It might have sounded a little something like this in Indianapolis…”Come on Stevie, quit watching DeCastro again, even the waterboy over there knows he’s a lock.  Mark down that Dontario Poe fella’s numbers and let’s get to the nearest 7-11 pronto.  What, his name is Dontari not Dontario?  Well nobody ever heard of him before today so what’s the big deal?  Stop goofin’ off watchin’ these other guys and tell Jr. to pull the dang car around.  I wanna be the first GM to fill out my new play card with Poe’s numbers”.

At Tuesday’s practice, one of the newer players in Dallas — Alex Barron — received the reps at right tackle with the first-team over Robert Brewster. This comes as no surprise after head coach Wade Phillips had said yesterday Barron would start Saturday’s pre-season game at Houston.

Brewster was bumped to second-team to receive reps at both left and right tackle.

Also receiving first-team reps was second-round draft pick Sean Lee. Brooking is out with a shoulder injury and Lee benefited by jumping into the inside linebacker spot next to Bradie James. Lee was practicing with a wrap on his left hand, but it did not seem to slow the rookie down.
