>> "IT'S MORNING, AND THOMAS WAKES TO HEAR THE WHISTLE. DOESN'T SOUND WELL AT ALL. 'THANK YOU, THOMAS,' TOOTS HENRY, AS HE BEGINS THE DOWNHILL RUN." WHERE'S HENRY? [ WHISTLE BLOWS ] >> [ BABBLES ] >> GOOD JOB. <i> >> IT'S TIME FOR TRAINING CAMP</i> <i> FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS TO KICK</i> <i> OFF A SEASON THAT NEEDS TO</i> <i> FINISH WITH A PLAYOFF WIN</i> <i> AT LEAST.</i> <i> >> THERE ARE GREAT EXPECTATIONS</i> <i> FOR THIS FOOTBALL TEAM, IF THEY</i> <i> CAN GET LAST YEAR BEHIND THEM.</i> <i> FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR,</i> <i> THEY LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND OF</i> <i> THE PLAYOFFS.</i> <i> >> WITH ALL THE TALENT THAT</i> <i> THIS TEAM HAS AND THE MOVES</i> <i> THAT JERRY MADE IN</i> <i> THE OFF-SEASON, THIS SEASON IS</i> <i> ABOUT ONE THING --</i> <i> WIN A SUPER BOWL.</i> <i> WIN.</i> >> Narrator: THIS IS NO ORDINARY HELMET. THE STAR SETS IT APART. IT SYMBOLIZES THE MOST GLAMOROUS TEAM IN PROFESSIONAL SPORT. FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS, THE STAR IS MORE THAN A SYMBOL. IT'S A WAY OF LIFE. >> HEY, BUDDY. LET'S CHANGE THAT DIAPER. LET'S CHANGE THAT DIAPER. THIS IS ONE THING I WON'T MISS DOING WHILE I'M GONE FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. >> [ COOING ] >> YEAH. >> JASON'S A GREAT DAD. IT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST HELP HAVING HIM AROUND FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS TO HELP WITH BOTH THE BOYS. >> WHAT IS THIS? >> IS THAT A MONKEY? >> OOH AHH AHH! >> [ LAUGHS ] OOH OOH AHH AHH. >> CJ IS ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD. HE KNOWS THAT HIS DAD HAS BEEN AROUND EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS, AND HE'S GOING TO BE PROBABLY WALKING AROUND THE HOUSE SAYING "DADA" FOR A LOT OF THE TIME, AND THAT'LL BREAK YOUR HEART. >> WE'RE ALL SET. >> Narrator: VETERAN TIGHT END JASON WITTEN IS AN OLD HAND AT BOTH ACCIDENTS AND NFL TRAINING CAMPS. ROOKIE TIGHT END MARTELLUS BENNETT HAS A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT BOTH. >> BAD DOG. YEAH, YOU KNOW YOU WAS WRONG. >> Narrator: HEADING INTO HIS FIRST NFL TRAINING CAMP, BENNETT HAS A SURVIVAL PLAN FOR DEALING WITH THE INEVITABLE ROOKIE HAZING. >> I'LL TAKE THE GANDHI APPROACH -- WHATEVER YOU DO, I'LL ENJOY IT. YOU WANT TO THROW ME IN THE ICE TUB, HEY, OOH, IT FEELS GOOD. YOU KNOW? YOU WANT TO CUT MY HAIR? MAN, I'VE BEEN NEEDING A HAIRCUT. I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE. SEE, IF I HAD MONEY LIKE JAKE LONG, I WOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE, BUT SINCE -- YOU KNOW, SECOND-ROUND DRAFT PICK, WE DON'T GET 37 MILLION, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO I WOULD MOVE CLOSER TO THE FACILITY. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE. ACTUALLY, I COULD GET A MOPED, SAVE MONEY ON GAS, 'CAUSE IT INCREASES EVERY DAY. YOU KNOW, PRETTY SOON, IT'LL BE $4.50, WHICH IS A MEAL AT McDONALD'S. WHOEVER INVENTED SUITCASES WITH WHEELS, THAT WAS A GREAT INVENTION. I WISH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT FIRST. I THINK OF STUFF ALL THE TIME, THEN I LOOK AROUND AND SOMEBODY ALREADY DONE IT. I'M LIKE, MAN, WHAT THEY DOING? >> IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LONG, BIG STRIDE OR BIG STEP, YOU'RE WASTING TIME. IF YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT MOTIONS, LIKE BOB'S TALKING ABOUT, YOU'RE WASTING TIME. THE WHOLE IDEA, AS A QUARTERBACK, IS TO BE FASTER, QUICKER, GET THE BALL OFF, GET IT TO YOUR SPOT QUICKER. WAIT TO YOUR RIGHT SIDE QUICKLY. >> Narrator: QUARTERBACK TONY ROMO'S LOVE OF THE GAME IS EASY TO SEE. >> 60/40 RIGHT AND LEFT. >> Narrator: HE SPENT THE OFF-SEASON TEACHING FOOTBALL IN HIS WISCONSIN HOMETOWN AND WATCHING IT WITH HIS FAMILY. >> THAT'S GOT TO BE -- IS THAT THE OLD... OH, STEVE LARGENT. <i> >> HE TOOK A TREMENDOUS SHOT</i> <i> EARLIER.</i> >> I THINK, WHEN HE RETIRED, HE WAS THE ALL-TIME LEADING RECEIVER IN HISTORY. SEE YOU GUYS. >> ALL RIGHT, GOOD LUCK. >> THANKS. >> SEE YOU, BE WELL, HAVE FUN. >> ALL RIGHT, I WILL. I LOVE YOU GUYS. >> YEP. LOVE YOU, TOO. >> GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU'RE GOING TO COME OUT TO CAMP. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> SEE YOU, CJ. BYE-BYE. >> COME ON, WE'LL WALK OUTSIDE. LET'S GO. [ CJ CRYING ] >> NO, PUPPY DOGGY. >> Narrator: THE COWBOYS' TRAINING CAMP IS IN OXNARD, CALIFORNIA, 1,500 MILES FROM DALLAS. >> REMEMBER FROM LAST TIME? >> Narrator: BUT WHEN YOU'RE AMERICA'S TEAM, YOUR FANS ARE NEVER FAR AWAY. >> HEY, COACH. >> I'M GETTING ALL THIS. THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I LOVE THE COWBOYS. >> HOW ABOUT THIS WELCOME, TONY? >> OH, IT'S NICE. PEOPLE OVER HERE ARE REALLY RECEPTIVE, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE PRETTY EXCITED, SO IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD, UH -- GOOD CAMP. TO JOHN? >> YES. >> J-O-H-N OR "N"? >> I HAVE NO IDEA. IT'S FOR MY ROOMMATE. >> ALL RIGHT. >> MY SON-IN-LAW LIVES IN FORT WORTH, AND HE TOLD ME TO SAY HELLO TO YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU'RE WELCOME, NO PROBLEM. >> Narrator: ALL THE ADULATION IS A REMINDER OF THE COWBOYS' STAR