D-Ware! He’s had a great career so far and I can only expect that he’ll continue to improve on what he has already done. He has uncommon quickness and is getting stronger every year IMO.

DeMarcus Ware

Here is a great compilation clip I came across, figured it might be worth a watch and it was!

I must have a million Keith Davis shots! He and a few others stayed after this particular practice to sign autographs.

Would you look@ those guns! I mean I’m 40 yards away and you can still see the definition in his tri-ceps! Jason Witten is a phenomenal football player and obviously a tremendous athlete.

And of course the signature moment of his season last year was when he made a catch, took a huge hit, lost his helmet, and then kept running!! I bet he made lots of new fans that day, football fans!

A ball that the WR had no chance of ever catching as it was thrown 5 yards out of bounds. Look at the defenders though (on the sidelines) they’re ready :p

Check out the photographer on the other side of the field, now THAT is a lens!! Clearly I should have befriended him, maybe he could get me into the VIP loop!!

Didn’t I tell you I had a hard time getting the ball to actually be on top of his foot. Before & after again!

The rehab crew:Greg Ellis (1st from left) & Isaiah Stanback (4th from left) being most notable here.

This was one of the shots with the 3X tele converter that came out great. As you can imagine though it was tough to manually focus when they were moving that fast.

Jason Witten! Funny thing was, we sat right next to his wife & kids. I say right, she was in the next section, no more than 10′ away from where we were sitting. I had a hunch it was his wife, I should have said something but didn’t She probably didn’t want to be engaged anyway with gaga fans!

This is a prime example why I want to be able to have VIP access at some point in the future…so the players and coaches don’t get in my way! I mean hello, I’m trying to pictures here!!

I liked this photo for the hand slap up side the head, which I’m sure happens all the time down in the ntrenches and who knows if seen in a game that might be a penalty!

Kick returns, something I hope continues to improve. On paper the Cowboys upgraded this year with Felix Jones and Adam Jones (if reinstated).

What sets these next pictures apart, aside from the first one, is that they were taken on the field from the end zone.

I had seen on the http://www.dallascowboys.com/ website prior to going down to San Antonio, that if you joined their True Blue fanclub, you were given special seating at training camp and an opportunity to be taken onto the field for a 15 or so minutes segment fo the practice. Money WELL sent in my opinion.

My friend and I arrived early enough to get a good spot in line, and when we finally got seated we were in row 2! What’s more, we were in the first group to be taken down onto the field and when we were there, ALL of the action was coming towards us. The groupings after us were not nearly as fortunate since all of the action was a good 50-75 yards away from that end zone.

We (luckily) got some good action coming towards us though as the wide receivers were coming in our direction. We were maybe 30-35 yards away from the WR drills if that.

Strip drill, Keith Davis trying to take the ball away from Pat Watkins.

A continuation of Sam, making the catch with ample separation from Quincy Butler.

Tony Romo and his trademark smile.

Tony going throwing the ball (not pictured). They were throwing from the end zone so he was < 10 yards from us when I took this.
