Alright, I already know what y'all are thinking seeing this thread pop up...
I tried to have this posted by Monday afternoon when I got home but I was feeling very under the weather and didn't have the energy to type it up that night or yesterday. Today I was feeling much better, so I finally was able to type it all up and as usual I went through the practice update thread and linked some of the tweets with videos to the plays. Practice started a bit late Monday so it's a little shorter than usual and I missed a few more details here and there than I normally would but I still got the majority of it. Even though I'm posting late, I figure it'll give everyone something to enjoy reading waiting for practice to start tomorrow morning.
----------
Offense started by simulating the 2-minute drill by breaking the huddle, lining up quickly, and snapping the ball with the OL hitting the blocking sled. After the horn sounded, everyone went to position drills.
Near field: QB/RB's did hand off and passes to the flat, WR's were doing press release drills with a coach stabbing at them with the long pads over their arms trying to disrupt their route
Far field: LB's were hitting the tackling rings for awhile then began a drill dropping into coverage and then flipping their hips to whichever way the coach sent them, DB's were doing deep ball tracking drills and then worked on coming up in run support
After the horn sounded, QB's worked on over to the ring nets while coaches were swatting at the ball in their hands; RB's did the gauntlet drill; then QB's and WR's ran 2-WR route concepts until this period ended.
Next period had the QB's and skill position guys lining up and running plays without a defense, mostly just pitch and catch at slightly faster than a walkthrough speed...
From my sideline angle, it looked as though Romo went 3/3 (35 middle, 40 right hash, 43 left hash)
11 vs 11 - Lattimore did participate in this 11v11 session
First kick was 30-something and looked to go wide-left but not sure, then he looked to make his next 3 kicks at 45, 51, and 56-57 before practice wrapped up. Overall it was a very defensive dominant practice for the most part, lots of PBU's and balls on the ground.
Anyways, hope y'all enjoyed. I should have another one of these write-ups done for next Monday's practice on the 8th as well, hopefully I can get that one typed up and posted earlier than I did this one.

- Book to Dixon on a dig
- 80 vs 29 - Landry wins the rep on a slant, but Adebo was SMOTHERING him; this was the play that Kat Terrell said Landry came up limping but I must've missed it while writing
- 1 vs 27 - Callaway runs a streak and Alontae Taylor edges him over to the sideline, Callaway almost 1-hands it but would've been out of bounds anyway, win to Taylor
- 12 vs 21 - Roby gets the PBU on Olave trying a hitch-and-go down the sideline
- 17 vs ? - Kevin White had a rep here but I missed the play and who it was even against while I was still scribbling stuff from 2 plays earlier
- 18 vs 35 - Winston beats Vincent Gray on a streak before curling for the reception
- 85 vs 39 - Merritt beats DaMarcus Fields on a slant
- 11 vs 29 - Harris runs a dig but even though Adebo has pretty good positioning, he grabs Harty's hip to try and gain a bit more but it is for naught as Harty completes the catch
- 11 vs 21 - Harty tries Roby deep before curling, pass was a bit wide outside but Roby also has a handful of jersey
- ? - your guess is as good as mine as to what happened here, according to the DB rotation, it should've been the same DB on the Kevin White route I missed earlier, LOL
- 87 vs 35 - Baker runs a streak with Gray in coverage but drops it
- 17 vs 39 - White runs a streak on Fields but drops it and bats it up and Fields comes down with it, not sure if in bounds or not though
- 12 vs 29 - Adebo gets the PBU on a slant by Olave; last rep by Winston, Dalton rotates in...
- 85 vs 27 - Merritt beats Taylor on a dig, really great route
- 18 vs 31 - Winston beats the press and Thompson grabs some jersey but should've still been caught; last rep by Dalton, Winston rotates back in...
- 80 vs 21 - Landry gets an outside release and crosses Roby's face on a slant spinning him around in coverage
- 12 vs 29 - lots of contact by both, I don't even think there was a route honestly
- play action, Winston incomplete to Landry on a deep crosser, Adebo with a crazy diving PBU from trail position undercutting the pass
- play action, Winston incomplete to Olave on a shallow crosser, Jordan with the pressure
- ? run-middle for ~7 yd (couldn't see who in that swarm of humanity and no one ever popped out the other side)
- ? run left stuffed, Granderson with the TFL; couldn't see who it was but it was a RB in the 30's for sure so Abram Smith, Tony Jones Jr., or Malcolm Brown; Winston's last rep, Dalton rotates in...
- Ingram run-left outside for ~5-7 yds
- play action, Dalton incomplete to White on what I think was either a fade or an out; pass was VERY high but I think White had a shot at it and Taylor swiped it out
- Dalton incomplete to Callaway on a shallow crosser that is dropped right through his hands; same play that Taco got a pressure on Penning
- Jones Jr. run-right outside for ~7-8 yds; Dalton's last rep, Book rotates in...
- Brown run-left outside for ~5 yd, banged out of bounds by Smoke Monday
- Book incomplete to Dixon on a streak, very likely DPI on Fields in coverage
- play action bootleg, Book to Krull on a shallow crosser for ~7-8 yds

From my sideline angle, it looked as though Romo went 3/3 (35 middle, 40 right hash, 43 left hash)
11 vs 11 - Lattimore did participate in this 11v11 session
- Winston to Holtz on a shallow dig, BIG POP by the defender but missed who
- Winston to Kamara on an arrow beating Baun in coverage
- Winston to Harty on a shallow dig, Lattimore very tight on him but complete
- Winston to Trautman on a deep crosser for 20+ yds right in front of Justin Evans; Winston's last rep, Dalton rotates in...
- Dalton incomplete to Olave on deep fade, Olave went up for it and Taylor had him blanketed from the ball for the PBU
- Dalton to Brown on a short curl but was very late getting out, Scott Patchan was in on the pressure and likely would've had the sack
- Dalton to Smith on a comeback on the sideline; Penning was getting it from Taco

- Book to Prentice in flat for ~8-10 yds
- Book to Monday on a screen to the left for ~20 yds
