Well, the 2008 season may be over, but the sting still lingers for many Cowboys fans. However, starting on Monday there is promise of a new day—voluntary workouts begin.

Strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek said, "March doesn't look much different from December at Valley Ranch.  We've had anywhere from 15 and 30 people showing up and working out for the last 10, 11 weeks, which is a large number of players. Many of our guys live here and they've been in and out working. We've had the rehab guys in and we've had younger guys doing things for themselves."

The offseason workouts will consist of 56 different set workouts, each designed for specific players, positions, and age.

The program will last all the way until June, just before the start of training camp. The Cowboys are focused on more team activities while maintaining individual workouts.

This is certainly refreshing news to Cowboys fans, considering it feels as if there is still a negativity surrounding the Cowboys since the sudden release of Terrell Owens. Not to mention they just came off perhaps the most disappointing season in franchise history.

The Cowboys seem excited to put last season behind them and look focused coming into the upcoming season. It may only be March heading into April, but the season is slowly approaching, and this is where champions are made.
