Scout's Notebook: Byron's Growth In Coverage, Wilson Shows Up; More

OXNARD, Calif. – A few observations from Tuesday evening’s practice, where the Cowboys’ offense and defense traded some solid shots against each other.

  • Morris Claiborne works each day in practice on high-pointing a football -- play the route, track the ball, and then go high in the air to secure it. Claiborne did everything right in coverage against Dez Bryant, except secure the ball. He didn’t let Bryant widen him in the route so he was able to maintain his position. He saw the ball was short from Tony Romo and positioned himself by under cutting the route to put himself in position to make the play, but when the ball hit his hands – he was fighting it and it ended up on the ground.
