He had to, considering how much of a storyline it was Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys and Saints quickly went from chippy to fighting on multiple occasions. Brief dustups soon evolved into team-wide skirmishes, including multiple punches thrown. Cowboys second-year linebacker Donovan Ezeiruaku was thrown out after officials saw him throw a punch, marking the second time that\u2019s happened during training camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were so many fights \u2014 at least a handful, in addition to multiple other skirmishes \u2014 that it was hard to keep track of every player involved and everything they might\u2019ve done. Cowboys cornerback Caelen Carson also threw a punch, as seen on a video captured by\u00a0The Dallas Morning News, but he stayed in the practice. It was preceded by a Saints player grabbing and not letting go of his facemask.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During one of the fights, Saints center Erik McCoy grabbed a Cowboys&#8217; helmet and chucked it high into the sky.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Schottenheimer confirmed he and Saints head coach\u00a0Kellen Moore \u2014 a former quarterback and coach for the Cowboys \u2014 met at one point and talked about ending practice early if the fighting pace continued. Ultimately, it never got to that point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>While Schottenheimer made it clear they won\u2019t tolerate the fighting, he also wanted to make something else clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to play on the edge and we\u2019re not going to take &#8230; s&#8212;\u00a0from anybody,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cBut at the same time, I don\u2019t think [the Saints] were the only ones stirring up the s&#8212;. I think we might\u2019ve been stirring it up as well. It was a sloppy practice all and all and it\u2019s got to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In theory, it was an opportunity that wasn\u2019t fully take advantage of for the Cowboys. The Cowboys likely won\u2019t play starters in either of the next two preseason games. It marked a final prerequisite before the starters play against the New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>And sure, there were moments where both the offense and defense played well. Safeties Jalen Thompson and Reddy Steward both had interceptions. The pass rush and run defense played well and physically. On offense, wide receivers George Pickens and Jonathan Mingo both had long touchdowns. There were also teaching moments, including how they played against Saints wide receiver Chris Olave, who had a bunch of catches against a Cowboys defense that\u2019s been stout so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/article\/cowboys-saints-joint-practice-highlights-22393150.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cowboys camp observations: Joint practice with Saints very chippy, filled with fights<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>There was enough fodder for film review. Initially, however, the takeaway was about the fights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody wants this,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cWe want to get the work in. I thought it settled down and it was very chippy early on, but it was unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur football team needs this work, and overall, I was disappointed in the work today because I didn\u2019t think we got enough good work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was one positive the Cowboys found amid the fighting, however. Some of the early dustups happened when offensive linemen or tight ends came in to protect a ball carrier who was taken to the ground. All of the skirmishes included nearly the entire team for a reason. As Schottenheimer said, if something was stirred up on either side, none of the players sat back and watched.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about brotherhood all the time on our team,\u201d Thompson said, \u201cand if we see a guy in a scuffle or anything like that, our job is to go over there and try and help it out and try to break it up as best as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>Thompson had a good example. During a fight that started with a Saints receiver holding Carson\u2019s facemask, Thompson and the rest of his teammates sprinted over. Later in the scuffle, Thompson was taken down with a wrestling-style move by Saints receiver Brock Rechsteiner, who happens to be the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because of the fights, the joint practice with the Saints was a lot more intense than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/article\/cowboys-camp-observations-rams-joint-practice-22383153.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the one the Cowboys had with the Rams last week<\/a>. There were no fights on that day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like at the end of training camps that\u2019s usually how it goes,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of chippiness and a lot of guys running to the ball and hitting. We\u2019re ready to play now. We\u2019re ready to get it started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Schottenheimer hopes they can stop talking about Fight Club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ronnie Bell (11) is pulled down in a scrum with Dallas Cowboys players as they tussle during a training camp practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2026, in Oxnard, Calif.\" loading=\"eager\"   style=\"aspect-ratio:3 \/ 2\" class=\"x100 y100 opc bgpc ofcv bgscv block bg-black mnh0px fill\"\/><\/p>\n<p>New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ronnie Bell (11) is pulled down in a scrum with Dallas Cowboys players as they tussle during a training camp practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2026, in Oxnard, Calif.<\/p>\n<p>Smiley N.