POWER, BUT WHILE THE FRANCHISE HAS WON THE SUPER BOWL FIVE TIMES, THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE COWBOYS HAS YET TO EVEN WIN A PLAYOFF GAME. >> ROMO CAN'T GET THE SPOT DOWN! ROMO'S GOING TO RUN IT IN! HE'S HIT, HE'S KNOCKED DOWN! HE DOESN'T GET THERE! >> Narrator: EACH OF THE LAST TWO SEASONS HAS ENDED IN A BITTER LAST-SECOND LOSS. >> AN INTERCEPTION WITH 9 SECONDS LEFT IS GOING TO END THE DALLAS COWBOYS' SEASON. >> Narrator: THE COWBOYS ARRIVE IN OXNARD TO DO A JOB, AND LIKE ALL TRAVELERS ON BUSINESS, LIFE'S LITTLE ANNOYANCES ARE EVERYWHERE. >> THAT'S MY BAG RIGHT THERE! COMING DOWN. >> I CAN'T FIND IT. I AIN'T -- JUST BOUGHT IT. >> THAT ONE? >> THIS ONE RIGHT HERE? >> LET'S SEE IF THAT'S MINE. >> I SHOULD PUT A NAME TAG ON IT OR SOMETHING. I THINK IT'S A SAMSONITE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> THAT'S ME UP HERE. ... >> 14? WAIT A MINUTE. >> Narrator: THERE'S NO EASY WAY TO ENTER THE NFL. IT'S EVEN HARDER TO BECOME A COWBOY. 27 OF THE 80 MEN IN CAMP WILL BE DENIED ACCESS. >> [ LAUGHS ] >> Narrator: NOT EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE TEAM. SOME PLAYERS ARE ALL ABOUT MAKING A SCENE. >> HEY, WHAT'S UP, ADAM? >> WHERE YOU AT? >> RIGHT THERE. KEEP THE NOISE DOWN, NOISE DOWN. >> 216. >> THAT WHAT YOU GOT TO REPORT AT? >> YEAH. I'M LIKE 210 THOUGH. >> I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY WEIGHT. 'CAUSE I DON'T EAT EVERYTHING I SEE LIKE YOU. >> 2-WHAT? 2-WHAT? >> TOO SEXY. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. >> THAT BOY CRAZY, MAN. >> WHEN YOU PLAY IN DALLAS, IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE ATTENTION, THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PRODUCE ON SUNDAYS. I WON'T POINT OUT THE PLAYER WHO SAID THOSE WORDS, BUT, UH, HE WEARS A SINGLE-DIGIT JERSEY NUMBER, HE THROWS WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, HE LIKES BLONDE-HEADED GIRLS... [ LAUGHTER ] AND HE GREW UP IN WISCONSIN. THE FIRST PERSON I WANT TO INTRODUCE IS SOMEBODY THAT YOU ALL KNOW AND DOESN'T NEED ANY INTRODUCTION -- THE OWNER OF OUR TEAM, JERRY JONES. >> THANK YOU, GUYS. THANK YOU, GUYS. SOME PEOPLE THINK I CAN SELL THINGS, THAT I'M A SALESMAN. AND I'VE BEEN ASKED BEFORE, WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO BEING A GOOD SALESMAN? AND I SAY, WELL, THERE'S FIVE THINGS. FIRST, ASK FOR THE MONEY. [ LAUGHTER ] AND I'VE FORGOTTEN THE OTHER FOUR. [ LAUGHTER ] THE COWBOYS ARE A BIG DEAL. WE'RE THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT PEOPLE LOOK AT. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I LIKE PLAYING ON BROADWAY. I LIKE IT. I COULD BE DOING ANYTHING IN THE WORLD I WANT TO BE DOING THIS MORNING, AND I WANT TO BE HERE WITH YOU. I WANT TO BE HERE WITH THE COWBOYS. >> Narrator: NOT EVERYONE IS HERE. BEFORE THE FIRST WHISTLE OF CAMP EVEN BLOWS, THE COWBOYS ARE CONFRONTED WITH THEIR FIRST HARD DECISION -- WHAT TO DO WITH INJURED WIDE RECEIVER TERRY GLENN. WHAT JONES DOES HAVE IS A BUNCH OF UNPROVEN YOUNG RECEIVERS, LIKE THIRD-YEAR MAN SAM HURD, WHO'S JUST MOVED UP THE DEPTH CHART BEFORE HAVING CAUGHT A SINGLE PASS AT CAMP. >> WE HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED THIS YET, BUT WE'RE WAIVING TERRY. >> YOU'RE GOING TO WAIVE HIM? >> WAIVE HIM, YEAH. AND THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO, TECHNICALLY, AND THEN, IF HE FELT LIKE HE COULD REALLY COME BACK AND GET IT IN HIM, WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT, BUT TECHNICALLY, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING, SO... >> I'M HERE. I'M HERE, MR. JONES. MR. JONES. >> MM-HMM. OKAY, SAM. >> I'M HERE. >> Narrator: HURD WILL CHALLENGE NUMBER 84, PATRICK CRAYTON, WHO IS CURRENTLY THE TEAM'S NUMBER TWO RECEIVER, DESPITE HIS CRITICAL DROP IN LAST JANUARY'S PLAYOFF LOSS TO THE GIANTS. >> AND PUMPS AND PULLS. AND TURNS AND THROWS. AND CRAYTON... DROPPED THE BALL AT THE 30, AND HE'D HAVE HAD HIS FIRST DOWN. AND CRAYTON HAD UNCOVERED, AND HE WAS GOING TO RUN SOME. >> I USE THAT AS MOTIVATION. IF I WAS A RACE CAR, THAT IS ACTUALLY MY FUEL. EVERY DAY IN PRACTICE, I CLICK IT ON AND REMIND MYSELF, YOU KNOW, YOU DROPPED ONE IN THE PLAYOFFS, YOU DROPPED ONE IN THE PLAYOFFS. YOU KNOW, YOU TOOK SO MUCH CRITICISM FOR THAT, SO, YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. HISTORY WON'T REPEAT ITSELF. >> YOU KNOW, I MADE NO SECRET ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY OPPOSITE TERRELL THAT CAN MAKE PLAYS, THAT GIVES THE DEFENSE -- SCARES THE DEFENSE. >> YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN HEARING ALL THE DIFFERENT MEDIA TALK ABOUT THEY NEED ANOTHER RECEIVER OPPOSITE TERRELL OWENS. SO NOW IT'S A POINT TO PROVE THAT I CAN BE THAT GUY. GO OUT THERE THIS YEAR, STEP YOUR GAME UP, SHOW THAT YOU CAN DO, MAKE MORE PLAYS. >> HUT! >> [ GRUNTS ] GET OFF ME. >> ATTABOY, PATRICK CRAYTON. THAT'S OUTSTANDING. LOVE IT, PATRICK. ATTABABY, ATTABABY. >> OOH, WATCH OUT. I'M BACK, BABY. >> Narrator: SO IS THIS MAN -- ADAM JONES. HE'S HOPING TO BE REINSTATED FROM A YEARLONG SUSPENSION BY THE COMMISSIONER. >> HE HAS AN EXAMPLE TO BLOW IT ALL AND NEVER HAVE ANY OF THE REWARDS OF BEING AN NFL FOOTBALL... >> YEAH. >> OR HE HAS A CHANCE TO BE ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING IN THE NFL AND ALL THE REWARDS THAT GO WITH IT. ALL OF HIS BENEFIT-OF-THE-DOUBT COLLATERAL ARE USED UP. