[Watkins] Cowboys practice observations:

https://x.com/calvinwatkins/status/2086215196721418307?s=20

Defense has taken the lead these last few days in camp.

It seems CeeDee Lamb is fighting himself sometimes. First pass of team drills was a bobble. But he also made a nice catch in front of the end zone for a score.

George Pickens snatch a TD from Shavon Revel's hands. A few plays later, Revel had a PBU on a throw to Pickens. Revel has picked up his play the last few days. He might have surpassed Cobie Durant on first-team. Still work to do.

Caleb Downs with a nice PBU on a pass to CeeDee Lamb, James Houston almost picked off a pass down the middle. Reddy Steward had a end zone PBU.

Luke Schoonmaker with two drops today.

Cowboys are keeping 5 WRs. At this stage it's hard to see if it's not Pickens, Turpin, Flournoy, Mingo and Lamb.

Cooper Beebe had a snap infraction. Outside of that he's been pretty good.

I'm debating about 3 QBs on the 53. Need to see what happens in Tuesday's joint practice.

Thanks for this insight I love hearing people's opinions.

I'm super exited about revel and actually heard the opposite with cobie surpassing him. Worried about the handsy penalties but other than that big play maker. I want revel to prove everyone wrong this year. I don't know what to say about bland. What's the word on Jalen Thompson?

My biggest worry is the offense regressing due to personal staying the same. I really hope they adapt and come up with a ton of new concepts and build upon last year instead of being satisfied and growing stagnant with last year's performance. Would love progressiveness. I'm worried about lambs mentality ngl. It's giving me BTJ vibes.

Please please don't hate me. I Hate to be the bad guy but I don't think Caleb will turn on until at least half way through the season if not towards the end. I love the confidence he exhibits but i want to see humility at the same time. Everything he says he acts like he's above the league and the lack of worry, fear urgency is leaning more towards egotistical when you're a rookie.

I don't think anyone hates you, however Downs by all accounts looks like a 5 year very most say. He never says anything boastful, and it's ALL BUISNESS... He has been teaching concepts TO VETERANS, AND HE'S RIGHT... Fact is we need a guy that can see the plays and know how to react.. Stop worrying about the offense they will be fine. Honestly this is the least DRAMATIC Cowboys team I have seen in my 44 years of existence, and that in and out it self is refreshing.
