Mick Shots - Aug. 17
Don’t know if this will be the last move at the receiver position, but it’s the first one, the Cowboys acquiring fourth-year receiver Charlie Adams from Denver for a sixth-round pick. Tried to tell you guys the Cowboys were looking for a depth guy, not a starting-quality guy.
This means the Cowboys still might be able to use linebacker Scott Shanle and defensive end Kenyon Coleman, seemingly being showcased this past week for a possible trade, to acquire a backup nose tackle if one of the young guys don’t step up or possibly another offensive lineman. We should learn more about that Monday night when veteran Jason Fabini will play the first half of the preseason game at right tackle. Parcells has said Fabini needs to show him something soon. “When you get a player his age, you worry about it,” Parcells said of the veteran tackle who turns 32 on Aug. 25.
Just when I was about to write the offensive line was looking better, and it has been the last few days, those guys didn’t perform very well in Thursday’s morning practice, leaving Parcells giving them the eye after throwing the first team off the practice field for giving up four sacks in the first six snaps of team drills.
Guess who uttered these phrases: “It’s always interesting to see if they dip their toes in the water.” And this: “If he can help us, then we can bring him to the game.” And this: “I can only go by what we see.” And one last one: “At some point we got to see something.” If you guessed Parcells, you’re dead wrong. Try Parcells South, Sean Payton, now the head coach of the New Orleans Saints, whom the Cowboys face in Monday’s preseason game in Shreveport, La.
