The Dallas Cowboys rookie draft picks pose for a photo after rookie minicamp at Valley Ranch in Irving, Texas, Friday, May 1, 2009.

You guys might have noticed that lately we've been posting a few more photos. That's because SB Nation has struck a deal with the AP for some of their photos to use on our blogs. The deal was signed a couple of months ago, but since nothing newsworthy was happening out at the Ranch, at least nothing that photographers would show up for, we didn't really have any pictures to use. But now that things are starting to happen, we'll occasionally get bursts of new photos. Like a rookie mini-camp.

So we'll be using the photos when we have them. Like today, the photos of the rookie camp came up for us almost immediately and one was used one in the previous post. The thing we haven't made clear is that you can browse other photos linked to the same event. So go to the pic in the VRR below and click on it. You'll be taken to a gallery of photos. Or click on the one in this post, it takes you to the same gallery.

Now, admittedly, the photographer assigned to Dallas for this event could have taken some better, action shots - but we take what we get. Anyway, the point is we'll be using more photos and just because we only put one up on a post, doesn't mean there aren't more waiting a click away.

buehler

man how i wonder about this guy. he has impressive measurables…for a safety even, 6’2’’/227/4.56/25 reps. i know he went to usc but you have to wonder why he wasn’t at least a backup for any other position

but even if it doesn’t end up being a sexy pick, i think this will be awesome for our kick coverage. huge leg & big hitter for a kicker should be good

the easiest way to get that extra roster spot is to get rid of our long-snapper…but he’s so steady! anyway, super intrigued about buehler…

What's easy

about cutting a reliable long snapper?

Keep doing what you been doing, keep getting what you been getting.

Carroll didn't want to get him hurt, he was USC's only kicker

we don’t have that problem, if Buehler gets hurt on ST or another position, we always have Folk to kickoff.

When you try to look at the photos it should open a new window, not take you off the article. It’s not hard to do and will make things easier for people who start reading and then notice shiny new pictures.

Very true

If i only want to read the “new” entries since my last visit (which are visibly easy to find because they are highlighted) BUT I click a photograph at the top (which takes me to a different page), THEN when I return to the original article – ALL the “new” entries are no longer highlighted and sometimes difficult to find in a long list of posts.

Opening pictures in a new window would be great!!!!

I'll pass along that info

Normally, I could code the HTML to open a new window, but the pictures are placed in through a template process that doesn’t allow me access to the code. On the one hand, it’s great because it’s very easy for the authors to use, but the downside right now is I can’t change the code.

I will ask for the ability to make the photo galleries in a new window, hopefully the tech guys for SBN will accommodate the request at some point.

Hhold down the Ctrl key

when you click on the link and that will open the target in a new tab. Or, did I misunderstand the problem?

Unlike a Cowboys' season, in life, there may not be a next year.

Back in the house!

Hey guys…after a year of pretty drastic changes in my life, things have settled down and I am looking forward to getting back on BTB more often. I am very excited about the upcoming cowboys season, despite the negative atmospher that seems to be surrounding this team heading in to the season. I love Cowboys football and thiink there is a lot of upside to this team. I think we have a lot of hard work ahead, but if the team sticks together, things should be interesting.

Beware D-Ware

Haven't heard

a word about Brewster. His selection is just as important to me that Williams. How is he looking so far???

Changing my mind

I have not been happy about last week’s draft.

I am beginning to re-think (research does help) some of our picks: D. Buehler is most impressive with his kick offs. This will be a big plus for our defense. If he can get 50% Touchback (or anything near it) he will have serious impact on some games. I was wrong about him. If he can help out in the defensive back field ever now and then – so much the better.

I am still not sure about the QB pick. But, it would be nice to have a long term back-up QB instead of looking (needing) for one every year.

I wonder how many of the 12 need to make the team for this to be call a good draft?

I live and die with the Dallas Cowboys

In an earlier post

Raf suggested that we must hit on FOUR keepers for this to be a good draft

Only time will tell

about last weeks draft. Picking a kicker & QB meens that we will have to carry 2 kickers & 3 QB’s on the roster. I hate the idea of having to carry 2 kickers but if Folk can’t kick off then I guess it’s the best thing. The Brewster pick will be big for me. Dallas can’t afford to have him be a total bust like some of the recent OL picks turned out to be. I was surprised to read that Brewster acyually failed another teams physical at the combine. I did like some of the DB picks later in the draft (Hamlin & the Cinci boys). If we can have 1 or two of them hit it will be a good. Brewster started off at RL yesterday so I’m assuming that Doug Free will be the back-up LT??
