DMN Blog: WR coach thinks Pacman can make plays on offense

by Tim MacMahon

Jerry Jones mentioned a few weeks ago the possibility of Pacman Jones playing some offense this season. At least one member of the Cowboys' coaching staff is on board with the idea.

Ray Sherman was the Titans' receivers coach during Pacman's time in Tennessee, so he knows better than anyone around these parts what kind of potential Pacman has with the ball in his hands.

"He was a guy that we put in and spot played," Sherman said. "He did some reverses and did some things out of the backfield. He's very explosive. When he gets his hands on the ball, he's a guy that can make people miss. He's a very explosive player.

"Some of the things we practiced with him we didn't use in ballgames. He's a very talented one man. People will see once he returns a punt or a kickoff, he's one of the most explosive guys I've ever been around."

Pacman hasn't played any offense in the OTA workouts we've seen, and Sherman said it'd be up to Wade Phillips whether No. 21 sees any time on that side of the ball. Not sure how well Sherman knows Jerry.
