How a steak dinner shows Cowboys' camaraderie
FRISCO, Texas -- Monday night was a perfect example of what has gone right for the Dallas Cowboys so far this season.
A day after beating the Green Bay Packers, nearly every member of the Cowboys, from the most-tenured veterans to the practice squad receiver, made their way to Nick & Sam’s in uptown Dallas. For the first time any veteran can remember, the rookie dinner was not held on different nights for the offense and defense.
“There’s not a lot of teams you can say that, where the camaraderie is as good as ours right now,” defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford said. “But you know we’re playing well and we’re having fun. And I feel like that’s just how we need to continue rolling.”
Chemistry is often an overused term in the success of a team in any sport. Players don’t need to be best friends on and off the field to succeed. It helps, but it is not a prerequisite. Winning is the best ingredient to chemistry.
A lack of chemistry is not why the Cowboys went 4-12 last year. Good chemistry is not why the Cowboys are 5-1 this season.
But it doesn’t hurt.
The game that is all the rage at The Star, the Cowboys’ glitzy new practice facility, is laundry-bin basketball. That they use an oversized tennis ball doesn’t matter. That they are shooting baskets into a bin filled with sweaty clothes doesn’t matter, either.