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE ODDS OF HIM SAYING, "LOOK, I CAN'T MESS UP," ARE VERY GOOD. >> OH, YEAH! NICE JOB, PAC! TOUGH, COMPETITIVE. THE THING I LIKE ABOUT HIM THE MOST IS NOT HIS ABILITY. IT'S HIS COMPETITIVENESS. THE GUY WANTS TO BE THE BEST, AND HE'S COACHABLE. HE LISTENS. >> Narrator: JONES NOT ONLY HAS TALENT, BUT A SKILL MOST OF HIS TEAMMATES HAVE NEVER SEEN. >> GO GET HIM, GO GET HIM! >> PACMAN COMES IN HERE THE OTHER DAY, AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY BALLS HE'S CAUGHT AT ONE TIME AND HOLDING THEM AT THE SAME TIME. YOU KNOW, HE STARTS OFF WITH FIVE, AND IT STARTS GROWING LIKE A MYTHICAL LEGEND. >> DID YOU SEE THAT? >> WHAT'S THAT? >> PAC. CAUGHT SIX PUNTS -- SIX BALLS. HE HAD FIVE, AND HE CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE. ...CATCHES IT. >> SIX BALLS? >> HE HAD SIX FOOTBALLS WITH NONE OF THEM TOUCHING THE GROUND. >> THAT WAS AMAZING. >> IT WAS. I MEAN, HE TOLD ME SIX. HE SAID, "I'VE DONE SIX." 'CAUSE -- AND I SAID, "NO." PUT IT UNDER HIS ARM, CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE, CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE. >> ARE YOU KIDDING? >> CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE. FIVE. PUTTING THREE UNDER THIS ARM AND TWO UNDER THAT ONE AND CATCHES ANOTHER ONE. CAUGHT SIX. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO THAT BEFORE. >> DO WE HAVE THIS THING ON TAPE SOMEWHERE? I'D LOVE TO SEE IT. >> OH! >> I GOT ONE. I GOT TWO. I GOT THREE. I GOT FOUR. >> OH! >> I GOT FIVE. >> WANT ANOTHER ONE? >> HOLD UP. >> OH-HO! [ LAUGHS ] WELL, HE GET TO SIX. I'M LIKE, "...I CAN'T LET HIM OUTDO ME." >> I KNOW CRAYTON WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CHALLENGE. >> OH! [ LAUGHTER ] >> Narrator: LIFE IN THE NFL CAN FEEL LIKE A CIRCUS. THE COWBOYS' RINGMASTER IS HEAD COACH WADE PHILLIPS. >> HE'S COACHED AGAINST TOM LANDRY, CHUCK NOLL, BILL WALSH, BILL BELICHICK, DON SHULA... [ LAUGHTER ] AND HE'S WON MOST OF THE TIME. >> WHEN I WAS COACHING AGAINST, UM, LOMBARDI AND GEORGE HALAS... AND BRONCO NAGURSKI, I COACHED HIM. >> YOU COACHED HIM? YOU DIDN'T COACH AGAINST HIM? I WANT TO JUST LIST THE GUYS YOU COACHED AGAINST. >> AND IT WAS THE THREE HORSEMEN WHEN I STARTED, INSTEAD OF FOUR. >> WADE TOLD ME WHEN I HIRED HIM. HE SAID, "I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY REPUTATION AND HOW I'M PERCEIVED AS A FOOTBALL COACH. I WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS AS A HEAD COACH. AND BEING HEAD COACH OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS IS A MOTIVATION TO ME TO GET THE JOB DONE." IT SINGULARLY WAS THE THING THAT SOLD ME ON MAKING HIM THE HEAD COACH. AND IN THIS OFF-SEASON, THERE WAS A LOT OF SKEPTICISM BECAUSE I WANTED JASON GARRETT TO NOT TAKE TWO HEAD COACHING OPPORTUNITIES HE HAD IN THE NFL. >> WHY DON'T YOU GO OVER, OFFENSIVELY, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TOMORROW A LITTLE BIT. >> JUST KIND OF BASE, DAY ONE INSTALLATION. IT'S ALL STUFF THEY KNOW. >> I VISITED TWO OR THREE TIMES WITH WADE. HE REALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR CHANCE TO WIN IF WE KEPT JASON GARRETT ON AS THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. >> I KNOW THEY'RE ASKING YOU, THEY'RE ASKING ME ABOUT EXPECTATIONS AND ALL THOSE THINGS. I DON'T EXPECT ANY MORE OF YOU THAN YOU EXPECT OF YOURSELF. >> WE THE BEST, ON THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE. >> WE THE BEST. >> I THINK EXPECTATIONS ARE A GOOD THING. I LIKE TO WRITE A CHECK WITH MY MOUTH THAT MY YOU-KNOW-WHAT HAS TO COVER. 13 WINS LAST YEAR. WE KNOW WE CAN BE BETTER. >> Narrator: THAT MEANS WINNING IN THE POSTSEASON, SOMETHING DALLAS HASN'T DONE IN 12 YEARS. BUT THE COWBOYS HAVE THE STAR POWER TO CHANGE THAT. >> THAT A WAY. >> YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 13 PRO BOWLERS AND PROBABLY 5 OTHER GUYS WHO CAN BE PRO BOWLERS. >> BY THE FANS, THEY SAY, "BOY, SUPER BOWL, YOU GOT TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL." >> HEY, GET 'EM TO TAMPA, WADE. GET 'EM TO TAMPA, BABY. >> HEY, IT'S PREMATURE AND ALMOST RIDICULOUS TO TALK ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A FOOTBALL TEAM YET. >> Narrator: TRAINING CAMP CAN BE A SLOG, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO WEAR A SHELL AND A HELMET EVERY DAY. BUT NOT FOR FELIX JONES, THE COWBOYS' TOP DRAFT PICK, WHO REMAINS UNSIGNED TWO DAYS INTO CAMP. >> HELLO? EUGENE! I WAS JUST FIXING TO DIAL YOU UP. WHAT I REALLY PROBABLY NEED SOME HELP ON IS I'VE BEEN NEGOTIATING AGAINST MYSELF IN WHAT I SENT YOU. I SENT YOU AN OFFER, AND THEN I SENT YOU ANOTHER OFFER. WHERE ARE YOU THINKING? THE IMPORTANT THING ON THESE DRAFT PICKS, ESPECIALLY THESE NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICKS, IS I THINK THE REPRESENTATIVES GET A LITTLE NERVOUS BECAUSE THEY GO OUT AND RECRUIT NEXT YEAR OFF OF THESE CONTRACTS. SO THEY REALLY WANT TO HAVE A CONTRACT, AND TO BE QUITE CANDID WITH YOU, WE WANT THEM TO HAVE A CONTRACT THAT'S FAIR. WE GOT A GOOD MIND JUST TO... NOT CALL HIM BACK TONIGHT. >> IT'S LIKE WE'RE WAITING ON