Healthy Competition: 5 Matchups To Watch In Camp

The battle between starting tight end and established veteran Jason Witten and young phenom starting safety Byron Jones has already begun. And boy is it going to be a fun one. During mini-camp this week, Witten caught a ball on Jones and immediately turned around and yelled “All day!” before heading back to his huddle. The two are obviously fierce competitors, and while some people are looking for a decline in Witten with age, he is clearly working to keep himself on a productive track.

Cowboys Headlines - Healthy Competition: 5 Matchups To Watch In Camp 5

If you can’t tell, I love the interior battles. I have spent hours watching the tape of the Dallas Cowboys offensive and defensive lines, and I can’t wait to spend more hours doing so this season.

With that being said, this matchup will be one to watch for sure.

No, Cedric Thornton isn’t a nose tackle in the Cowboys scheme, but he will line up as the 1-technique and will go nose-to-nose with Travis Frederick on certain plays such as backside zone.

Being a new addition, you know that Thornton would love nothing more than to prove himself to all of the Cowboys faithful by taking on our trusted center, and winning while doing so.

This will be a fun one.
