Saints-Cowboys Joint Practice Breaks Up in Multiple Scuffles as Coaches Continue Session

Coaches said they will use the incidents to teach emotional control, review film, and sharpen execution.

Overview

  • The joint practice between the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys featured several fights that interrupted drills, with reporting putting the interruptions at roughly five or six.
  • Saints head coach Kellen Moore called the session “not the ideal flow” but said the teams still got the work they needed and found teachable moments.
  • Moore said he and Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke during the session and agreed to keep practicing rather than end the day early.
  • Both teams calmed down toward the end of the workout and ran extra red-zone work, and Moore said players will review tape to separate emotion from execution.
  • Coaches used the episode to evaluate temper and decision-making under contact, which could influence roster and practice approaches as the preseason continues.