A GIRL TO CALL US, AND WE WANT HER TO ASK US OUT. >> Narrator: THE RELATIONSHIP HAD A MUCH DIFFERENT FEEL ON DRAFT DAY FOUR MONTHS AGO. >> THE DALLAS COWBOYS ARE ON THE CLOCK. >> IT LOOKS LIKE POSSIBLY MENDENHALL AND FELIX WILL BE THERE AT THE SAME PICK. GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHT ON THEM. >> THE ONE GUY IS AN EVERY DOWN BACK. THE OTHER GUY IS A SPECIAL, COMPLIMENTARY BACK, AND WE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE AN EVERY DOWN BACK IN MARION BARBER HERE. FELIX COMPLIMENTS OUR GUY REALLY WELL RIGHT NOW. >> LET'S GO JONES. LET'S GO FELIX. >> WITH THE 22nd PICK IN THE 2008 NFL DRAFT, THE DALLAS COWBOYS SELECT FELIX JONES, RUNNING BACK, ARKANSAS. >> WHOO! >> ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. >> WHOO! >> LOOK AT THIS. >> I KNOW. >> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH HIM, AREN'T WE? >> I THINK YOU'VE GOT THE BEST OF ME HERE. <i> >> GOOD LUCK TO YOU.</i> <i> THIS COULDN'T GET ANY EASIER</i> <i> FOR YOU.</i> <i> I MEAN, I --</i> <i> THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS CALL</i> <i> A LAYUP.</i> >> ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH US GOING AHEAD AND GETTING HIM HEADED THIS WAY? <i> >> WHEN DO YOU WANT HIM OUT</i> <i> THERE?</i> <i> FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?</i> >> I MEAN, I'D LIKE HIM ON THE RED-EYE. I MEAN, WE NEED HIM HERE. >> HOW YOU BEEN? >> ALL RIGHT. >> COULD BE BETTER. >> OKAY, THERE'S YOUR SIGNING BONUS -- $20. >> CAN I BORROW SOME MONEY? [ LAUGHS ] >> HEY, IT'S FELIX. [ CROWD CHANTING "FELIX" ] >> HE KIND OF WENT IN THERE THE VERY FIRST DAY. I MEAN, HE'D JUST GOT OFF A PLANE. HE, YOU KNOW, FLEW ALL MORNING, GOT HERE, YOU KNOW, GOT FITTED FOR HIS GEAR, AND THEN HE CAME OUT TO PRACTICE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE HAD TO PICK UP AN OUTSIDE LINEBACKER. >> HEY. [ WHISTLE BLOWS ] LOOKED LIKE THE GUY WAS A LITTLE HEAVY FOR HIM, SO HE KIND OF BOUNCED HIM AROUND, SO I SAID, "ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, WE NEED TO PROBABLY WORK ON A LITTLE TECHNIQUE WORK." >> Narrator: IF JONES WANTS TO MASTER BLOCKING TECHNIQUES, HE'D DO WELL TO WATCH NUMBER 24, STARTER MARION BARBER. FEW RUNNING BACKS CAN BUST A BLITZER BETTER THAN BARBER. >> GOOD HELP, GOOD HELP. LITTLE PUNCH. >> HUT! [ CROWD CHEERING ] >> YOU ALL RIGHT, YOU ALL RIGHT? HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON. >> YOU ALL RIGHT? >> OH! >> YOU DON'T WANT TO BE 58 RIGHT NOW. >> Narrator: JONES IS NOT ONLY LEARNING WHAT TO DO ON THE FIELD, BUT WHO TO AVOID OFF IT. >> THIS IS BIG TIME. GOT COWBOY FANS EVERYWHERE. I WAS A COWBOY FAN, TOO, SO YOU KNOW, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. >> YEAH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW HOW CRAZY IT WAS. I MEAN, THE FANS ARE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT, YEAH. 70. >> Narrator: AS THE WALK AND TALK COMES TO A HALT, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROOKIE AND VET BECOMES OBVIOUS. >> YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE YOU PLAYING A LOT OF PLAYS, SO... [ LAUGHTER ] >> AAH! AAH! YOU! >> I THOUGHT HE HAD, LIKE, A LITTLE PITCHER OF WATER. HE HAD A WHOLE TRASH CAN. HE CAME OVER THE TOP LIKE <i> FREE WILLY.</i> >> WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DALLAS COWBOYS? [ RUMBLING ] >> WELL, IT WAS A RELATIVELY QUIET LATE MORNING HERE AT COWBOYS TRAINING CAMP. THERE'S NO MORNING PRACTICE. SOME PLAYERS WERE IN MEETINGS, OTHERS WERE HAVING LUNCH, WHEN, AT 11:44, YOU COULD FEEL THE EARTH MOVE JUST SLIGHTLY. >> ABOUT A 5.8, BUT IT SHOOK IT. >> LORDY MERCY. >> I CAME OUTSIDE, AND I SAW MILES. WE BOTH CAME TO THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME. DID YOU HEAR THAT? DID YOU FEEL THAT? >> THE PLAYERS HERE AT COWBOYS CAMP DEFINITELY COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. >> NICE DRAMATICS. >> I THOUGHT THE PAUSE WAS GOOD. >> YEAH, THAT WAS GOOD. >> T.O.! T.O.! >> Narrator: THERE'S DRAMA, THEN THERE'S RECEIVER TERRELL OWENS, A GENRE UNTO HIMSELF. [ CROWD CHANTING "T.O.!" ] FROM THE CAMP'S FIRST WHISTLE, T.O. HAS BEEN A SHOWSTOPPER. >> I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR. I FEEL LIKE I'M LEANER, I'M FASTER, I'M STRONGER. I MEAN, I'M LOOKING TO DO SOME BIG THINGS. SOMETIMES I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M UNSTOPPABLE. >> GOOD WORK, "T." >> OWENS HAS BEEN PUTTING ON A SHOW EVERY DAY. >> T.O. WAS OUTSTANDING. >> HE WAS, WASN'T HE? >> HE IS... >> YEAH. >> HE TURNED QUICK. >> YEAH, THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF CUSHION. >> THAT'S NUMBER 81, BABY. HE STRIKES THE FEAR INTO 'EM. >> YEAH, YEAH. >> I'M FIGURED TO BE THAT NUMBER ONE GUY, YOU KNOW, THAT GO-TO GUY, AND I PRIDE MYSELF IN WORKING OUT, YOU KNOW, AS SUCH. THERE IS ANOTHER LEVEL THAT THIS TEAM IS TRYING TO TAKE, AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE TAKEN THOSE EXTRA STEPS TO DO THAT. >> HE WORKS HIS BUTT OFF. HE ACTUALLY GETS OUT THERE, AND HE WANTS TO WIN, AND HE WORKS HARD. IT'S EASY TO LIKE GUYS LIKE THAT. >> WE CAN TALK TILL WE'RE BLUE IN THE FACE, AS COACHES, AND WE CAN TEACH AND SHOW THE GUYS TAPE, BUT WHEN YOU'RE A YOUNG RECEIVER, AND YOU SEE A GUY LIKE TERRELL