The Cowboys have begun the padded practices portion of training camp and it has brought some pleasantries on the defensive end of the ball. Some special moments brought forth by Christian Parker and his defensive schemes.
In Day 1 the defense had dominated on all sides and phases of the ball. Standouts from all levels on the defense were noticed and the offense had a rough go of it because of some special players.
Colbie Durant and Shavon Revel impressed at outside corner, something the Cowboys have really truly missed since the Byron Jones days. What stood out seemed to be the physicality on Lamb and Pickens on goal-line routes and short routes. Durant also had a nice interception in the redzone: https://x.com/JoeJHoyt/status/2084364759840051201/video/1
Caleb Downs highlighted his versatility with his performance in the run game. Christian Parker has highlighted his ability to fill gaps and make stops on RBS have taken notice.
As most of you have seen, DMO shot through the gap and laid a good hit on Hunter Luepke. He has also flashed his impressive speed and motor this camp and Jayshawn Barnham is looking more and more like an absolute stud.
In the second day, Prescott and the offense responded. Yesterday it seemed like Prescott looked Lamb's way a ton, but today he focused more and more on George Pickens and he saw plenty of action.
Revel, Devin Moore, and Durant still had good days, didn't see a ton of success in the passing game in the outside section which is a good sign.
Tyler Guyton all but locked up the starting LT position which is a good indicator of his performance in Camp, the entire offensive line was good today keeping Dak clean for most of it.
Jayden Blue continues to shine and impress alongside Javonte Williams, and the Cowboys were serious about incorporating the two in a screen game, as they featured a bunch of that.
Lastly, much to my chagrin, Kavontae Turpin seems to be more and more involved in the pass game. Look if he takes a leap this season in terms of his offensive game I'm all for it, but his primary focus should be special teams.
