Training Camp Report

As Jacob requested here is my report from Cowboys training camp. I sat in on both practices on Thursday. The morning practice was in full pads and the afternoon practice was in shoulder pads. In the morning there were somewhere around 4,000 spectators and in the afternoon the number grew to around 8,000. T.O. is of course the star of training camp and is the last one on the field before practice starts. As soon as he exits the tunnel on to the field the Alamodome erupts. The only player who comes close to getting the type of reception T.O. does is Romo. D-Ware is going to have a sick season. He has definately gotten bigger and stronger over the offseason while at the same time looking as if he lost weight.
The play of the day had to have been a handoff to Marion Barber on a stretch play that got strung out close to the sideline when Bradie James came in and literally knocked Barber's helmet off. Good thing Barber had all those dreadlocks to cushion the blow.
Romo seemed to be having trouble completing passes to WRs but was on the money to both Witten and Fasano across the middle. It actually looks like we are going to look to Fasano as a viable receiving target this year.
On another note...I definately choose the wrong profession. Why the hell am I not an NFL kicker. They by far have the easiest jobs in the world. They come out, stretch with the team and then proceed to stand and talk to each other on the sideline all practice. Occasionally on a break one of them will get a chance to kick 2 or three field goals and maybe boot a punt or two. Not that we need to focus on the kicking game...I mean it hasn't cost us any games or anything.
