Can you crop the king’s mug out…

And ZOOM in on da hotties with da thingies — heh, heh!!!!!!!

To quote ZZ Top, “I ain’t askin’ for much.”

I could see him miraculously making the 53-man roster. He doesn’t just look like a receiver or punt returner to me. As Jerry put it, he looks like a “ball player”.

Those guys are already showing how ahead they are from the rest of the pack. Really, I think the Cowboys would be more comfortable developing a wideout off this show, rather than a DB. C’mon, would anybody trust any of those guys to defend pro-level receivers?

Of the 2 “H” guys, I’m going Hawkins. I think he not only has enough quickness, he’s young at 22 and fits two areas on this team that noone on the current roster has a hold of: Punt Returner and the Wes Welker-type WR. We have all these big dudes at the split end position; why not shake it up with a little Dante Hall?

It’s good to keep abreast of what the cheerleaders are doing!!

I’m pathetic, I’m actually recording Pros vs Joes. Back to 4th and Long, I like the show too, the production values are really good. It looks to me like the big kid, Montrell is getting a lot of hype from Irvin. Maybe it’s just s set up for some drama later on. It will be interesting to see the winner go up against the real competition during training camp.

The biggest takeaway for me from this show is Irvin himself. I wish JJ could find a spot on the coaching staff for him, especially with all the new, young talent. He sincerely doesn’t understand a player not giving 110% because that’s the way he is about everything and since he has the skins on the wall, he has to be respected.

And by dye jobs I really do mean pubic.

As for Irvin’s show, I haven’t checked it out yet and doubt I will because it reeks too much of reality TV. I don’t even like sniffing that sort of crap even if it is Cowboys related. Best of luck to the eventual winner and may he give the Cowboys kick returns of 45 and 31 yards.

+ 1 fellas; Hawkins is the best fit as he can return punts and is a good change-up to the big receivers we already have. If he makes it happen during camp, he’ll stick…and he has a good heart. It’s he and Holley in a final shoot out on the last episode…in a last episode shocker, Romo is brought in to throw the pigskin with Deion at CB…and Jerry is seen on the sidelines with hand in chin.

I fortunately had the opportunity to watch Andrew Hawkins play in high school since he and his older brother, Artrel Hawkins, who I personally know and played in the NFL for several years (now retired), are from my home town.

The kid was electrifying in high school as once he got into space, it was all over, nobody could catch him. From what his brother tells me, he has legit 4.3 speed. He had some academic problems in college and never graduated, but I’ve talked to the kid and he seems plenty smart enough to learn the pro game, especially if he’s only going to be a ST player anyway. Also, both Artrel and Andrew attended Bishop McCort H.S., a very strict, catholic private school, not the inner city school, so character or discipline issues wouldn’t be a problem with him.

His brother believes he has what it takes to play in the NFL and I believe him, especially from seeing him play first hand. If he wins this competition, I think he has a really legit shot at making the team as a returner, especially given the fact the Cowboys are stressing ST play more, even bringing in a kick off specialist. Why not have a return specialist as well.

But I must say that the defensive backs were wholly unimpressive last night. There is not one of those guys I would ever trust covering receivers for the Cowboys (if there’s no way they would even get that far). Of course, that wasn’t an ideal game situation, and really just a glorified 7 on 7 drill (which tends to favor the offense, since there is no pass rush). But even on the one on one plays, the DB’s failed to make plays on the ball, wouldn’t turn towards the play to find it in the air, and sometime just resorted to tackling the receiver while the ball was being thrown. They just weren’t physical or aggressive at all.

Of course looking at the preview for next week’s show, Irvin saw that as well and the focus will be on physicality in one on one situations. I already know what my favorite quote from the entire show will be, and it hasn’t even happened yet.

Most likely answering a question regarding pass interference:

“THAT’S A STUPID RULE IN SOME STUPID BOOK WRITTEN BY SOME IDIOT WHO NEVER PLAYED THE GAME OF FOOTBALL!!!!”

 Love it.

but Holly has the size to really make a difference. Those two guys stand out to me as well. I hate to admit it, but I’m totally hooked on the show.

I had high hopes that Jackson would make it a long way, but after last night he just looked lazy on defense. If you are safety and there is no deep threat on your side of the field, you’ve got to either attack the ball or go help in coverage. He was just standing there and no one was around him.

His 5’7 size is just not going to be good enough. If he was able to play both ways on special teams as a tackler and returner then I could see it, but we have too many receivers out there with size and potential and also some pretty good players already returning kicks in Felix and Orlando.
