The Ft. Worth Star Telegram reports Dallas Cowboys scout Larry Dixon helped the team beat the Redskins Monday night. Dixon plunked down about $350 in total for $10 training camp tickets and another $10 parking to watch the Redskins practice during training camp. "Every time you went, it would cost 10 bucks to park and 10 bucks to get in," Dixon said. "If you came back for the afternoon practice, it cost another 10 bucks, but you could save on your parking from that morning. The scrimmage [vs. Baltimore] cost $20 to get in and $20 to park." With that money, Dixon was able to provide the Cowboys' coaching staff and players with a concise scouting report that was used Monday night to beat Washington. "It seemed like they knew everything we were doing," said Redskins TE Stephen Alexander. "I'm not tooting my own horn, but I believe I know more about the Washington Redskins than anyone outside their organization," said Dixon. "I probably know too much ... [because] you can't possibly put it all down for a team to get to know." Dixon saw scouts from Carolina "almost every day" and scouts from the New York Giants on occasion. Cowboys DC Mike Zimmer was able to use Dixon's scouting reports to disguise coverages, spread the field and give rookie CB Kareem Larrimore some deep-safety help. Redskins QB Brad Johnson was limited to two short-field touchdown drives and a long pass-play of 17 yards. Everything else was a dink or a dunk. ffmastermind.com Dave
