OXNARD, Calif. – Ashton Kutcher rolled into Cowboys training camp Saturday, and there’s no truth to the rumor that owner and general manager asked the "Two and a Half Men" star if he could play center … or wide receiver.

Kutcher, however, did spend a good time looking at the offensive and defensive line play before turning his attention to the skill players.

On to the observations from a Saturday practice that featured some game-plan work for Oakland:

** Lots of double moves and deep balls in one-on-one drills between quarterbacks and wide receivers. Now the defenders are at a distinct disadvantage in this drill, but WR [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] had the highlights before a hamstring strain ended his day. He beat CB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on a double move to the middle of the field (where a safety would have been in position) and outmuscled CB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on a back shoulder fade.

** Carr got his revenge later when he broke up an out route to Bryant from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

** Two things you haven’t seen much of in camp: a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] drop and an [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] interception. They happened on back-to-back snaps in one-on-one drills.

** [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is getting the edge in the inside linebacker chase with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in part because of his athleticism. He was able to stick with RB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on an arrow route underneath and break up a pass in one-on-ones.

** CB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] jammed WR [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] so well off the line that the wideout just stopped on his route and took his helmet off in disgust. It was the beginning of a long day for Radway, who had a miscommunication with QB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that led to an interception and a drop.

** As good as Bryant has been in camp, he still doesn’t always go where he is supposed to go. After running the wrong route, Romo lit into him pretty good after he would have been sacked by OLB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], who had two sacks and a pressure Saturday.

** LB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] struggled a few days ago in pass coverage but rebounded nicely Saturday, reacting quickly to screens to TE [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and RB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Lemon could force his way on the roster, but it will come down to his special teams work. He worked as the personal protector Saturday on punts.

** LG [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and RG [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] had false starts on the first play of team drills and were replaced by undrafted rookies [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Three plays later, LT [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] jumped early but the play went on as called.

** Claiborne made a nice break on a Romo pass to WR [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in the end zone, stopping a potential touchdown. The coaches were excited to see the rookie No. 1 pick make a play in a big situation.

** Bernadeau did a nice job in space on LB [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on two screens, delivering a good blow on the move. For a big guy, he moves pretty well. He’s had a pretty good start to his camp.

** The defense would have scored a TKO for its work against the offense for much of the day, but during the two-minute drill the No. 1 unit rebounded. Romo completed 8-of-9 passes and ended the drive with a TD pass to Witten on a shallow out route as S [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] chased.
