I'm guessing that he won't say a whole lot that will make the cut for the HBO show.</div> NFL Hardknocks: Baltimore Ravens (2001) Dallas Cowboys (2002) Kansas City Chiefs (2007) Dallas Cowboys (2008) Why twice with the same team? This is great for Dallas fans, but sheesh, let it go for a few more years before covering a previous team. </div> Its expected to be a ratings bonanza, which equals money. Plus, with all the hype surrounding us this year (regardless if you think its justified or not), its not exactly unreasonable for them to WANT to cover us this year.

You really can't tell anything when they run up the middle without pads. Zach Thomas gave a glimpse of his ability to diagnose a play and get to the football by meeting Marion Barber behind the line of scrimmage on a sweep. 5:16 -- Fourth-round RB Tashard Choice isn't extremely fast, but he has good vision and is a decisive runner. He showed that by finding the hole and making a quick cut on a run up the middle. ... RB Alonzo Coleman, who dealt with a bum ankle all of last season as a rookie, was a bit too quick for Brad Johnson on a stretch play. Johnson ate grass after extending to make the handoff. ... Coleman has the most impressive physique of the backs. He's stocky but chiseled with huge arms. 5:23 -- NT Junior Siavii moves awfully well for a 6-5, 330-pound guy. He looked quick chasing Alonzo Coleman on a stretch play. But Siavii is going to have to be very impressive to crack the roster with Jay Ratliff and Tank Johnson on the team. ... 11-on-11 ends with a grand total of zero passes thrown. Breaking into position drills. ...</div> Junior Siavii was out of football for a few years until now. How is he looking this year? I remember that guy from the Chiefs. </div> Well, you can't really tell anything from minicamps, bec. there was no pads being worn, etc.... I'll let you know as we progress. But I'd be a little suprised if he makes the team. Spears, Canty, Bowen, Hatcher, Ratliff and Johnson are all ahead of him...
