Dallas Cowboys Prepare for the Season
Same Questions, Different Ending
As the Dallas Cowboys' training camp in Oxnard, California came to a close, the same questions were being asked. Will the team be able to improve on their last season's performance? Can they stay healthy and avoid the injury bug that plagued them in the past? These are just a few of the many uncertainties surrounding the team as they head into the regular season.
Good Timing for Malik Davis
One bright spot in the Cowboys' training camp was the emergence of rookie running back Malik Davis. With the departure of Ezekiel Elliott, Davis has stepped up and shown that he has the potential to fill the void in the backfield. His speed and agility have impressed coaches and teammates, making him a promising addition to the team.
Young Guys Taking a Back Seat
While the veteran players have been taking most of the snaps in training camp, the young guys have been limited in their playing time. This has raised questions about their readiness and ability to contribute to the team. However, head coach Mike McCarthy has stated that this was a strategic decision to protect the young players and allow them to develop at their own pace.
