Twitter: Everybody passed their conditioning test - *75 participated* Post #51

[Section446]

That's actually pretty damn impressive. Off to a great start.

 

[adbutcher]

This is great news! For those who think this is easy, go outside and try it with 8 secs instead of 6. I have done the 6 sec sprint and I have done the 12 min run. I will choose the 12 min run over the sprints.

I was looking at NFL Total last night and Sapp was killing somebody on the Bills for failing the test yesterday. It's a sin among the vets (apparrently) for the young guys to fail this test. Starting off right!!!

Probably talking about Marcel Dareus

I don't seem to remember hearing about a big group hug like this before...I like the team unity, bodes well for TC

Well, the recent CBA offseason Tony and Wit organized the player-led practices and got really good attendance, iirc.

We've always had pretty good player leadership. TO aside.

Is this a prerequisite of Witten to eventually become a coach for us after his retirement.

He organizes this, and they track everyting to present the results to the coaching staff and trainers. 75 of the 90 show up. Which shows team unity, as well as how they they also respect Witten.
I would think the other 15 have valid reasons for not being there. We know a few, and can guess at some others for those valid reasons.

Spencer, probably Melton & Okoye. the new Wr they just signed. is Ryan williams ready for camp, he was coming off an injury. Does anyone know if Romo was there.
Is Washington ok or is his sholuder still bothering him. Whaley, but they released him before this didn't they/

 

[iceberg]

Man, Zaxby's!? I could think of 10 places I would go before that.

Just 10?

 

[pgreptom]

Just because someone says one player is their favorite signing doesn't mean he's dumping on Melton. Breh.

He even came back and said he should have reworded it, breh. But perhaps you're correct. I guess anyone can say Matt Johnson is their favorite player.

“The coaches had decided not to have one this year, but we as players, we decided we needed for our team to do it, kind of a camaraderie thing,” Church said. “We went out there at Valley Ranch, ran our little conditioning test, and almost everybody showed up and it was a great time.”

From the DC.com article:

Cowboys coaches didn’t want to have everyone competing in the conditioning test out in Oxnard and tiring out so close to when they’d be practicing at camp.

Wow...

We've always had pretty good player leadership.

That's not what I heard on NFLF.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Good start for training camp

 

[coach steele]

Good sign but I want to know what who the 15 were that did not participate?

 

[Doomsday101]

and just read Melton is a go for the start of training camp. Good to have him out there.

 

[dogberry]

Have Dunbar, Mincey, Bass, Gardner, Hayden (?), Johnson, Malena? been cleared?

 

[starfrombirth]

These were official runs. So those that took them today don't have to take them in Oxnard. I've been trying to sniff out who took them today and who didn't.

According to FredBeard's video on DC.Com it wasn't official. In fact, there wasn't going to be an official one this year. It was all organized by the players.... love it.

“I feel like it’s showing that the players are trying to make this team our own and go out there and have our own type of identity,’’ Church said.

Must be another example of those Tom Landry-like leadership skills from Jason Garrett.

Was this really necessary?

smh

 

[Alexander]

Was this really necessary?

smh

I think it is a legitimate question. If the players are taking it upon themselves, what exactly does that say about the staff?

Go figure, we often went on a Battalion Run for esprit de corp and morale...man, who was holding the stop watch?

It says the staff isn't allowed to have them do this, per the CBA.
