* Camp Observations : Brandon Carr's press

IRVING, Texas – You didn’t think we’d go without observations off minicamp practice No. 2, did you? Well, sometimes real life gets in the way and after a little bit of a delay, here we go with some Wednesday notes:

** It’s difficult to gauge offensive line play without pads on, but LG [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] had a nice kick out block of LB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to propel [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for a big gain during a team period. With [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] missing practice with a knee injury, Butler was the starter on the strong side.

** WR [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] had a nice day but faded a little bit late with a drop near the end zone in a two-minute drill. He hauled in a touchdown pass from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on a delayed route in which he caught CB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] sleeping. In seven-on-seven tight red zone drills, he made a bobbling, falling catch of a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] pass in the back of the end zone while being harassed by CB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

** Speaking of Carr, when he gets his hands on receivers they all have a difficult time breaking free. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was unable to get off the jam at the line of scrimmage. Carr has been impressive and the coaches believe his press technique will be a help to the receivers when the season starts.

** Romo’s best throw might have been a third (or fourth) read to RB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] near the goal line. After faking a pitch to Murray, Romo initially looked for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on a quick stutter-go but the defense read the play well. Instead, Romo was able to narrowly float a pass just out of DeMarcus Ware’s reach to Murray. It was the perfect blend of touch and power, especially close to the goal line.

** DE [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] did a nice job of stopping Murray on a power run by slipping through the line. DE [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] also snuffed out a screen to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

** WR [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] went down in the end zone on a crossing route and suffered what he called a hyper-extended right knee. He was examined by the medical staff and was running later but did not appear to take more snaps.

** CB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] had two interceptions. The first came when he ripped a McGee pass away from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in seven-on-seven drills. His second came when he came off a deep receiver to come up with a turnover of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], who was just attempting to get rid of the ball.

** McGee was much sharper Wednesday. He got his second straight day of extended snaps with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] out with a hamstring injury. He ended the second-team offense’s two-minute drill with a perfect throw to Phillips just out of the reach of S [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