OWENS WORK LIKE HE DOES IN PRACTICE, IT REALLY AFFECTS THE REST OF THE GUYS VERY POSITIVELY. >> THAT'S OUTSTANDING. >> GREAT ROUTE, 81. >> I THINK HE'S IN THE TOP FIVE OF THE PLAYERS THAT I'VE BEEN AROUND SINCE I BEEN WITH THE COWBOYS IN 20 YEARS. >> Narrator: T.O. NOT ONLY HAS MOVES BUT MERCHANDISE. >> YOU GOT TO CHECK THIS OUT. I'LL BE WEARING THIS ONE TODAY. "iPRACTICE"... YOU SEE THAT? [ CLICKS TONGUE ] "TO WIN." "iLOVE"... "ME SOME ME." I SWIM, I DANCE, I ACT, I MODEL. EVERYTHING. >> YOU DO? >> HEY, YOU KING OF SHIRTS. YOU KING OF SHIRTS, MAN. >> HEY, MAN, I'M AN ENTREPRENEUR. [ LAUGHTER ] YOUR WHAT? >> MY SHIRT, MAN. iSACK, iBLOCK, iTACKLE. >> JESUS ON THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE. >> JESUS. >> I DIDN'T PUT NONE IN YOUR LOCKER? >> NAH. >> I GOT SOME. >> LET ME GET ONE. >> OKAY. YEAH, THESE SHIRTS GOING TO BE COMING TO YOU SOON. GONNA BE TOtees.com. YEAH, TOtees.com. YEAH. >> "iLOVE"... I DO LOVE. >> Narrator: THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE SIMILAR FASHION SENSE, ADAM JONES AND T.O. CLASH ON THE FIELD. >> I GOT ADAM JONES OVER THERE CALLING ME OUT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY. >> HE CALLED YOU OUT? >> YEAH! >> HE'S LINED UP ON T.O. EVERY TIME T.O. CAME UP. >> THERE YOU GO, PAC! >> I THINK THAT RUBS OFF ON OTHER PEOPLE, THE COMPETITION OF A REALLY GOOD PLAYER AGAINST ANOTHER BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN BOTH OF THEM. >> THE PROBLEM WAS JUST -- I SAW HIM -- PACMAN JUST DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB. HE PLAYED IT, AND HE PLAYED THE OTHER ONE. >> YOU READY? >> HUT! [ CROWD CHEERS ] >> IF HE WENT AND THROWN SHORT, YOU MIGHT WOULD HAVE GOT IT. >> YOU GONNA KEEP DOING DOUBLE MOVES? >> I'M WORKING ON MY -- >> ...DOUBLE MOVES. >> YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN ME AND ADAM, I'M GOING TO GET THE BEST OF IT. >> HE'S GETTING THE BEST OF PACMAN, BUT PACMAN AIN'T BACKING DOWN. >> Narrator: SOME ROOKIES, LIKE RUNNING BACK KEON LATTIMORE, HAVE TROUBLE MAKING THE STEP UP TO THE PROS. >> AAH! >> YOU ALL RIGHT, MAN? >> GUYS LOWER DOWN THE TOTEM POLE ARE GOING TO GET LESS REPS THAN THE GUYS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, FIRST OR SECOND STRING. THOSE REPS ARE VERY CRITICAL, AND YOU CAN'T REALLY HAVE TOO MANY MISTAKES BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MANY OPPORTUNITIES. >> BRING IT, 35. COME ON NOW. >> OH! >> KEEP IT TIGHTER, KEON. GOOD. COME ON NOW, COME ON NOW. WE GOT TO FINISH. KEON, COME HERE. HAVE YOUR HELMET READY, HAVE YOUR GLOVES READY, AND WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO, GET GOING, OKAY? CAN WE DO THAT? >> YES, SIR. >> KEON'S GOT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S DOING. THERE'S GOING TO BE A PLAY, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A REP, AND YOU NEED TO BE READY TO GO RUN THE PLAY. >> HOW DO THEY START THE NUMBER SYSTEM, COACH? LIKE, WHICH SIDE THEY START THE NUMBER FROM. >> WEAK TO STRONG. >> OH, WEAK TO STRO-- I THOUGHT IT WAS STRONG TO WEAK. OKAY, WEAK TO STRONG. >> THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY, DAY ONE INSTALLATION. >> YOUNG GUY COMING IN, TRYING TO LEARN THE BIG PLAYBOOK, AND WHEN YOU OUT THERE ON THE FIELD, YOU KNOW, NO ONE REALLY WANT TO WAIT AROUND FOR A GUY WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. YOU JUST GOT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, YOU KNOW, PAY ATTENTION IN MEETINGS AND JUST TRY TO PUT IT ALL ON THE FIELD WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE. >> Narrator: AFTER A ROUGH DAY, KEON CALLS HIS BIG BROTHER FOR ADVICE. <i> [ PHONE RINGING ]</i> <i> >> HELLO?</i> >> BIG BRO, WHAT'S GOING ON, BABY? <i> >> HMM. WHAT IT DO?</i> >> NOT MUCH. JUST CHILLIN', BABY. HOW YOU DOING? >> OH, I'M GOOD, MAN. WHAT Y'ALL GOT GOING ON TODAY? <i> >> NOTHING MUCH. I GOT MEETINGS</i> <i> IN A COUPLE MINUTES,</i> BUT YOU KNOW, JUST PRACTICE. WE GOT ONE PRACTICE TODAY. WE HAD OFF LAST NIGHT FOR MEETINGS. >> SO YOU FEELING GOOD THOUGH? <i> >> YEAH, I'M FEELING GOOD, BRO.</i> <i> YOU KNOW, FIRST CAMP.</i> JUST TAKING EVERYTHING IN. JUST GLAD TO BE A COWBOY, MAN. YOU KNOW THAT. <i> >> ABSOLUTELY.</i> I TOLD YOU, NOW, WE AIN'T GOT TIME TO BE TAKING NO BREAKS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, RIGHT? <i> >> OH, YEAH, YOU ALREADY KNOW I</i> <i> GOT IT.</i> >> ALL THE THINGS WE DONE TALKED ABOUT, MAN. <i> YOU HAVE TO WORK EVERY DAY.</i> <i> OPPORTUNITY IS AROUND US EVERY</i> <i> DAY, ALL RIGHT?</i> >> ALL RIGHT, BRO, I GOTS. >> HEY, STAY ON YOUR BIBLE, SAY YOUR PRAYERS, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF, STAY FOCUSED. ALL RIGHT, I LOVE YOU, BOY. >> OKAY, I LOVE YOU, TOO. LIKEWISE, BABY. <i> >> ALL RIGHT, BE GOOD.