The Dallas Cowboys scrimmaged against the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday as the teams took a break from training against themselves, but unfortunately the NFL machine made seeing anything from the activities difficult impossible.
Times have changed and these days teams are more intense about scrimmages like these. Consider that just last week the Cowboys originally put out word that team periods were not to be filmed, but the powers that be made sure that things were allowed to carry on as normal shortly
after that decree.
It should be noted that Tuesday’s scrimmage was at the Rams’ facility so it was their rules in place. Thanks to the hard-working members of the local beat we are able to piece together, loosely, happenings from the day, and it would appear that the Cowboys stood their ground against the Super Bowl favorites.
Here are some of the major takeaways. Also note that Myles Garrett was not in action for the Rams and that Jaishawn Barham (among others) was out for the Cowboys.
Unfortunately Jaydon Blue put the ball on the ground early on.
Shavon Revel! Twice over! Good day for the second-year corner.
Rashan Gary showed up, but it was not enough early on.
Tyler Guyton fared well, Terence Steele not so much.
And unfortunately more of the bad from Steele.
And in case you are curious, Steele was reportedly working against Byron Young.
Justin Barron got his hands on a Matthew Stafford pass. And a Stetson Bennett one. And then a third one!
Thankfully the mothership grabbed some videos.
Unfortunately the Cowboys offense was also a bit stalled, particularly on the ground.
Overall a really solid showing from the defense.
The mothership snuck in a video of George Pickens.
Dee Winters had not really stood out so far but that changed a bit, thankfully.
Unfortunately it was not a perfect day for Dak Prescott.
For what it’s worth Tyler Guyton had to have his elbow looked at, but ultimately was fine.
Again, this was a bit of a unique scrimmage for the Cowboys with so little video out to support the observations. Our thanks again to the media members in attendance.
It seems clear that Shavon Revel and Justin Barron were big winners while Terence Steele may have work to do. More than anything the fact that the Cowboys hung with the Rams is maybe the biggest takeaway.
What do you think?
