Garrett On Higher Camp Expectations Around Cowboys: “We Define Ourselves”

ARLINGTON, Texas – Jason Garrett and the Cowboys’ coaching staff spent Monday speaking to approximately 500 youth, middle and high school football coaches about the fundamentals of success on the field at all levels of competition.
Tuesday, the Cowboys will arrive in Oxnard, Calif., for training camp. Expectations will be high coming off a 12-4 first-place division record – higher than last year’s camp coming off three straight 8-8 records and no playoffs in four straight seasons.
One of Garrett’s messages to his team is simple and similar to last year: No one defines them but them, whether they’re a popular Super Bowl pick or a last-place prediction.
“We define ourselves by what we do, what we say and don't say, and how we present ourselves each and every day,” Garrett said at the team’s annual Coaches Clinic at AT&T Stadium. “When I did this press conference a year ago, we were probably regarded as a bottom-five or a bottom-10 team in the league. One of the best things our team did last year was we defined ourselves by what we did. We didn’t listen to any outside forces saying that we weren’t this or we weren’t that. We just went to work every day. We have to do that again.
“You might think differently of us this year. It really doesn’t matter. We define ourselves by what we do, what we say and don't say, and how we present ourselves each and every day. That’s individually, that’s collectively. That’s what we’re going to start (Tuesday).”
