Dallas Cowboys Wrap Up Minicamp at AT&T Stadium

June 20, 2014 by Ryan Puckett

The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their mandatory minicamp on Thursday at AT&T Stadium.  From all accounts it was a very productive camp that gave the coaches and players a look at what they can expect when they get to training camp on July 22.

Here is a position by position break down of what went on during this three day minicamp.

Wide Receivers

  • Dez Bryant is maybe in the best shape of his career and working very hard at getting better.

    Bryan appears poised to have a great season.

  • Terrance Williams made strides during this camp, should be the #2 receiver and have a great year.
  • Cole Beasley has been working hard at expanding his repertoire by running deeper routes and lining up outside some.
  • Rookie Devin Street did some good things at camp, needs to continue to improve, but should make the team.

Offensive Line

  • Starters included:  LT Tyron Smith, LG will be a battle between Mackenzy Bernadeau and Ronald Leary, C Travis Frederick, RG Zack Martin, RT Doug Free.

Tight Ends

  • Gavin Escobar will have an expanded role with Linehan and has gotten bigger and stronger during the offseason.
  • The Cowboys have 4 good TEs on the roster as of right now.

Quarterback

  • Tony Romo is looking great and could play today if he had to.

    Romo has said he is healthy enough to play now if the Cowboys had a game.

  • Brandon Wheeden showed some good things, but also struggled with his accuracy at times.
  • The Kyle Orton saga is still going on and will keep going on for the time being.

Fullback

  • Not much news from this position.  It is hard to see what they can do without pads.

Running Back

  • Reportedly Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan wants to use Lance Dunbar like Reggie Bush gets used in Detroit.
  • Cowboys signed Ryan Williams, but it is hard to tell what he can do until the pads come on.

Defensive Ends

  • Tyrone Crawford and Jeremy Mincey have been working with 1st team.  They both have prototype size and speed and a definite upgrade from last year.
  • Rookie DeMarcus Lawrence has impressed coaches with his strength.  They are also impressed with his big strong hands, which are vital for defensive linemen.

Defensive Tackle

  • Terrell McClain has opened eyes with his play.  Coaches think he could play the 3 tech and the 1 tech.
  • Henry Melton is still out nursing his injury.
  • Davon Coleman made a big play on the last play of camp leading to an interception.

Linebackers

  • It appears that Justin Durant and Anthony Hitchens will battle for the middle spot.
  • Bruce Carter has shown that his understanding of pass coverage has gotten a lot better.
  • Devonte Holloman and Kyle Wilbur will battle for the strong side linebacker spot.

Cornerbacks

  • Morris Claiborne is finally starting to show that he can play.  He appears to be better at man coverage than zone.
  • Rookie Terrance Mitchell has been the surprise at this position by far.  He will battle B. W. Webb for a roster spot.
  • Tyler Patmon has also made some good plays and opened some eyes during camp.

Safety

  • Barry Church will probably be the starter at strong safety.  Free safety is wide open.
  • Rookie Ahmad Dixon is a very good box safety, but showed some improvement in pass coverage.
  • Jakar Hamilton appears to be the best cover safety and could battle for a starting spot.

The Cowboys have players with prototype size and speed at every position.  The Cowboys are a better team on paper than they were last year for sure.  Barring any more major injuries they appear to be rolling along towards a successful season with the playoffs in their sights.
