IRVING, Texas (May 2, 2003) -- Bill Parcells finally took the field as the Dallas Cowboys' coach, and he didn't take long to set a tone for how he plans to do things.
When one player wasn't paying attention, the entire offensive unit had to run across two football fields and touch a distant tree before returning to try the play again.
"That's the way I do things. It's nothing new," Parcells said. "The point of it is they need to pay attention. That was just for emphasis. There are a lot of reasons they can run to the fence. Get used to it, you will see quite a bit of that."
Missing from the helmets of the 19 rookies was the Cowboys' famed star logo, a decal Parcells said they will have to earn.
"It's the rookies, they're just numbers right now," Parcells said.
