The Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos are practicing together this week, and the teams aren’t exactly displaying great sportsmanship.

First Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones had some critical comments for Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall (only to have Marshall get the best of him on the field), and now reports out of this morning’s practice indicate that the teams got a little more physical than usual for an August practice.

The Dallas Morning News reports that Cowboys offensive tackle Flozell Adams “was throwing guys down during the 9-on-7 inside drill.” Then Adams “sparked a fracas” during the 11-on-11 drills, and the Cowboys’ fullbacks were “having a heck of a timing beating up on people.”

But Broncos cornerback Dre Bly suggested afterward that it was the Cowboys who were the ones taken aback by the way the Broncos took it to them.

“I don’t think Dallas was used to that type of practice,” Bly said. “We hit. Those guys finished 13-3 last year, so they probably can afford to relax in practice and coast through certain drills. Us, we went 7-9, so we’re on the ground right now and we’re trying to get back up that hill.”

Although it doesn’t sound like it turned into a Will Allen-style beat down, it does sound like the Cowboys and Broncos gave the folks from HBO plenty of material for next week’s installment of Hard Knocks.
