Football is back. The Dallas Cowboys are the first NFL team to begin training camp. In reading reports about the first day, I was struck by the focus of the four primary wide receivers for the Cowboys.
1. Patrick Crayton – although he wrestled about contract issues over the summer, Jason Garrett loves what Crayton has brought to training camp. Garrett (offensive coordinator) spoke of him doing all the big things and all the little things. A good professional.
2. Miles Austin – Austin has not let his sudden success in the NFL go to his head. His last two tweets on twitter read:
- “Blocked my %#* today!
- Out of meetings. Had a good first practice but I dropped a ball I should have caught in the second one… Gotta work harder!!
3. Dez Bryant – arrived 2 hours early for the first practice. Was the first player on the field, 45 minutes before anybody else. Made great plays that impressed everybody.
4. Roy Williams – was booed when he dropped a ball and then makes a big deal out of Dez Bryant not carrying his shoulder pads for him.
Kudos to Crayton, Miles and Bryant. Whatever is opposite of kudos to Williams. If Roy would just play football and try to earn what has been invested in him, he would be in a much better position. This is not the first time that we have highlighted his ability to jack his jaws. At least Terrell Owens caught passes while running his mouth.
