Wade Phillips press conference 9/4/08 - Terence Newman injury update
Paraphrase of Wade Phillips' press conference today.
Kosier, Spencer, Hurd and Austin didn’t practice, the same thing all week. It was a good practice, they were into it, I want it to be this way all the time, excited, focused. I want it to feel like the first week, every week of the season. Be excited about playing every week. We did blitz work on offense and defense, we emphasized the running game on both sides of the ball, and tomorrow we’ll work the redzone, short yardage stuff.

Aces in their places.
So Wade thinks that we should have our best players on the field, including special teams, and that we will used Pacman and Felix in the return game and Roy Williams covering kickoffs. I guess I wasn’t crazy after all when I supported those things. Maybe we’ll see Romo on the kickoff team, too. ;)
I know a lot of people didn’t like the Keith Davis pickup, at least not at the expense of Oglesby, but it shows a lot that he just came back and was voted captain. I feel a little better at the thought of him, Roy, Watkins, and Burnett flying down the field on coverage, than I did before.
Not on topic, but the Oglesby move really makes more sense on the basis of money and potential. Oglesby certainly wasn’t that impressive himself in the preseason games, and Ball is taller, cheaper, faster, contributes on special teams, and will be here next year. Why develop a 6th CB that likely won’t ever get on the field or offer anything to the team this year, knowing that he won’t be here next year. At least Ball offers special teams help and could pay dividends next year.
