Cowboys return game picks up steam

The Dallas Cowboys added some speed this offseason to their return game.
First round draft picks RB Felix Jones and CB Mike Jenkins each ran a sub-4.4 sec. 40 yd. in predraft workouts. Their trade for Pacman Jones brought a guy who ran a 4.3 sec. 40 yd. in predraft workouts in 2005.
With Miles Austin and Terence Newman it brings the ability to scare teams with speed.

Newman, what's he doing in there? There is enough speed in the other guys. Best to save him for the defense I think.

So are you expecting Pacman to return punts and Felix Jones to return kicks? I really like Jones athleticism and I think he would be very good in that role and if Pacman keeps his nose clean he would be the best returner the Boys have had in awhile.

I would let Pacman return punts...but I would not put Felix Jones in that spot...never saw them do that with Tony Dorsett. Why waste a good back that way.

Yes, he has been traded but he has not been reinstated as of yet. They wanted him back in time for OTAs but will be very lucky to get him back by training camp. Maybe minicamp. He and Goodell met last week but nothing has really come out of it yet.
Now that we have gone and done it and are stuck with him, I cant wait to get him on the field to see if he is still as good as he was.

Someone on here told me once there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers.

I hear Jones was doing his best sales pitch to Goodell about how they plan to monitor Pacman. I guess he could be back as soon as next week.

That's what Adam Schefter is saying. I also read that Goodell could let him practice with the Cowboys even though he isnt reinstated yet.
