Ryan Williams doing work for Dallas
RMFW got picked up by the Cowboys this season, and while I haven't seen him much (don't follow the Cowboys or the NFL enough to be aware of that stuff), he just had a couple nice runs against the Ravens. First, he trucks a defender 15 yards downfield and then makes a nice cut on the next play to get himself into the end zone. Really hope he can stick in the Cowboys' backfield.

- Typical "Frank-isms" of liking the team and playing tough
- Running backs popped a few big ones
- Decision on QB coming very soon

Scrimmage Questions?
So the first scrimmage is here today, and I'll be going to interviews after it's over. We're going to get to talk to Frank, Bud and Loeffler, Brewer, Leal and whoever does well in the scrimmage.
We're going to get "abbreviated stats", so don't expect anything in that department. I'm HOPING we see how many carries each running back gets, but I'm not optimistic.
So I'm going to open it up to anyone, what questions do you care about most? Is there anything you want me to ask a coach or a player? I'll be reading this thread and try to get as many of your questions answered that I can.

Logan Thomas: Look Out Below!!
In the spirit of the recent LT3 topics. This article by Matt Waldman just recently came out.
It's a French style analysis on his chance at being a successful QB in the NFL that is quite well done IMO, and Waldman seems to look at Logan quite objectively.
Hope you enjoy

Is Chase Williams ready to lead the defense?
After spending five years in Virginia Techs defense as a back-up and on special team, Chase Williams seems to be finally ready to be a starter and a leader in Bud Fosters defense. With advice from his dad, St Louis Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, Chase is confident he can be the leader the team needs.

NFL plan to toughen up domestic abuse policy
NFL Policy Looks like with the recent outcry over Ray Rice's suspension has got the NFL thinking twice. With the suspension comparisons between failing a drug test and beating your wife coming out the NFL has decided to revamp their policy.
Right now as a 1st time offender Ray Rice has to attend a program and will avoid trial as long as he completes this. Goddell said the NFL doesn't have a big policy on domestic abuse and how to handle it but after this issue they're trying to expedite the process.

Logan Thomas came close to being drafted as a Tight End
If Logan Thomas was available in the 6th or 7th round of the 2014 NFL draft, he wouldve been drafted as a Tight End. Here is how Logan recounts the pre-draft interview,
"A coach called me two days before the draft -- I'm not going to name who it was -- but he said 'if you're still sitting around in the sixth or seventh round, we're going to take you as a tight end,' Thomas said.
