Watch Cowboys-Rams melee as Tre Mason, other state stars play rough

Coaches will never publicly back an on-field fight.

“You are very much welcome back”. “It just happened. Fortunately, nobody got hurt”.

For example, Romo was intercepted Monday by Rams defensive end Ethan Westbrooks on an errant screen pass to Joseph Randle after getting quick pressure. “I’d love to have the Rams back, absolutely”.

Team execs disagreed. The Cowboys (and Rams) are trying to avoid football injuries. “But we’re going to have to continue to emphasize that stuff is not what we want“. They’re still in St. Louis, but we’ll support them wherever they are. Bryant’s passion is unmatched, but did it cross the line against the Rams?

According to Pro Football Talk, this is the second year in a row that the Cowboys have gotten into a fight with players from another team during a joint practice. Earlier in camp Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was excited to see Bryant scrapping with a teammate, but he might not have been so happy to see his star receiver get popped in the face by Rams cornerback Imoan Claiborne. A team travels thousands of miles to practice against another team, and what do they get out of it?

Pretty ugly, huh? But wait, there is more.

The Cowboys have a three-year agreement with the City of Oxnard to hold their training camp practices in Southern California. Because they know there will be little fighting. The Washington Redskins and Houston Texans got in on the act already this offseason, captured in great detail by the cameras of HBO’s “Hard Knocks”, and the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams decided to join the fray on Tuesday. “We did. We handled it the right way”. This latest one was said to be a bit too close to the fans for comfort and it could end up spelling trouble for the league should it spill over into the spectators.

Ray Soto has been a Rams fan since 1960, and he made the drive from Bakersfield to Oxnard to attend practice with his son and grandson. “Well, I hate it”, Stephen Jones said. “First of all, the Rams are the team that most of us grew up rooting for”. Watching players defend their teammates, you can almost begin to believe that they care about the crest and the city as much as you do.

By moving only one team to a home for two, the NFL could still use the L.A. threat to try to squeeze other cities into building stadiums for their NFL teams. While he won’t guarantee anything, he said Inglewood is proceeding with the hope of beginning construction in 118 days. Before all was said and done, there were about four or five spinoff brawls. The grading of the land. “So we’re going to spend some time with them tomorrow”.

Now it’s a matter of the NFL giving the green light.