</i> >> ALL RIGHT. >> Narrator: ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PRACTICE, AND ANOTHER CHANCE FOR PATRICK CRAYTON TO MEET THE SIX-PACK CHALLENGE. >> RECORD'S FIVE, RIGHT? >> PAC CAUGHT SIX, RIGHT? >> I CAUGHT SIX YESTERDAY. >> ... THEY WOULD MAKE YOU WORK FOR ONE. UH-OH, THAT'S FOUR. YEAH, IT'S ALWAYS THE FIFTH ONE, AIN'T IT? STAY IN NOW, STAY IN NOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE HECK I'M GOING TO DO SIX THOUGH. ALL RIGHT, COME ON. >> THERE IT IS. >> DANG IT. >> HERE WE GO. >> OKAY, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. >> OH, THAT'S SIX! YOU WANT TO TRY ONE MORE? >> I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT ONE MORE. I'M GOING TO TRY IT THOUGH. >> HERE, HERE, HERE. >> NO, MAN! BACK UP, MAN! >> COME ON, I GOT 'EM, COME ON. >> OKAY. NUMBER SEVEN. >> LET'S GO FOR SEVEN. >> GOING FOR SEVEN. [ CHUCKLES ] >> I LIKE IT, MAN! I LIKE IT, BABY! >> UH-OH, UH-OH, THAT'S SEVEN! >> OH! COULDN'T GET IT. >> THAT'S A GOOD JOB, PATRICK. GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB. >> THEY AIN'T BREAKING SIX. >> PAT TIED THE RECORD. PATRICK TIED THE RECORD, YEAH. >> I TIED IT. SEVEN -- SEVEN THUMPED OFF OF ME. >> RUN, RUN, RUN! MOVE, MOVE! >> HUT! >> MOVE, MOVE! >> Narrator: CAMP IS GRUELING. FOR RELIEF, JUST ADD WATER. BUT FOR HEALING, YOU'VE GOT TO ADD ICE. >> THIS IS YOUR COLD TUB, AND IT'S GOING TO REPLENISH YOUR LEGS FOR THE NEXT PRACTICE. >> YOU GOT TO BE CRAZY. >> ONCE YOU GET IN, A MINUTE GOES BY, YOU'LL BE FINE. >> OHH, IT'S COLD! WHOO! >> DOES IT FEEL WARMER ALL OF A SUDDEN? OH, THAT'S WHEN YOU PEE, ISN'T IT? >> AH! >> YEAH. >> [ SIGHS ] >> OH, OH, OH... OH, MAN. OH, BOY! OH, MAMA, HELP ME. >> IT'S ALL ABOUT RECOVERY. YOU CAN'T RECOVER, YOU CAN'T PRACTICE. [ CROWD CHEERING ] >> Narrator: THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO BE A STAR NFL QUARTERBACK. FOR TONY ROMO, THE SWEETEST SOUND ISN'T A CROWD CALLING HIS NAME, NOR THE REFUGE OF A MOMENT'S SILENCE. FOR HIM, TRUE JOY IS THE SOUND OF THE PIGSKIN MEETING HIS RECEIVER'S HANDS. >> WHEN WE GO ON THE OFF-SEASON, AND WE'RE PLAYING A PICKUP BASKETBALL GAME, ROMO BRINGS A FOOTBALL TO THE GYM. IN BETWEEN GAMES, HE'S THROWING PASSES ACROSS THE GYM. I SAID, "DUDE, IT'S MARCH. I DON'T FEEL LIKE CATCHING. AND YOU'RE THROWING THE BALL HARD. I DON'T FEEL LIKE CATCHING, RO. JUST THROW AT SOMEBODY ELSE." THAT'S WHAT WE GOT TO HAVE AS A QUARTERBACK, YOU KNOW. YOU GOT TO HATE TO LOSE MORE THAN YOU LOVE TO WIN. >> BREAK, BREAK, BREAK. >> IN AND OUT OF HUDDLES. GOT TO BE A TEMPO TO THIS NOW. GOT TO BE A TEMPO TO THIS. >> 86, 86! READY? >> SET! >> WHOO! >> OOH, GOOD, HIT IT, ROMO. >> NICE PASS, 9. >> OOH! >> WHOO! >> I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, OUTSTANDING. >> 180. SET! >> IT'S A HIGH, FIRM THROW BY THE QUARTERBACK, RIGHT? HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO, A LITTLE TEMPO HERE. A SIMPLE TARGET TO THROW AT. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. NICE JOB, TONY ROMO. ATTABOY. I LOVE IT. >> I THINK HE'S DOING EVERYTHING THE RIGHT WAY MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND HE'S THE LEADER. >> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A DECISION HERE, DO Y'ALL? [ LAUGHTER ] COACH? ON TO THE NEXT... >> DO WE KEEP HIM? >> ISSUE. >> COACH. GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK HOME WHERE YOU BELONG, BABY. >> THANK YOU. >> AND DON'T TRY TO GET OUT OF HERE AGAIN, ALL RIGHT? DON'T DO IT. >> I'M A COWBOY AND ALWAYS WILL BE A COWBOY. >> Narrator: FROM 2000 TO 2002, DAVE CAMPO WAS THE COWBOYS' HEAD COACH. THIS SEASON, HE'S RETURNED TO BE THE DEFENSIVE BACKS COACH. >> I'M HOME, THAT'S IT. I AM A COWBOY. HAVE A GREAT TIME TODAY. HAVE SOME FUN. LET'S GO GET SOME BALLS. I BELIEVE THAT ENTHUSIASM BREEDS ENTHUSIASM. GO GET IT! HIT HIM UP! JAM HIM UP! JAM HIM UP! JAM HIM UP! PEOPLE SAY I YELL A LOT, BUT REALLY, I JUST TALK LOUD A LOT. GO! GET OUT THERE! GET THE HANDS ON HIM! OH! [ WHISTLE BLOWS ] ... ORLANDO... WHEN HE COMES INSIDE ON THE 4 YARD LINE, GET ON HIS... >> Narrator: WITH STARTER TERENCE NEWMAN INJURED, ROOKIES LIKE NUMBER 32, ORLANDO SCANDRICK, HAVE A CHANCE TO CATCH THE COACHING STAFF'S ATTENTION. >> SAME PLAY THAT HE FEEL DOWN ON EARLIER, HE LEARNED FROM IT, PLAYED IT RIGHT. I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. WE MIGHT HAVE TO ASK NEWMAN IF HE'S EVER HEARD OF WALLY PIPP. [ LAUGHS ] >> Narrator: WALLY PIPP NEVER DID GET HIS JOB BACK FROM LOU GEHRIG, BUT TERENCE NEWMAN DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY JUST YET. NEITHER DOES COACH CAMPO. HE'S BACK WHERE HE BELONGS. >> LET'S GO, DBs ON THREE. SNAP AND SLIDE. >> SLIDE AND SNAP. >> SLIDE AND SNAP. WHATEVER THE HECK IT IS. HERE WE GO. >> ARE WE GONNA GET THROUGH THE -- TODAY? >> ON THREE, HERE WE GO. ONE, TWO, THREE. >> DBs! >> OH! >> COME ON, YOU KNOW I DON'T WEAR ANY UNDERWEAR. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? >> YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF RULES, BUT AT COACH CAMPO'S REQUEST, I'M MAKING A RULE THAT YOU CAN'T PULL THE COACH'S PANTS DOWN ANYMORE, SO... [ LAUGHTER ] >> HUT! HUT! >> HUT! HUT! >> DRIVE IT, DRIVE IT, DRIVE IT! >> HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! >> Narrator: MOST NFL CAMPS FEATURE HARD HITTING AND LOTS OF IT. THE COWBOYS? OH, THERE'S PLENTY OF BATTLES, BUT NO CASUALTIES, AND THAT'S BY DESIGN. >> I AM NOT GOING TO OVERWORK THIS TEAM. YOU'RE GOING TO BE READY, AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE FRESH WHEN THE SEASON STARTS. WE HAD CAMP CUPCAKE LAST YEAR, SO THIS YEAR, IT'S CAMP MARSHMALLOW, SO... >> THE KEY IN THIS LEAGUE IS ATTRITION. AT THE END OF CAMP, YOU WANT TO HAVE AS MANY HEALTHY PLAYERS AS YOU CAN. >> NICE