I don't know much about ST's but just from what they have shown how the kickoffs would likely look, it seems KR will be better suited with a shifty, quick returner than someone that has breakaway, straight line speed. I honestly don't know why they would even bother with having separate PR/KR players this year. Covey could and probably should just handle both which might help him stick around. 

It will be interesting to see what kind of players they keep for it that's for sure. It will almost be like a running play with the blocking schemes and such. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep 4 TE again and more LB than we expect. Definitely not a straight line speed play anymore.

How many injuries have occurred to top punt returners?   I don't remember a lot of times where Devin Hester or Brian Mitchell got blown up and injured.  And if its a non-contact injury... those can happen at any time, even practice.   There's inherent risk just in stepping on the field.  This team is far too injury adverse.  Let them play.

Is that Huff on the right ? I thought he'd win for sure, looked like he was just hanging in the park from the look on his face.

He's #0

Huff is far right in white, yes, if that's who you were referring to.

Who's the guy in competition with Brown then

Pretty sure that's McPhearson, but I might be wrong. Looks like him and since both aren't wearing sherseys, they are probably rehabbing still.

Fangio is so old and curmudgeonly, it's pretty funny

The last old and curmudgeonly D coordinator we had was superb. Let's hope.

One of their bloggers brought up Miles Sanders to Dallas. I think that would make a lot of sense for them and for the Panthers.

That SHOULD be a no brainer for Dallas.

McPhearson was on the far far left and wearing his #27 at the end of the video.

I jokingly said Covey, but I thought it was Gainwell?

Gainwell is the guy holding the hex bar on the right.

Good catch. People on Twitter say its Gainwell and the tattoos match up.

Yea, the guy competing is Gainwell. He looks noticeably bigger.

You know who didn't look bigger?  Nakobe Dean

That was a kickoff, not a punt.  Different animal.

Yeah, I was saying the guy competing with Brown. I realize now I quoted the wrong GreenDestiny quote, should have been:

Why even risk it? It's silly when when you have comparable talent for the job is the point.

Because its football, and the goal is to get the best players on the field as often as possible.

4 TE seems like one too many for the 53. Especially if Wilson sticks as our Big Receiver

It's Gainwell

If he's only marginally better or perhaps not better at all... no point in risking it. Keeping the best players on the field as often as possible also includes not exposing them to unnecessary risk. Let's agree to disagree we're just talking in circles now.

I'm going to leave this here:

The 8th active OL is free so having 8 active is a no brainer.  Long time between May and September to see who shows the greatest scholarship at Stoutland University. 

Huh?

I think Shipley, Smith or DeJean might be better suited.

If you have 8 OL active, you can have 48 active players. If you don't have 8 active OL, you can only have 47 active players on gameday.

BVS might be a backup LB, but dude is jacked. Gainwell's upper body looks significantly bigger. They may have lost Boston Scott, but Bryce Huff is doing his best to keep his likeliness around. Good to see Sidney Brown surrounded by the team during rehab. Looks like Jalen Carter, Cam Jurgens and Jordan Davis are at the heart of this. Small observation but that next young core of leaders stepping up would be terrific. 

 

Oh sheet, Kenny G got into some of Lane's gear in the offseason.
