(Editor's Note: Time to check the mail! The DallasCowboys.com staff writers answer your questions here in 'Mailbag' presented by Miller Lite.)
The last two years when the Cowboys scrimmaged the Rams, things didn't seem to go well for the good guys. What were your overall impressions this time around? *Could you see any difference? *– Bryan Williams*/Dallas*, TX
Mickey: Absolutely this year was different, and you are right the past couple of scrimmages with the Rams the Cowboys failed to match their intensity. This scrimmage with the Rams on Tuesday was more two-sided. the Cowboys finally matching the Rams intensity and ramped up their competitive spirit for sure. A vast improvement, offensively and defensively. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer was pleased with the workout, and I will go more into depth on the scrimmage with the Rams in my Mick Shots column being posted today. Love your insight and timely question.

Tommy: I would say there was a difference. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. Last year, it felt like the Rams were able to move the ball at will, and do it without MVP Matthew Stafford. This time around, with Stafford, the Cowboys defense was able to make some plays and force some turnovers. Now, I would say that the Rams offense still had their fair share of moments too, but that's what a joint practice is supposed to look like, and it was a stark difference from what occured last year when Los Angeles came to Oxnard.
