The Cowboys break camp sometime today and head back to the new stadium in preparation for Friday's game and the rest of the pre-season.

My favorite story from Camp this year is probably the foot race story.

My least favorite story (other than injuries) was the legal beagles putting a stop to Roy Williams choosing a youngster to be his assistant for the day. After party has to have a pooper and lawyers are the big turds.

Most encouraging aspect of this Camp was probably screens and the maturation of Bennett in the Offense.

Most troubling is probably the lingering questions about depth.

Most disturbing/troubling/horrifying thing about camp was the Alamodome (as compared to Cowboys Stadium)

Those are my concerns as well Hos.Other than that,it was a boring training camp,huh?
Yeah, and I am kind of glad about that. This team is either flying under the radar or every bit as bad as the experts seem to think.

I can not agree with this. This past season is an example where that wasn't true. I believe the odds favor us having depth problems again this season.

It was great. I didn't think Jerry could tolerate such a drama-free, meat-and-potatoes kind of camp, but he did.

That plus no major injuries makes this camp as good as could've been hoped for.

I was worried about depth on the OL and at NT going into the off-season, into FA, and into the Draft.

I'm still concerned about depth at those positions after all these months.

I think last off-season many of us on this Board had concerns about depth at back-up QB with B Johnson. Unfortunately, we were proven correct.

I hope this time I'm wrong in spades with respect to lack of OL and NT depth.

I do not believe that the depth is as bad as last year.

Holland is now the backup OG, and he is a better OG than Proctor. Proctor is a solid backup C. And Free so far is showing signs of being a solid OT backup.

At CB, all indications are we are three deep with starters, and Alan Ball seems to be a solid #4 CB.

We also are still 4 deep at WR, and two and it is looking like maybe even 3 deep at TE as well. The only spot where I have serious concerns about depth are LB and S, but all are rookie and hopefully will continue to improve.

Becides, injuries can't be near as bad as they were last year. We were hammered by injuries last year.

I'm glad we flew under the radar. We were such a non story this camp, and it felt good.

Now we need to go and put a good product out on the field like I know we can!

The difference is, Johnson had proved in the preseason games, that he was NOT very good anymore.

Against the Raiders atleast Free and Holland and Savaii both were all solid.

My favorite training camp pic was the one with Rich Behm watching from the sidelines in his wheelchair. He should be a great inspiration for the whole team this season. My least favorite pic was one of Rowdy on stage during the training camp kickoff party.

I agree.

Perhaps Jerry's attention was focused on Arlington and his new stadium. It was a good distraction for him.

I think Free and Holland are going to be fine.

I'm a bit concerned about Proctor and McQ on the OL.

As for Savaii, not really sure what to think yet. Some reports say that the ILBs were out of position, others says that the DL 2nd team weren't doing their job.

Guess I'm still mixed regarding Savaii.
