Lance Dunbar - Dallas Cowboys Rookie Camp

[cdizzle86]

With all the craziness going on around here over the last 3-4 weeks, I felt that we needed a thread dedicated to tracking Dunbar and his progress with the Cowboys. It seems that he is making a good impression with the coaches, but I hope his is putting in overtime in the weight room. That seems to be the area that needs most improvement.

Enjoy.

Norm Hitzges showed some love on the air for Dunbar some days ago

The DMN had a story on the rookie camp today, but it didn't contain anything about Dunbar. Anyone know what number Dunbar is wearing for the Cowboys?

#25

I saw where Royce Hill was trying out for the cowboys as well.

I never knew Jamize was a LB...

I didn't know he played FB either.

I'd love to see Dunbar become in Dallas what PC was in Miami. By all accounts, PC's work ethic was second to none. We'll see what Dunbar does with his opportunity,

I'd like to see Dunbar become the next Tony Dorset or Emmitt Smith.

[BIG DAWG]

I'd like to see Dunbar go to the Bears!!!

[Green P1]

I wonder why no one signed James Hamilton after the draft? So many people told us he was the better back?

[Rudy]

While we are on the topic, any update on PC?

I think Lance has a golden opportunity here. Yeah, Murray had a good year, but he is injury prone and I don't think Jerry is sold on him yet.

Glad to hear Lance has caught Norm's attention.

That's mainly because he never was. He played a little TE before moving to receiver. The only reason he got a tryout is because he's an absolute freak of an athlete and had a good pro day.

Ok, how does a "freak of an athlete" not get any more time on the field than he did last year.

Just guessing, but maybe he's just now finding the right position. I thought that linebacker was the best position for our defense last year; who would he have taken LB playing time from?

Just like how Draylon Ross is still on the Bears practice squad

But when Draylon Ross was at North Texas, he got lots of playing time.....on both sides.

Because he's not very good at football.

Lots? I remember him seeing the field some, but not a whole lot.

Dunbar made an appearance on Dale Hanson tonight.

Ouch.

[Rudy]

Looks like he had to grab the helmet and throw him down, when they are wearing shells, I might add. Double no-no from that d-lineman.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

It's funny what happens to these guys when you stick them in the mix with competent football coaches who know how to read a player's skill set and put him the right position to use it.

Oh, and...fullback is an important position in football. If it turns out we had a pro-quality fullback all along and were lining him up at WR...?
