Cowboys work on terminology
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Some 50 players showed up on Tuesday
for a workout under new Dallas coach Chan Gailey for some vocabulary
lessons from the former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator.
"We worked on getting our terminology down," said
wide receiver Michael Irvin. "We need to have it down before
we get to training camp."
Coaches have their own slang terms for plays, positions and
the like.
The NFL draft is April 18-19 and the Cowboys will be selecting
from the eighth position. Their needs are many, including a rush
tight end, linebacking, and offensive linemen.
No reporters were allowed to view the brief workout.
"The coaching staff wants to get their new system down
in a relaxed situation without spectators around," said
Cowboys spokesman Doug Hood.
The Cowboys don't hold their first minicamp at Valley Ranch
until Friday, April 24. They will have a veterans minicamp on
May 5.
Training camp, which has been moved from Austin to Wichita
Falls, begins sometime in mid-July.
