Training camp fights are nothing new, but twice in one week at Cowboys camp is just a little excessive. Jason Garrett is all about increasing the competition at every position, but it’s going too far when a star like Travis Frederick is involved in a skirmish with Antwaun Woods.
#Cowboys FIGHT:
Travis Frederick and Antwaun Woods tangle and weβve got some fisticuffs.

The last fight, which occurred in late July, was between Taco Charlton and La’El Collins. Fights happen in training camp quite often, as we mentioned, but when they’re constantly caught on camera it’s a bad look for the organization.
America’s team is always going to be under the microscope, so this is to be expected. It’s up to Garrett and Jerry Jones to speak to their players and limit the extra-curricular activities moving forward.

In this case, however, Frederick was the aggressor, getting in Woods’ face to talk smack. What Frederick didn’t expect was for the reserve lineman to respond in kind with a shove to the face.
Let’s hope these two were able to talk things out in the end.
