Less Drama Equals More Wins For The Cowboys
DSCN1899[2]
This year's Cowboys Training Camp is unlike any other in recent memory. The Cowboys won't have to worry about any controversy surrounding Terrell Owens, No one's discussing the troubled past of Adam Pac-Man Jones... And hey, now that Tony Romo is single again... No one's talking about Jessica Simpson. In other words, The Cowboys enter training camp with no distractions... but for how long?
Today I asked Cowboys Linebacker, DeMarcus Ware if he anticipated a drama free season, Ware responded by saying, "Have you heard anything yet? (silence) Alright then, I feel the same way. Usually you been done heard something now. I think you have a lot of team players, a lot of guys who are trying to feel a lot of guys shoes, trying to get ready for the season. I think it's gonna pan out."
Receiver Roy Williams told me distractions are just a part of the game. "I don't care what team you're on, there's always distractions. When I was in Detroit there were still distractions. In Dallas, you're gonna have distractions. Somebody's going to make something up or something's going to happen, that's just the way it is, Williams says."
Last season, The Cowboys didn't handle those distractions very well... Their 1 and 3 record during the month of December, capped off with that 44 to 6 season ending loss to Philadelphia was proof of that. So the Cowboys feel if they can fly under the radar, for as long as possible... that may remedy some of the drama.
Receiver, Patrick Crayton says, "I think it's a fare assessment because the media doesn't have a story yet. You guys will find something here in a little bit. You'll bring up something in the past that has happened, you'll dig up something. So we'll handle it a little differently this go around."
Instead of focusing on the media, Hall of Famer Michael Irvin suggests a different approach to avoid the drama and it doesn't sound too hard... just win.
The Playermaker says, "You don't want the drama from the side show. You want the drama for the wins. You want the drama from beating another team. Those things are coming. That's what you want. Hopefully for The Dallas Cowboys that will come."
So this year's team may not be as compelling, but if that means The Cowboys winning their first playoff game in 12 years... I'm sure it's a sacrifice Cowboy Fans will gladly make.
