\"Dallas<\/figure>\n

Tuesday was the first day of mandatory minicamp for the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys, and they were happy to see that everyone showed up. That allowed them to keep their focus on the football field, instead of fielding questions about holdouts.<\/p>\n

That being said, there was a lot to take away from day one. As expected, Dak Prescott looked sharp and had a strong connection with new wide receiver George Pickens.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, there were several other big takeaways. Let’s dive into three of the top notes from their first mandatory practice under head coach Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n

Offseason is for experimenting<\/h2>\n

The Cowboys love players with position flexibility, and they’re experimenting with that this offseason. With Jourdan Lewis leaving in free agency, they’ve tried moving safety Israel Mukuamu into that role, as well as star cornerback DaRon Bland.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Bland continued to work inside, but they threw in another wrinkle with Mukuamu playing outside corner. It’s not a crazy thought since the fifth-year pro played corner at South Carolina. Even so, it’s new in Dallas.<\/p>\n

** Israel Mukuamu worked as an outside corner for what looked like the entire practice w\/ DaRon Bland working the slot.<\/p>\n

** Hustle is mandatory under Matt Eberflus. Ninth-year DL Solomon Thomas sprinted 25 yards to chase down a receiver.<\/p>\n
