Just got back from practice. It was my 11th practice this year.

I don't think Alec Ogletree watched last nights episode of Hard Knocks or at least the part about no one touches #30. He seemed especially focused today. I don't know if the pressure of being the new leader is getting to him or he's just trying to set the tone for the defense, but he was locked in today. I don't think he's happy with the way the defense has played so far.

Maybe the accountability switch is finally turning on & Tree has realized its his job to take the leadership role by the horns & seeds planted by Singletary beginning to root?

Coples is running with the 3's on a consistent basis. I don't think he's going to make this team. Just my gut feeling!

I hope you're right because we have all been keeping an eye on him and waiting for him to find his place on the DLine and its been rather uninspiring. We would all hate if a younger kid more deserving of the 53 be left off on his account just because he's a former 1st round pick.t

Gaines is our 2nd best corner. We NEED him to stay healthy. Joyner isn't an outside guy. Needs to play in the slot.

Good to hear it looks like he's turning the corner from his injuries because without him returning to his 2014 form, the secondary has red flags everywhere..

McDonald wasn't very good early in camp. He seems to be playing much better now.

TJMcd is a huge part of the defense so its very encouraging to hear he's been looking better of late..

Barron was back at it today. Looked to be fine.

Barron is a crucial component and needs to be 100% healthy for Frisco... He was the talk of the town last season and since he signed the mega bucks contract, he's been quiet as a ghost.. even on Hard Knocks he's been a quiet shadow in the background.


This is my first real post on the board. I've been reading your posts for years. I decided to contribute now that there back in Cali. I've always appreciated the camp reports from the guys in St Louis, so I wanted to give back...

Thanks!!!
