There are some things you should keep in mind when going through the reports out of training camp for the Dallas Cowboys. First and foremost, this is not like a real game. Players are holding up to reduce the risk of injury, some plays happen only because of that, and there are certainly times when a first-team player is lined up against a guy fighting to make the bottom of the roster. It is also important to note that the reporters are mentioning the highlights and might not be as focused on negative moments. Add in the annual overoptimism that is rampant throughout the league, and there are plenty of reasons to stomp on the brakes before pre-ordering that championship memorabilia.
