Much was certainly said at the opening Dallas Cowboys press conference on Wednesday. As fans of America’s team, when owner Jerry Jones speaks up, everyone agrees that something he says is going to make a headline on EPSN within an hour. The training camp’s first press conference was no exception.
Jerry Jones said some very colorful things about championships and his relationship with former head coach Jimmy Johnson on Wednesday. There was a lot of passion behind his voice in every word Jones said. It was something that hasn’t been seen since the Cowboys got fans at the AT&T stadium last year.
The specific questions that upset Jones the most were how his team was handling COVID-19 vaccine numbers and getting back to training camp in Oxnard, California.
At this time last year, all players and coaches had to prepare for a questionable season like never before. The Cowboys were still trying to get used to a new coaching staff led by head coach Mike McCarthy.
After being stuck in Texas all of last season, Jones said during the team’s opening press conference last week that the return to the West Coast is a welcome change for a team that couldn’t find its groove in 2020.
“The feeling we have is like coming home, but just as important is the atmosphere. Now we all know what our challenges have been over the past year and a half … It was so important for the cowboys to basically show what it looks like, we’re back. Here we are and we’re back in business. “
A trip to California is like coming home to Dallas. Fans travel from across the state to see star players like quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. Dedicated fans in the training camp can produce the best players who want to compete for a place in the squad.
Nor can it be a coincidence that the year the Cowboys are out of Oxnard, Prescott goes down with an end-of-season injury, Elliott has its worst fumbles statistical season, and the team has one of the worst defenses in the franchise history . It’s much more about why a team gets a 6-10 season, but it’s interesting to think about.
The organization knows that the Oxnard camp is more than just another field for practice. It means correcting the lost season due to a pandemic and going back to a familiar place where the season really starts for the Dallas Cowboys.
