Some quick stuff about the three-day mini-camp.
Stephen Hodge surgery and other notes.
Rookie linebacker Stephen Hodge and wide receiver Travis Wilson each had arthroscopic left knee surgery Tuesday to remove loose cartilage. Both players are expected to be ready when training camp begins in late July.
Hodge, a sixth-round pick, is transitioning from college safety to inside linebacker in the Cowboys' 3-4 scheme and also is expected to contribute on special teams.
Injuries from DC.com plus practice notes.
Missing practice were Nick Folk (hip), Travis Wilson (knee), Sam Hurd (quad), Miles Austin (hamstring), Felix Jones (quad), Rodney Hannah (finger), Justin Rogers (leg), Stephen Hodge (knee), Kyle Kosier (foot), Kevin Ogletree, Isaiah Stanback (knee) and Igor Olshansky (back).
Willie Reid, the newly-signed WR, was also out sick. A lot of WR's not practicing...
To make up for the deficiency Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton were taking reps with the third-team offense, quarterbacked today by Rudy Carpenter.
Rudy Carpenter. Forgot all about that guy!
Archer reports that Romo says: no slim down message from Garrett.
"There was no such meeting," Romo said. "We live in a world where it's sensationalized. When you see something or hear something, you write it. That's completely false. If there's anything those guys tell me, it's to throttle back sometimes just because I do a lot of running playing soccer and basketball and stuff to stay in shape, plus the stuff we do. So when you hear stuff like that, people don't know."
The Star-T gives Sensei some love. Sensabaugh discusses the suggestion that his run defense will be a drop-off from Roy Williams.
"No drop-off," [Gerald] Sensabaugh said. "I was a run-support guy in Jacksonville; in a 4-3 scheme you have a gap, and I took on lead blockers. I had surgery on two shoulders. We did a lot of hitting over there. [But] run-game wise, it’s a lot easier to play the run game here."

I've noticed on BSPN's NFL Live
They don’t even list Sensabaugh under their arrivals list for Dallas, yet they list Matt Stewart. Another minor indication of their disconnect from reality.
Training Camp '09 = Mega Thunder Dome....80 men enter, 53 men leave.

Romo: Slim Down?
He’s not borderline obese Donovan McNabb, who throws up during the super bowl and is seen eating faster than Kobiashi all around Philly. Romo’s not an aesthetic physical specimen, but he can move and puts the ball where it needs to go.

the piece on Marty B
I was thinking this guy was a bit nuts with his posts everwhere on twitter, etc,….. but in the article, he says it all….“It’s better than being out at the strip clubs all night.”
Man, ain’t that the truth, avoiding trouble spots.
Maybe the kid in on to something here.
Have a great year Marty B!
Anomoly............Coming Soon.

Even though Marty B is a bit off...
Has anyone else remembered a player that has went from the Hard Knocks punching bag to pretty much a fan favorite because he is so quircky?
it was weird, I... I mean you probably didn't hear about it because I went under the name of Mike Honcho. But I just wanted you to know that. If you can hear me, if it got into your brain somehow. That I spread my buttcheeks as Mike Honcho.

Yeah he's a character
but he seems to be doing everything else right.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.

Yeah
It also helps that he’s a physical freak of nature. I kind of dig that.

Airforce, even though he's an Aggie?
just kidding, couldn’t resist.

Yeah I know right?
Once they put the blue and silver on, they aren’t Aggies anymore… although Roy Williams is a horn. : )

Funny how that works.....
same with McGee.

Yeah...
Although it’s going to take me a little longer with McGee, last time I remember him on the football field he was flapping his lips to a Texas Longhorn team that was dismantling them.
