Joe DeCamillis is a bleepin' inspiration

Joe DeCamillis ran around like a madman while running special teams drills during the abbreviated rookie minicamp.
His movement was restricted during his surpise appearance at today's OTA opener, which came just more than two weeks after he underwent surgery to stabilize a fractured cervical vertebrae suffered in the collapse of the Cowboys' indoor facility. But his coaching style certainly didn't change.
"He was just as loud, just as proud, just as excited and just as revved up as anybody out there," tight end Martellus Bennett said.
Added rookie defensive back DeAngelo Smith: "He still had the same energy, intensity and enthusiasm."
The same vocabulary, too. DeCamillis, wearing a bulky neck brace, couldn't run all over the field, so he hollered through a megaphone. His instructions, which were peppered with colorful language, came through loud and clear.
"That's the way Joe coaches," Wade Phillips said with a big smile. "We're not going to change that. I think it's inspirational. I really do. Any time you see somebody that's doing something you don't think they can do, that's what you tell the team - there's things that they can do that they don't think they can do."
