Scrimmage Encourages Few

I'm not sure if it was the scrimmage but I noticed that the spread on the Dallas game went from Dallas -2.5 to Dallas -3.

Hey Guys!!!!!

I think some of you are getting pretty premature with all your criticism.

Remember they had 6 days in camp. At this point, I think the coaches are more interested in seeing how the "borderline" players do, so they can decide who will be the first cuts.

They pretty much know what they have with the veterans, etc.
I would think a top priority at the moment is still trying to decide who makes the team and who doesn't.
Once that's decided then they can work on the cohesion of the players that do make it. They don't need to see Emmitt, Ship, Blake, etc.
They need to see the guys that are on the cusp, to better be able to make their decisions

I mean "pre-season" doesn't even start for a week yet.

Getting a lot of playing time for many of these guys right now could actually be somewhat of a curse of death. It means they are probably one of the ones "on the bubble" and thus fighting for their lives to not get cut.

As for me, I'm very encouraged by the fact that most of the reports seem to indicate that McCown is deveoping very well, at this point. That's a really big plus as far as I'm concerned.....very, very encouraging.

As has been the trend the past 3 years, each year at this time is seeming a little better, because the overall quality and caliber of the players is improving. There are some tough cuts to be made this year. I think more than last. And last year there was more than the year before, etc.

The development of McCown has certainly been one of the big plusses of camp so far. He seems much more composed, much surer of himslef this year than in the past. Suffice to say, if Blake should go down, we're in a world of doo-doo if McCown doesn't measure up.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the LB corps. I was pretty down on what we had before camp, guess it's time to change my opinion.

See, already the comments are changing to things like this instead of:
