years at Cowboys camp and the next new play in camp will be the 1st new play I see ... But maybe they have some big secret plan they need to work on now and then spring it on Tampa Bay next month.

I don't care a...
