Near the end of Wednesday’s organized team activities, rookie defensive end Randy Gregory quickly made his way to the sideline. The second-round pick wasn’t injured, he just had to vomit.

The warm weather had won the battle.

“It’s doing its work on me,” Gregory responded when asked about the Texas heat. “It’s a lot different than Nebraska. The humidity is a little bit different. When it rains, the next couple of days it’s always hot, so I’m still trying to get used to it.

“I think my conditioning is getting a little bit better. I think I overhydrated a little bit [Wednesday]. I was throwing up on the sidelines, but I think I’m getting better with my body right now.”

One of Gregory’s top offseason goals is to add weight. He weighed in at 235 pounds during the scouting combine in February. Cowboys coaches would like him closer to 250-255 pounds. Gregory said Wednesday that he’s up to 243.

Outside of adding weight, what has Gregory thought of his NFL experience?

I figured 250 to 255 is about the right playing weight for him.

Must be crazy for Tyron, in the past going up against a 94 in the offseason and getting schooled, which he became significantly better for it, now its his time to return the favor..

I love the fact randy is going against Tyron and has Greg hardy there too. Both will help him progress rapidly. And we can't forget about Demarcus Lawrence too.

He certainly doesn't look small going up against Tyron, so I'm not all that concerned about weight.

 

[reddyuta]

Its not that hot yet,he better get used to it.

I agree, not even throw up weather yet. August in Texas can be brutal

No kidding.

The rookies need to running in the afternoon every day leading up to TC.

It wouldn't surprise me if most of Gregory's struggles are because of the moisture level in the air. Nebraska has been known to heat up as well but I doubt he has dealt with the humidity as often as he is now.

Let's see where he's at in Week 12.

That's my guess. Humidity is a killer if you're not used to it...though I didn't think Texas was all that humid.

Overhydration will get you too. It sounds dumb, but if you over-prepare for the heat by just chugging water all day, you'll puke pretty easily.

It has been very humid here recently.

Better to be over-hydrated and puke than to be dehydrated and get injured.

Ever been to Beaumont you need gills to breathe int hat town especially in the evening.

I lived on the beach in Naples FL for 5 years and Dallas is consistently more humid. Not even just my opinion. Dallas is always a higher percentage.

Texas is not humid at all compared to my state Mississippi. Having training camp in the South would help with their conditioning IMO.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Training camp battle I can't wait to see.

DFW gets just as humid as anywhere in the southeast. I've lived in Dallas and currently in north Mississippi and the same weather patterns basically run through both places.

 

[Sarge]

He needs a new facemask.

I really think we're sleeping on this D Law kid.

I'm about as competitive a person that you are ever going to meet. I have to think all pro athletes are the same way.

D Law has to be biting at the chomp to prove he's as good as anyone on the team.

Love how we have guys who are hungry as opposed to those who are complacent.

Competition makes everyone better.

I can feel a big difference between Dallas and South Mississippi. The temps may be higher in Dallas , but it is a dryer heat and feels cooler. When family members from Dallas have visited in the past, we have had to take a couple of them to the ER after being outdoors doing various activities. Same routine every time. They get dehydrated and have to get a drip. They have had to take salt tablets as well. I have always joked that Texas heat was like being in a oven while Mississippi heat is more like being in a pot of boiling water. North Mississippi has a slightly different climate than the southern part of the state.
