Dallas Cowboys Training Camp Day 6: Defense
  • 9 months ago
The Dallas Cowboys defense has shown that they are an amazing group and they are hard to compete with in the league. They made that known last year and they still look phenomenal. With the addition of Stephon Gilmore and the Cowboy’s first round pick Mazi Smith they look even better.

QB Dak Prescott spoke on the defense after practice today and said, “Just in these two days, I’ve felt it. They’re good. They communicate well and I think that’s where it starts. They know each other, they know the call, they feel confident with the call they’re getting from DQ. They feel confident with the man next to them doing their job and that allows them to play fast. That’s gonna make it tough on any offense. For us to get to go against them every day, that’s iron sharpening iron. They’re impressive.”

Micah Parsons had a great day as well, he recorded one sack on Dak Prescott today and looked strong and fast, per usual.

Nahshon Wright had an interception today for the defense. He had coverage on WR Jalen Tolbert and snagged the interception thrown by QB Dak Prescott at the 20 yard line.

The DB’s looked solid today, Stephon Gilmore was present at practice but Trevon Diggs was not. Head Coach Mike McCarthy said there was nothing wrong with Diggs and there is no concerns.

Gilmore spoke with the media after practice about playing with Trevon Diggs, “It’s gonna be fun. They gotta throw it somewhere. So you know one of us is going to get tested. We just gotta be ready for wherever they throw it. Looking forward to it.”

The first round pick Mazi Smith had a great first few days of camp. Defensive line depth took a clear win over the offensive line depth in a rep where Smith finished the play taking out QB Cooper Rush which could’ve been a Rush escape.
