The Cowboys open up training camp with their first official practice today despite reporting to training camp Thursday. The quarterback owned a 68.6 completion percentage in 2015 and threw for 884 yards with more interceptions (7) than touchdowns (5).

The Cowboys will have a “next-man-up” approach to their defensive scheme, and that’s a great thing with some of the young guys they’ve now got on that defensive depth chart.
Owner Jerry Jones, COO Stephen Jones, and head coach Jason Garrett held their annual state of the team press conference in Oxnard, CA Friday morning, and they did not hold back when it came to some of the problems the team is now dealing with. Oakland Raiders defensive end Kahlil Mack (No. 13), quarterback Derek Carr (No. 15) and wide receiver Amari Cooper (No. 16) appear in the top 20 of the list, a first for the franchise’s players. If Elliott can give this offense what DeMarco Murray provided in 2014, I can see Romo playing all 16 games. “Dez was good on that route”. Surprised that it had set in, again so easily, I began to peruse the schedule in hopes of finding relief in early mismatches.
It was the first time Romo and Bryant were in pads together since Thanksgiving of previous year.
Starting all 16 games last season, Crawford registered 35 tackles and five sacks.
Romo suffered a re-break of the collarbone in the Thanksgiving loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Of the Cowboys’ 969 offensive snaps previous year, Romo and Bryant were on the field together for just 123 of them.
As for the answer the media got, lets just say Cowboy fans better hope number 9 stays upright. “It’s the first day of pads, actual real football. Why we’re doing what we’re doing at the pace we’re doing it”. “We’ve got four that are going to get snaps”.
“We do know that people are human beings”.
“He’s done more this offseason than he has in about 3 or 4 years. Like anybody, it takes a few days”.
The Cowboys have time. As a result, it leaves them with less time to teach their players how to get better.
Overall, Romo said he feels good.

Naturally, the Twitterverse went wild with countless harsh reactions and memes, poking fun at Romo for his weight.
