The Dallas Cowboys hold their tenth training camp practice out in Oxnard, California. We open these discussion threads for every practice so that the Blogging The Boys community will have a place to congregate and discuss what is going on out at practice.
Unfortunately, dropping a Twitter List into this page no longer functions the way that it used to due to changes that the platform has made. We do have a list we recommend if you want to follow it in another tab. You can access it right here.
In order to keep the flow of things as smooth as possible though we’ll be dropping in updates and news items in this thread. Give us your take on them in the comments.
Here we go.
Editor’s Note: This post will be updated throughout practice with relevant news, information and highlights. The newest ones will be placed at the top so if you miss practice or want to see/read in chronological order make sure to scroll down to start.

Schotty review of the scrimmage.
Some Brian Schottenheimer notes after the joint practice review:

Offense
– Really good in the red zone on offense.
– Need to be better against movement, especially in run game
Defense
– “I thought the play style was felt.”
– A little soft in coverage: “airy.”
Interesting.
Brian Schottenheimer said they’re still working through snap counts for Caleb Downs (and Malachi Lawrence): “I think at some point they’ll both play a little bit of football.”
