So he's quick and shifty but can't return punts. He can't pass block or play ST. But somehow he'll contribute as a rookie........

Yeah because he runs it and catches it at a pretty good level.

Overshown seems to be having a good camp. So is Mazi Smith

I haven’t heard or seen much on Hunter Luepke. Has anyone seen any of his reps?

I really hope this kid makes the team. I’m probably more excited about him more than anyone else except Mazi.

They showed a couple clips of Luepke running the ball the other day and he looks pretty good. I also saw one clip where he lined up as a traditional FB.

They are saying Overshown has been very impressive, especially in pass coverage.

I think Osa is one of the real under the radar guys for us that might have a psuedo-breakout year. I think he could end up with a half dozen sacks or so this season.

The first year they keyed on Dak's footsteps? WTF?

If that's the case, I put much of the blame on Kellen Moore's inexperience but how about MM?

I've often believed many of the sacks Prescott ends up taking are because he doesn't get enough separation in his drop backs. Go watch footage of Troy Aikman from 91-96 and look at the difference. Bill Walsh once said this part of his QB skill was one of the most impressive, because he 1) got back so quickly and 2) had tremendous separation from the QB/C exchange. His footwork on drop backs (and they didnt use the shotgun any from 91-97, it returned under Chan Gailey in 98) was amazing.

No blame for Clapper?

I do but he falls into the inexperienced catagory. But it goes even deeper. He lacked the street cred with his players to make them change their game. Ultimately, the GM has to see this but anything else would be out of his comfort zone.

I suspect this guys entire career is going to be chock full of “minor setbacks”

Kinda hard to believe honestly but whatever. As long as MM doesn't tweak this thing to the point of Dak having to over think things God forbid!

Dumb it down yes, but Dak Prescott and cerebral don't mix.

FWIW this was during a "mojo moment" where it was a 4th down situation