AND EASY, NICE AND EASY. THERE YOU GO. RIGHT THROUGH THERE. GOOD JOB, BOWEN. >> CALL IT CAMP CUPCAKE, BUT I CALL IT PROTECTING THE PLAYERS. >> IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES IF SOMEBODY GET HIT. >> WE HAVE A NO-HITTING POLICY. >> Narrator: THE NO-HITTING POLICY DOESN'T MAKE SAFETY ROY WILLIAMS A HAPPY CAMPER. AND WHILE WILLIAMS HAS CHANGED HIS NUMBER FROM 31 TO 38... >> HARDEST HITTER ALIVE, BABY. >> Narrator: HE HASN'T CHANGED HIS AGGRESSIVE STYLE. >> THERE WE GO, RIGHT THERE. >> IF ROY TRIES TO BANG SOMEBODY AT 7:07, WE GOT TO GET ON HIS... EARLY. >> BE CAREFUL HITTING OUR STARTERS NOW, RIGHT? >> SETTING THE TONE, COACH. >> YEP, WE'RE SETTING THE TONE, BUT LET'S BE SMART. >> SETTING THE TONE, COACH. >> Narrator: WILLIAMS HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN AS ONE OF THE GAME'S HARDEST HITTERS, BUT LAST YEAR, HE WAS CRITICIZED FOR BEING SOFT IN PASS COVERAGE. >> BEATS ROY WILLIAMS AS HE'S DONE HIS WHOLE CAREER. >> IT'S A MISMATCH EVERY TIME. >> I THINK ROY LOST A LITTLE BIT OF CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF THAT. >> I HAVEN'T SEEN A GUY GET MORE SCRUTINY FOR HAVING OVER 100 TACKLES IN MY LIFE. >> SET, HIT! >> LET'S GO, ROY! COME ON NOW! THERE YOU GO, TUCK IT AWAY. >> HEY, YOU HAD A GOOD DAY YESTERDAY. >> THANKS, COACH, MAN. >> REAL GOOD DAY, GOOD START. >> I FELT LIKE EVERYTHING WENT WELL. I MEAN, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THE COACHES WILL FIND SOMETHING TO SAY. >> JUST A LITTLE SLOW IN THE BREAK. WHO IS THAT? >> THAT'S ROY. >> I THINK HE IS DOING SOME THINGS BETTER THAN WHAT HE ENDED THE SEASON WITH LAST YEAR. HE'S CONSCIOUS ABOUT TRYING TO BECOME A BETTER COVER GUY. >> WILLIAMS IS GETTING BETTER. >> GOOD JOB, ROY! GOOD VISION! >> GOOD PEDAL. >> LOOK LIKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON -- LOOK AT HIM. >> HE DOES, LOOK AT HIM. HE'S IN FOOTBALL POSITION, AND HE'S RIGHT OF THE LINEBACKER. HE'S GOT THE ABILITY TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT HIM TO DO. >> Narrator: LIKE WILLIAMS, ROOKIE TIGHT END MARTELLUS BENNETT HAS A WORLD OF TALENT AND A GENUINE LOVE OF THE COWBOYS. >> IS THIS MARTELLUS? <i> >> YES, IT IS.</i> <i> JERRY JONES?</i> >> THIS IS JERRY JONES AND -- <i> >> AAH!</i> <i> [ SHOUTING ]</i> <i> JERRY JONES ON THE PHONE!</i> [ LAUGHTER ] I WAS JUST KIND OF STUNNED, YOU KNOW. I JUST STARTED LAUGHING, 'CAUSE MY DAD WAS DOING CHEST BUMPS AND BOOTY BUMPS, AND JERRY JONES WAS LAUGHING. THIS IS WHERE I SAID I WANTED TO BE, AND TO END UP HERE WAS A BLESSING. >> YOU ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT, OR HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IF HE'S READY. >> HE'S A LITTLE BIT IMMATURE, VERY TALENTED. YOU GOT TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON HIS THROAT, DON'T GIVE HIM AN INCH, AND SAY, "THIS IS HOW WE DO THINGS" -- BOOM. >> YOU LOVE FOOTBALL, MARTELLUS? SHOW IT IN YOUR PLAY. SHOW IT IN YOUR PLAY. >> COACH GARRETT, HE RIDES ME HARD. >> ALL RIGHT, GET EVERY CALL, MARTELLUS. GET A MENTAL REP EVERY SINGLE TIME. GO THROUGH YOUR ASSIGNMENT RIGHT NOW. HEY, YOU ASKED THAT THIS MORNING. WE EXPECT YOU TO KNOW THAT. BUCKLE YOUR CHIN STRAP AND READY TO GO. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. >> HE'S A PERFECTIONIST, SO, I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. >> MARTELLUS HAS A CHANCE TO BE A GOOD PLAYER. HE HAS ALL THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES. IT'S UP TO HIM THOUGH. HE'S GOT TO WORK AT IT. DOWNHILL, DOWNHILL. TURN AND GO! TURN AND GO! TURN AND GO! PLANT AND GO! PUT THE BALL IN YOUR OUTSIDE HAND, PLEASE. HIGH AND TIGHT. WE DO NOT FUMBLE. MAKING A POINT. TUCK IT AWAY RIGHT NOW. PUT IT IN YOUR LEFT HAND. ALL RIGHT, TUCK IT AWAY HIGH AND TIGHT. NO, ACROSS THE CHEST. ACROSS THE CHEST. THERE YOU GO, JUST LIKE THAT. >> JOHN GARRETT AND WITTEN BEING WITH HIM, I THINK REALLY HELPS HIM. >> GOOD JOB. >> WHEN YOU HAVE A YOUNGER GUY LIKE MARTELLUS, YOU REALLY JUST WANT THEM TO WATCH WITTEN DO IT. MARTELLUS, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS ON THE FIELD. YOU'RE GOING TO ARC YOUR RELEASE JUST LIKE WIT'S ARCING HIS RELEASE UP ON TOP. >> IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO IS THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL, IT'S JASON WITTEN. >> LOOK AT THE ENERGY THAT WITTEN HAS COMING OUT OF HIS STANCE. JUST HOW HE GOES ABOUT HIS BUSINESS. HE CONCENTRATES VERY HARD ON BLOCKING. >> SET, HUT! SECOND STEP, WITTEN! SECOND STEP! >> RUNNING ROUTES AND CATCHING THE BALL. HE WANTS TO MAKE HIMSELF A GREAT PLAYER. AND IT REFLECTS IN HIS PLAY. >> AND PERFECT. GREAT BODY LANGUAGE. I'M CONSTANTLY REMINDING MARTELLUS... GOOD, MIRROR THAT. ...WATCH 82. THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT, AND THAT'S THE RIGHT APPROACH. >> YOUR NAME, YOUR SCHOOL, YOUR SIGNING BONUS, AND SO ON. >> AND SPEAK LOUD. >> MARTELLUS BENNETT, TEXAS A&M. 1.26 GUARANTEED. >> WHOO! >> DANG! >> I NEED A SONG, CHURCH. >> UM... >> WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOU IN THE ICE TUB. >> I ENJOY TAKING LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH AND WATCHING THE SUNSET. [ BOOING ] [ CHEERING ] >> Narrator: IN CAMP, THE CALENDAR CHANGES, BUT THE GOAL