DALLAS COWBOYS 2007

Record 13-3 not too shabby! But ouch, the playoff loss to the Giants.

Oh well, a new year brings new enthusiasm and I thought I’d like to take one last look at the 13-3 team that I was fortunate enough to shoot one Saturday last July.

This year training camp got moved to CA thanks to the (idiot) schedulers @ the Alamodome. So sadly I will not be able to shoot the Cowboys this year. That’s ok, maybe during the time this year I can figure out how to land VIP access next year…thereby shooting from the field instead of the stands!

 

 

A friend and I recently had the opportunity to visit the Cowboys at the Alamodome for one of their Saturday morning practices. WOW, It was great! Sure, a lot of the action was too far away to get very many good pictures but the ones I got were pretty cool considering! Plus, we were in the 2nd row so we had a fairly clear shot of the field, coaches and players notwithstanding.

The practice lasted about 2 hours and since we are part of the TrueBlue fanclub we got to sit in a special section during the practice and even go onto the field for about 15 minutes.

Going onto the field was perfect timing, we really lucked out. During that time that we were there, the receivers were running deep patterns towards us. It afforded me a few choice opportunities to get some great shots of the receivers and CB’s going one on one.

During the 2nd portion of our time in the end zone we got to see the QB’s doing 5 step drops. We were all of maybe 10 yards from Tony Romo and Brad Johnson.

Here are a few from the first portion of team drills.

Secondary pass drills, not sure who the players are here.

Roy Williams and Keith Davis. Keith having signed with Miami in the off season (who will be missed on special teams), and Roy entering a make or break year. Hey, if Roy plays well, he finally might earn his way to the Pro-Bowl and not just get there on name recognition like the last 2 years!

Even if they are not going full speed, this still look like it would hurt!

Not sure if this is Austin again, making a break on the ball; Terence Newman and Aaron Glen looking on.
