Clark is getting some press this week of the "he's not getting any press" variety: ESPN has a video asking: so why can't he win the Heisman ? (Answer in the form of a question: Who cares about the Heisman') Speaking of Heisman : Clark didn't make the cut on the simis list. Bill Kline is beginning to see a trend in Paterno's cryptic pressers: This is how Paterno normally begins his campaigns...

Blogging The Boys (Free subscription) | 08/09/2009

The Cowboys donned shoulder pads and shorts this afternoon, adding a bit more punch to a morning workout in shirts and shorts. The focus continued on special teams and on working the Cowboys offense when the ball is between the 20s. The secondary saw some shuffling, as both starting corners, Terence Newman and Mike Jenkins sat out after suffering injuries this morning. Latest word is that neither appears...

Second-year cornerback Mike Jenkins was carted off the field during Saturday's morning practice after suffering an apparent ankle injury in team drills. Jenkins is undergoing further tests, but the Cowboys don't know the severity of his injury yet. It doesn't appear to be a high ankle sprain, however.

Full pads for today's affair. Stephen Hodge , Tim Anderson still rehabbing. One thing I like, DeAngelo Smith was out on the field 30 minutes before practice catching punts from the machine. Nice to see a rookie dedicated like that. Started out with special teams drills again, and then went into some punts. Mat McBriar was crushing the punts today, high and far. Catching punts: Felix Jones , Terence...

Dallas Cowboys Training Camp: The Bubble Boys

Blogging The Boys (Free subscription) | 07/22/2009

Who are the Bubble Boys this year? Who are the Cowboy players standing on the proverbial bubble this training camp? Almost all rookies are somewhat on the bubble unless they are top-round draft picks. I'm defining a Bubble Boy as a veteran player, who has not broken into the starting lineup and has yet to show themselves to be a reliable backup. At some point the team has to make a change if a player...

Mike Jenkins: Training to Be the Starter

Blogging The Boys (Free subscription) | 07/21/2009

For the past two seasons, we have watched the Cowboys complete an overhaul at the cornerback position. Jacques Reeves and Nate Jones departed via free agency, Adam Jones was waived soon after last season's end, and veteran starter Anthony Henry was traded. Since 2007, only Terence Newman , Alan Ball , and Courtney Brown remain; and the coaching staff seems unsettled as to whether Ball and/or Brown...
