DMN Blog: Cowboys Stock Report

by Calvin Watkins

Yes, it's early, but here are some players, the non-starters, who are doing well and not so well.

Stock up

1. Adam Jones. Playing with passion and is all over the field.

2. Tank Johnson. Yeah, Tank is having fun with the fans and on the field.

3. Tashard Choice. Winning the No. 3 running back job with ease.

4. Bobby Carpenter. Yes, Mr. Carpenter is playing with an aggression.

5. Danny Amendola. Running good routes and could earn a job.

Stock down

1. Alonzo Coleman. He's improved from last season, but Choice is better.

2. Richard Bartel. He overthrew a wide-open Terrell Owens and is taking too many sacks.

3. Drew Atchison. Had a pass bounce off his hands that lead to an interception.

4. Mike Jefferson. Running sloppy routes and receivers coach Ray Sherman yelled at
him to get off the field following one play.

5. Brad Johnson. Fell down a few times on handoffs and throws continue to look slow.
