Imagine if this were the case today: a professional football team with
championship aspirations running up 562 yards of offense (289 passing,
273 rushing) against a combination of three semi-pro teams during
training camp.
That is what the Cowboys did during training camp in July 1963. Fortunately, the Dallas players got a "real good workout" according to coach Tom Landry. Don Meredith completed 10 of 13 passes for 183 yards. The defensive standout was rookie defensive back Nat Whitmyer, who was later cut and the picked up by the Rams.Dallas won the scrimmage 44-3.
