Slackman dogs it at Cowboys practice--Live Report

Adam “Pacman” Jones reportedly wants to drop the “Pacman” moniker. OK, here’s a new one: Slackman. As in slacker. Working on kick returns at Cowboys camp, Jones looked like he was above all this silly practice stuff. While Felix Jones worked hard on his kick returns--running tough, knees high, good cuts, impressive bursts of speed—Slackman jogged through his efforts, challenging neither himself nor his teammates. Not a good sign as far as his focus and determination are concerned. He seemed to have that “I can wait and turn it on in a game” attitude, which, if history tells us anything, amounts to famous last words.

If you’re shopping for defensive backs, or expect Slackman to be the next Devin Hester and get some points on kick returns, he looked like a long shot at best on this practice day.

T.O. still rules--live report from Cowboys Camp

From Cowboys Training Camp in Oxnard, CA.

Terrell Owens continues to be the fan favorite on the team. From the looks of it, he won’t disappoint again this year. Nary a ball thrown his way hit the ground in practice today. Physically, he’s his usual stunning self. And the wit remains in high gear: Owens wouldn’t directly respond to the hundreds of fans lining the chain link fence around the practice field Wednesday morning, most of them mooing “T.O.! Teee—oooo!,” but he did inquire of no one in particular, “Where’s my Starbucks?” And later, when one fan shouted, “T.O., I got my popcorn ready!” Owens nodded his helmted head knowingly.

Owens is ready to play, and he’s a smart first pick at wide receiver.
