LoneStarStruck.com - The Home For Die Hard Cowboys Fans

Can you believe we are already nearing the end of June and that football season is slowly , but surely inching it's way back into our lives. On Tuesday all Cowboys players will be on hand for the start of mandatory three-day mini camp. 

The Cowboys will get a good sense of where the new guys like Felix Jones, Tashard Choice and Mike Jenkins will fit in exactly.

It should also be the beginning of an interesting position battle at wide receiver as Wade Phillips and his coaching staff try to decide who will line up opposite Terrell Owens this season. Patrick Crayton may seem like the logical choice, but some question his toughness. Personally I believe that barring a trade, Crayton will still be the number two guy. That being said, on a team that throws as much as the Cowboys do, there will be plenty of opportunities for guys like Sam Hurd, Miles Austin and Isaiah Stanback to make some noise. As for Terry Glenn, who knows??

In an interesting article by Nick Eatman on DallasCowboys.com, he takes a good look at what might be shaping up as the biggest competition in Cowboys camp this pre-season... the abundance of quality cornerbacks. However, it was what he wrote about Pacman Jones that really caught my attention.

A lot of people seem ready to just throw Pacman in the starting lineup. Not sure why. The guy hasn't played football in a year. He's down to his very last strike in terms of even having a job in this league. Why can't he just come in, learn the scheme, learn the defensive calls and try to contribute?

No, he's Pacman Jones. So let's kick out Anthony Henry and his team-leading six interceptions last year and ship him over to safety. Let's make Jones a starter at cornerback, let him return all the punts and play him on offense, too. Hey, I've been all for acquiring this guy. I've said "why not" on more than one occasion about bringing him here. But let the guy get acclimated to football once again. Once he does that, and if he needs to be on the field for every play, then you adjust accordingly. Somehow, I see him as the third cornerback this year, barring any injuries.

I gotta tell ya, I can't argue with that logic.  Have a great week Cowboys fans!
