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.
