Looks skinny in that photo.

Perhaps he needs to hang around with Romo to get some meat on those bones.

So you're telling me that league rules state that the teams first 3 practices of training camp have to be walk throughs with no pads? I don't think so. Garrett is being soft on them because everyone is scared of injures.

They are allocated a certain number of full contact practices and it is coaches discretion when to use the time. At least that's how I understood it.

Meanwhile, already...
San Francisco lost Kendal Hunter
Jacksonville lost Cecil Shorts (6-7 wks)
Colts lost Vic Ballard
Etc

Like I said, pansy training camp. This team is going to be softer than my new pillow.

Such a troll response...

They are all like this now, thanks to the new CBA.

The first padded practice is later on today.

with no hitting and tackling,Garrett seemed to have veered extremely to the other way concerning training camp because of all the injuries the past few years.

So is every other team then so what difference does it make if you are indeed correct? Or is it just the Cowboys that are affected and not everyone despite all TC's experiencing this?

He's trollin

Article 23, Preseason Training Camps, Section 6, Conduct of Practices:

(a) The first day of a Club's preseason training camp shall be limited to physical examinations, meetings, and classroom instruction; no on-field activities shall be permitted other than running and conditioning. No contact shall be permitted and no pads shall be worn during the second and third days of Preseason Training Camp. Thereafter, two-a-day practices shall be permitted, subject to the following rules: (i) players may be on the field for a total of no more than four hours per day; (n) players may participate in no more than one padded practice per day, which shall be no longer than three hours of on-field activities; (ii)i there must be at least a three hour break after the practice; and (iv) the second practice on the same day may only be for a maximum of the remaining available on-field time, and shall be limited to only "walk-through" instruction (i.e., no helmets, full-speed pre-snap, and walking pace after the snap). The three-hour limit on padded practices shall begin as soon as position coaches begin to coach players on the field. The definition of a "padded practice" under this Article shall be the same as the definition used for regular season practices in Article 24, Section l (c) of this Agreement. In the event that a Club begins a padded practice but such practice is cancelled within sixty minutes of its commencement due to inclement weather or for any other reason beyond the Club's control, such practice shall not count as a padded practice under this Article or Article 24.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything in Article 24, it shall not be a violation of any provision of this Agreement pertaining to the prohibition or limitation on wearing of helmets or shoulder pads, nor shall it constitute a "padded practice," if: (i) quarterbacks, kickers, punters, and/or long-snappers only wear helmets and/or shoulder pads during practice at the option of the player; (n) a player who, because of a head injury, is directed by the Club physician to wear a helmet as a precautionary measure at all practices; or (iii) the quarterback and/or the defensive player who receives signals from the coaching staff via helmet communication wear helmets during the team period in which helmets are used for such communication.

Well, the current state of the league makes more sense now.

I thought the same thing...but he looked that way out of pads with the Raiders too....then he puts them on and is pretty beastly. Not worried.
