At the Cowboys recent rookie mini-camp, defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli had a specific assignment for defensive end Dorance Armstrong. It was sort-of a homework assignment.
Rookie defensive end Dorance Armstrong wasn’t around Rod Marinelli very long before he was given his first assignment. The Cowboys defensive coordinator has been known to have players study former stars.
Armstrong, a fourth-round pick out of Kansas, was told to find out all he could about Hall of Fame pass rusher Chris Doleman.
Armstrong gave a short assessment of Doleman.
“He was a real good dude, a monster off the edge,” he said.
