Marcus Spears isn't wasting this offseason. According to Nick Eatman, Spears has used the offseason to bulk up without getting fat. Last year in training camp Spears suffered a MCL sprain - remember how Jerry Jones scared the crap out of us by basically saying he thought the injury was season threatening? But back to the point, Spears said the injury never allowed him to train correctly last year. Anyway, Spears says he's healthy and has had the best offseason of his career.
And although he accomplished that and played last season at 294, Spears now is a little over 300 again, but said it's not a problem.
"I'm a little bulky with the weights and other things I've done," Spears said. "But it's the good weight this time."
Our man Eldorado has reportedly shown up in Big D for his tutoring sessions on the Cowboys offense. Owens has played the West Coast offense his entire pro career and will need to adjust to the Cowboys scheme which involves deeper routes.
Coach Bill Parcells said during the rookie minicamp that Owens would report to Valley Ranch before the veteran camp to sit down with passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach Todd Haley to learn the Cowboys' scheme.
