PrintIt's here! The 2010 Dallas Cowboys Training Camp begins today, which means awesome camp coverage by your BTB team. Raf and I will be out there fighting the tens of thousands of weekenders for the best views and the objective perspective that you all crave so much!
While Raf breaks down all the position battles and X's-and-O's, I will be doing live updates on Twitter (which also forward to BTB's Facebook). Check in regularly to get your fix...
Keep an eye on the "BTB on Facebook" box down below the FanShots for updates. And, of course, after practice BTB will roll out its inaugural 2010 camp report. Can't wait!
In the spirit of new media and to pump you up even more, I have collected a random bunch of anticipatory tweets from some of your favorite Cowboys over the last few days. Make the jump to read them, and then... Open Thread time!

love his biblical tweets, read um daily!
Interesting choice by him-has a chip on his shoulder??
And TChoice seems pretty serious too.
Nothing wrong at all with feeling a sense of competition, and neither of those guys wants to just hand the job to Felix.
Just the way it should be!

yes sir
strongly adise taking a look into what he posts…. always good stuff. Alot about MB3 that doesnt compute with his plaing style
1. He is a pianist and rocks it like brian mcknight
2. He’s a quiet and seemingly humble, timid guy
3. Very religeous, every day is a new post (usually from Psalms) on his twitter account

he played some on Hard Knocks
they contrasted his nightlife with T.O.
Man i'm so pumped for Camp....Football Resumes TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

choice
What’s up with choice. I hope he stays motivated. His time will come to be a superstar just ask miles austin
Really?! Really?!
by thebigham on Jul 24, 2010 12:41 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
False
You think he’s going to ge any shots with Felix & Barber? Also who’d Austi have to go through to get a stating spot hmmmm?
I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

TO and Roy Williams
They released TO becuase Miles showed them something and RW went down. it’s a valid comparison. If you have the talent, you let the comptetion motivate you and you stay ready for the day your chance comes. If either MBIII or Felix gets injured suddenly Choice is getting serious carries.
FREE THE OGLETREE!!!
Barber will be watching Choice (and Felix even more) from the sidelines
Felix 50%
Choice 33%
Barber, well, that leaves an awkward 17%.
But unfortunately, someone will get hurt in this group and solve this problem, let’s just hope it’s not FJones.

I'd say the second part of it is very realistic
I’ll put money on Choice getting the majority of the carries in at least one game this year.
why not?
Felix is the most talented. He was already getting more carries as last year ended.
Choice is young and very good.
Barber’s got wear and tear on those legs of his-the key for any RB.

by Realist Larry on Jul 24, 2010 2:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Barber was hurt too,
Barber has not been over used as far as I can tell. Jones is the more talented back in my opinion, but 17% is not realistic.
by Musiccitynorm on Jul 24, 2010 2:12 PM CDT up reply actions
Barber had a torn quad last year
How about giving the guysome credit for playing through a very painful injury?
Choice is good, but Barber is a BEAST. How quickly some of you forget. Do I really need to find the video of his run against the Pats in ’08 to remind you???
by ChrisRichey on Jul 24, 2010 2:26 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Barber lost weight in the off season.
That could be a good think, it helps his speed and quickness, but it hurts his power running game.
He's back to the same weight...
he was when he first earned the Barbarian nickname. It wasn’t as much about his weight as it was his attitude. I don’t think he’s lost the attitude.

we'll just have to come back and revisit this in the Fall
I just don’t think coming back from an injury of that type is going to be so easy.
He wasn’t the quickest to begin with-and, he’s too small to keep up his “power” running.
He’s a good player, could start for many teams. But on this team he’s 3rd best.

What other players haven't come back from that injury?
Just curious what you’re basing that opinion on…
by ChrisRichey on Jul 24, 2010 3:46 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
That's a fair question, and I don't have specific examples
But I’m not saying he won’t “come back from” the injury. He will be back, and he’ll be pretty good.
Again, he’s a starter on many NFL teams.
But generally speaking, and you’re a Dr. right, so you can chime in,
but my feeling is muscle tears and rips, especially in guys with thighs the size he has and who rely on those muscles, when the players come back they will lose just a small % of “burst” or whatever you want to call it. Barber’s not old, but he’s nearing 1000 very tough carries, and I’d guess even after full healing he’ll be 90 of what he was in terms of quickness.
And for an NFL RB, that’s a huge difference.
Partly due to the injury, partly due to just being another year older. Also, I know what I saw w/my eyes last year, and he just was not running well.
What’s your opinion?

Your eyes were right
he was hurt last year.
My opinion is I’m not a doctor an haven’t heard of another player with a hole in their quad, but you’re the first person Ive heard claim he wouldn’t be able to return at 100%.
Injuries aren’t what they were 20 years ago, sports medicine has come a looooong way.
Where is wmillion when you need him?
by ChrisRichey on Jul 24, 2010 5:06 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Hey, maybe he comes back and tears up the league-I'm all for that!
Also, I know someone who posts here has medical background, thought it was you maybe….
Anyways, it’s not just about him-I just really think Felix Jones is going to be a true stud and a star.

Spears sounds angry
Is he feeling like he has to prove himself? Getting paid less than your backups has to be a little worrisome.
Maybe he’ll finally have the mean streak a DE is supposed to have.
So pardon my disposition; why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?

Man Dez must be talking to Irvin
This kid seems to be doing and saying all the right things, produce on the field and this kid will be an instant leader.
by Musiccitynorm on Jul 24, 2010 2:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Leader in YAC maybe?
Maybe even in lowest percentage of drops.
He could quietly lead by example, but I doubt he’ll be an outspoken leader in the locker room for at least the first few seasons. After that, who knows? Anything could happen.

Leaders- glad you asked,
I’ve trained a lot of Master Plumbers in my life time. They are not football players but I think what I learned applies.
Respect is not given it is earned. Yell, threaten, or jump up and down it does no good if you can’t do your job.
Some of the best leaders are quit guys, they lad by example and when they speak you listen.
by Musiccitynorm on Jul 25, 2010 9:52 AM CDT up reply actions
There are different type of leaders.
You’re right.
You don’t have to speak up and be a loudmouth to be a leader.
AFB Condensed- New name, same flavor.
Quoting yourself doesn't require your own name attached to it. I'm going to assume if there isn't anyone else's name attached it's yours.
This little non event has already created national headlines.
Among the first to report this momentous event:
Syracuse.com – New York
WCHS.com – West Virginia
cbssports.com – national
NBCsports.com – national

This could be a make or break year for him
He does not need any set backs, and depending on what his “non football” injury was caused by this not a good start.

Todd Archer says: “He suffered the injury in workouts not under the Cowboys’ supervision.” Whatever that means.
by One.Cool.Customer on Jul 24, 2010 3:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I am not sure but if the Cowboy brass is throwing that line out there
it makes me wonder if the injury is serious

First
thing that jumps out at me after reading the BTB tweets is that Watkins might hang on for another year. Sounds like he got all the reps at backup S and AOA was strictly a corner on day one. Only the first day, but somewhat of a surprising development IMO.
by Satch30 on Jul 24, 2010 4:14 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
My bad...I was looking at Cletis Gordon (26) and tweeted AOA.
Stupid me cuz AOA was working backpedal drills only.
Gotta get up to date with all these new jersey #s!

Everyone should check out Gerald Sensabaugh's ustreams if they can
I did once last year and he ended up sending me a free signed t-shirt bc i won some random trivia game he was playing with the fans. Pretty cool.
Putting together Practice Report #1 right now, BTBers.
Give us about 30 minutes for the nice, juicy steak of information.