DOESN'T. EVERY DAY, IT'S THE SAME -- GET TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP. SOMETHING A VISITOR TO CAMP HAS JUST ACCOMPLISHED. >> NOT ANYBODY CAN HAVE A GREAT CAREER, WIN A SUPER BOWL, AND JUST WALK AWAY. >> HEY, VERY LUCKY. LUCKY, MAN, LUCKY. >> I'M HOPING TO DO THAT. >> Narrator: IN FACT, ONLY TWO CURRENT COWBOYS HAVE SUPER BOWL RINGS. BRAD JOHNSON IS ONE. THE OTHER IS THIS GUY -- TODD LOWBER. >> HE WENT TO A SCHOOL IN NEW JERSEY CALLED RAMAPO. I WAS LIKE, "RAMA-WHO?" >> Narrator: RAMAPO COLLEGE ISN'T EXACTLY A FOOTBALL FACTORY, BUT IT'S NOT FAR FROM EAST RUTHERFORD, HOME OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS, WHO PUT THE SKINNY KID WITH SPEED ON THEIR PRACTICE SQUAD. >> IT WAS AMAZING, OBVIOUSLY, BEING ON THE GIANTS, WINNING A SUPER BOWL AND ALL THAT EXPERIENCE, BUT YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY, I CAN PROGRESS AND FINALLY MAKE A TEAM. AFTER THE GIANTS RELEASED ME, I WAS IN CANADA, BASICALLY STAYING IN SHAPE AND CATCHING BALLS, AND THE COWBOYS CALLED ME UP AND, YOU KNOW, SAID, "WE WANT YOU TO COME TO CAMP." >> Narrator: LOWBER HAS BEEN SIGNED TO FILL TERRY GLENN'S ROSTER SPOT. >> FOR HIM, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IT'S JUST HE'S BEHIND MENTALLY. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PLAYS THAT ARE GETTING CALLED WHERE HE'S KIND OF LOOKING AROUND LIKE, "WHAT WAS THAT?" >> WHAT I GOT? >> YOU'VE GOT AN IN AND THEN BACK OUT. >> WATCH THE GUYS IN FRONT OF YOU. I KNOW IT'S NEW FOR YOU. >> NO EXCUSES. >> BUT YOU GOT TO WATCH THE GUYS IN FRONT OF YOU. THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING -- YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE'S NO EXCUSES. DON'T START DOING IT YOUR WAY NOW, ALL RIGHT? 'CAUSE I'M TELLING YOU, YOU WON'T BE AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO KEEP DOING IT YOUR WAY. >> YO, RUN THE 4... >> Narrator: FOR LOWBER, THE LEARNING CURVE IS EVEN STEEPER BECAUSE HE HASN'T PLAYED THE GAME FOR VERY LONG. >> I PLAYED BASKETBALL. WE DIDN'T HAVE A FOOTBALL TEAM AT MY COLLEGE. AFTER I GRADUATED, MY TRAINER, HE PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH JIM GARRETT, JASON GARRETT'S FATHER. AND WHEN I MET HIM, HE SAW MY ABILITY, AND HE NURTURED IT. I NEVER HAD A FATHER. YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT ALL MY COACHES LIKE A FATHER FIGURE. BUT HE TAUGHT ME YOU CAN DO IT. YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IT. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S TO A POINT WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO LET A GUY LIKE THAT DOWN. WE WORKED OUT EVERY DAY, AND I WOULD JUST GET BETTER, POLISH IT UP TILL I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY AT A PRO DAY, IN ORDER TO SHOWCASE MYSELF. >> HE'S KIND OF ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES WHEN IT COMES TO THE ASPECTS OF BEING A RECEIVER. HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION, HE WANTS TO GET BETTER. HE'LL PULL ME TO THE SIDE AND GO, "OKAY, WELL, WHAT DID I DO WRONG?" BUT HE HAS SPEED. HE'S SO FAST. I MEAN, HE'S HAVING TROUBLE KIND OF BREAKING DOWN AND GETTING OUT OF THOSE ROUTES. LIKE THE ROAD RUNNER, YOU KNOW, AND JUST HAVING TO "CHURRRR"! YOU HIGH TRYING TO BREAK IT DOWN. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS. YOU'RE TAKING THOSE EXTRA STEPS. YOU GOT TO GET YOUR HEAD OVER YOUR TOES AND THEN COME OUT OF IT. >> IT'S HARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M NUMBER 80 ON THE ROSTER. STILL, I STILL HAVE A LOT OF AMBITION, AND I HAVE A LOT OF ABILITY. >> [ CLAPPING ] LET'S GO. >> Narrator: 80th MAN OR NOT, HE'S BEEN TO THE MOUNTAIN. THE SUPERSTARS HAVEN'T. >> SUPER BOWL! >> Narrator: BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. >> ON THREE -- ONE, TWO, THREE! >> All: SUPER BOWL. >> WHENEVER WE KIND OF EMBARK ON SOMETHING NEW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT EXPECTATIONS. EXPECTATIONS. OKAY, BUT LET'S START WITH THAT THING ON TOP. STUDY. STUDY. YOU CANNOT PLAY HERE, YOUNG PLAYERS, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THAT EVERYTHING'S OKAY AND ALLOW YOU TO BE MEDIOCRE. I'VE PLAYED FOR A LONG TIME. THE COACHES THAT DRIVE ME CRAZY TO THIS DAY ARE THE ONES THAT TOLD ME I WAS GOOD ALL THE TIME. "BOY, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB." AND I KNEW I WAS MEDIOCRE AS... AND THE GUY THAT WAS ON MY... AND MADE ME BE GOOD EVERY DAY IS THE GUY THAT I APPRECIATE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S OUR JOB. >> HEY, HEY! SIT DOWN RIGHT THERE! YOU'RE GOING TO GET KNOCKED OUT. >> WE'RE GOING TO PUSH YOU TO BE THE BEST PLAYER YOU CAN BE. >> GET TO THE HUDDLE! >> FOR YOUR OWN GOOD... >> GET GOING! GET GOING! >> AND TO HELP US WIN BALLGAMES. >> DON'T BE LOOKING AT THE BALL. WHEN HE COMES IN, GET ON HIM RIGHT NOW. >> HE STOPPED. >> I KNOW, THEN GO GET HIM. >> PLAY WITH A SWAGGER. WHAT'S A SWAGGER MEAN? ROMO'S GOT SWAGGER. >> THAT WAS LIKE STEALING RIGHT THERE. >> WITTEN'S GOT SWAGGER. >> ALL DAY, 5-7. >> OWENS HAS GOT SWAGGER. >> I JUST BEAT HIM LIKE A DRUM. >> PLAY WITH A SWAGGER. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? CONFIDENCE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, FIND THE DOOR, FIND THE DOOR.
