DMN Blog: "The King's Back" (Owens)

'The King's Back'

That was the lyric from the Jay-Z song that blared out of the boom box in T.O.'s locker as the media access period ended. Figured it was fitting for his return to Valley Ranch.

No. 81, who was the only player wearing white shorts, put on a popcorn-worthy show during practice.

Not sure how much of the playbook he knows, but T.O. has the fly route down pat. He caught two deep balls from Tony Romo for touchdowns, beating Anthony Henry and Jacques Reeves. T.O. had a couple steps on Henry and made a nice adjustment on a ball thrown slightly behind him.

He did have one drop, but let's give some credit to future UFL star CB Joey Thomas. T.O. got both hands on the ball after running a crossing route, but Thomas got a hand in there before T.O. could tuck it in.

T.O. chatted up a couple of his favorite reporters -- a group that doesn't include me yet -- but he didn't talk on the record. That gives us something to look forward to this weekend.
