DMN Blog: Kosier and Watkins practicing/B. Johnson doesn't think he was rusty

by Tim MacMahon

Kyle Kosier is practicing for the first time since re-injuring his foot in the win over the Packers, the only game he has played this season.

We'll find out later whether that means there's a chance that the Cowboys will have their starting left guard for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

SS Pat Watkins is also out there and has a new neck roll. No sign of OLB Anthony Spencer.

Brad Johnson doesn't think he was rusty
by Tim MacMahon

To the untrained eye, Brad Johnson looked pretty bad in Sunday's blowout loss to the Rams. A reporter was probably trying to give Johnson the benefit of the doubt when he asked whether the 40-year-old felt rusty in his first start as a Cowboy.

"I think what was more important was pre-snap penalties and playing from behind, and having some turnovers," Johnson said. "But I feel like I'm throwing the ball well. I feel comfortable in the system. We just have to eliminate those kinds of things, so we don't have to play from behind."

Not to nitpick, but three of the four turnovers were interceptions thrown by Johnson. And the Rams had chances to pick off several other passes.

If Johnson wasn't rusty, the Cowboys are really in trouble.
