Cowboys Cut Pacman Jones

So, Jerry Jones lets one of his experiments go. On the surface, it seems like it's the right move with the proper motives. Pacman is charged with hiring someone to kill another person. Well, there he goes again. But. The charge is from 2007!! Why is this coming up now? Did Jerry need a good reason to let Pacman go?

From a football prospective, I hate it. I want the much talked about move of Henry to safety. He's simply too slow as a corner. As a safety, he can return to a high level of play. Shifting Henry over and losing Pacman means the Cowboys have Newman, Scandrick and Jenkins left at corner. If and when Newman goes down, you only have Scandrick and Jenkins at corner. Granted I loved what Scandrick did last year, but is he really ready to cover some of the more elite wide receivers out there. Do you trust Scandrick or Jenkins to cover Randy Moss?

Injury Report: Cowboys Training Camp

Terence Newman missed Monday's practice due to a pulled groin midway through as a teammate accidentally kneed him in the thigh. Details about the severity of the injury are unavailable at this time, although he was seen walking without a limp. Mike Jenkins, the first round corner, spent some time with the first team in his place.

Other injuries involve cornerback Quincy Carter. Just kidding. It's cornerback Quincy Butler (leg), linebacker Justin Rogers (stomach virus) and linebacker Tearrius George (knee).

2008 NFL Draft: Rounds 1 & 2

Round One, Pick 22: Felix Jones, RB - I'm not overly surprised given the Jerry Jones' connection but a little shocked given the fact that Rashard Mendenhall was sitting at that position as well as Mike Jenkins. I felt that picking Mike Jenkins at 22 would give you an option later on at 28 to pick the best of the remaining RB's. With that said, it's an upgrade over Julius Jones but still not an every down back. Barber and Felix will be joined together for a long time. But they got the thunder and lightning they were after. With all of that said, not picking Mendenhall was a mistake. Not as big as passing on Stephen Jackson, but still a mistake.

Round One, Pick 28: Mike Jenkins, CB - Although I am disappointed about Cromartie being taken, I realize that it was a bit unrealistic to get Dominique. Having said that, it was rumored that Mike Jenkins was the first corner back on the Cowboys' board. He has the tools necessary to become a very good corner in this league and the versatility to move to safety. 

Round Two, Pick 61: Martellus Bennett, TE - He's being compared to Antonio Gates. Obviously he's not at that level, at least now, but he has the ability to "box" out defenders and split out.
