Moore: 3 things Jerry Jones wants to see from Cowboys before team breaks training camp
http://www.***BANNED-URL***/sports/...-cowboys-before-team-breaks-training-camp.ece
OXNARD, Calif. — Less than two weeks of highs in the 70s and gentle ocean breezes remain. Then, it’s back home to the blast furnace that awaits.
Owner Jerry Jones lists three objectives before the Cowboys break training camp: One, avoid injuries to key players. Two, decide how to proceed in those opening weeks without defensive end Greg Hardy and linebacker Rolando McClain. And three, have a firm grasp on what this team will do on both sides of the ball when it opens the regular season against the New York Giants on Sept. 13.
“I like what we’re doing offensively in terms of what we’re planning to run, where we are as far as installing that, how we’re going to work that as far as the next games are concerned,” Jones said. “That tells me we’re going to be ready for the Giants.
“So in order, keep working, be smart about these injuries, be smart about how we push a player to work through an injury, make sure that any players we get out here, that we really do make sure those guys are in shape and ready and don’t get them out here too soon.”
Smart means cautious. Eight starters didn’t take part in Sunday’s team drills as the Cowboys prepare for two straight days of work against the St. Louis Rams...
