Notes From Cowboy Camp

1. Finally a Fight

Tight end Jackie Harris and Defensive End Ebenezer
Eukuban fought at Wedneday's morning practice. Great!
You have to have a few scuffles in camp. It can't be
lovey dovey all the time.

It is hot, and the days are long here in Wichita
Falls. Sooner or later the players get short with
pateince and things boil over. This is football.

Now you hope that everything was settled right then
and there. Hopefully Jackie and Ebenezer left it all
right there on the field.


2. Autograph Alley
If you ever come to a practice at Cowboys training
camp you will see plenty, in fact, mobs of fans lining
up for autographs after practice.

The players are very sweaty and tired after each
practice. They just want to go inside the AC grab a
drink and sit down. But, most of them sign items.

On Tuesday I witnessed Troy Aikman, Greg Ellis,
Emmitt Smith, Dat Nguyen, and others taking their time
to sign items for fans. More importantly, they make
sure to sign for the disabled fans in a separate tent
near the locker room.

I saw kids faces light up as Troy came by to sign
their hats, jerseys, and pennants. Randall told me,
"I always make sure I stop over here. Some of these
kids just don't have the opportunities and it's just
sad. It makes me wanna cry sometimes."


3. Rocket Looking Sharp

Michael Irvin was the main target for Troy. Now,
it's looks like Rocket Ismail could be the man.
Rocket is getting better with age and he still has all
of his speed.

Another target that Aikman will be looking for is
tight end Jackie Harris. David LaFleur is still not a
first rate tight end. He'll make the tough catch and
then botch three easy passes.

I think Harris will be the starter by Week 4. The
reason he left Tennessee was because Franck Wycheck
was in front of him. It's was not going to change.
LaFlop is the "starter" according to Coach Dave Campo,
but that's just to keep him working hard. Harris will
be the guy in when it counts.
