First-year Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer says the players have no say in where their lockers are, and he and the staff made the changes.
“We moved some guys around,” Schottenheimer said. “This year, I did, along with the help of the staff. They don’t really get a say in that, but there’s a method to the madness. I think when the guys went into the team room for the first time, I made them all stand up after they sat down, I let them sit down and I had them stand up and move seats. Why? It’s a new year.

It’s something that’s talked about, thought about, but there’s a method to the madness at times.”
