Randall Cobb insisted that he did not know when his newest NFL team confronts what was his sole one.
“When is that, November?” Cobb requested, on ESPN Wisconsin each the Wisconsin State Journal through a Friday radio interview.
For the album, the Cowboys host the Packers on Oct. 6. While Cobb might not have marked his calendar, he clearly cares about where he came from.

“It is like the ex-girlfriend that awakened with you,” Cobb said. “When you see her five decades later, you hope you are in a better situation than you were earlier — married, with children, and you are able to say’Yeah, I’d better with no.'”
The 28-year-old Cobb didn’t just have a decision, noting the Packers not extended an offer that this offseason. He might still be sporting gold green. A fruitful eight-year streak in Green Bay ended quite unceremoniously as Cobb was plagued by injuries last season and thus posted near-career lows in several categories.
“I didn’t really have any conversation . I don’t know how much conversation there was between my agent and the Packers organization,” Cobb said. “But I know there was never an offer placed on the table — before or after the deal from Dallas along with a couple other teams. I think it made my decision easier. If the Packers could have made an offer, I’d obviously have had to consider this decision. But I am very excited and very pleased to be down in Dallas. I think it’s a great situation and I look forward to this year.”
The former Pro Bowler could fit in well as a secondary option because he did for so many years with the Packers. The Cowboys are hoping he’ll fortify a passing game which matches among the league’s best rushing attacks. Cobb said he has simply focused on setting himself within the Dallas locker room — an adventure that does not sound all that different from when he broke in with Green Bay at 2011.
“The transition’s been fantastic. Obviously, it was a little bizarre at first,” he explained. “When you are somewhere for eight years and then you go to a different group, you kind of feel like the new kid at college — only trying to find your way around and not knowing exactly what to expect. But it’s been great so far. I have enjoyed it. I am making strides with my new teammates, and I’m only hoping to find out the new offense and get ready for the season.
“When you go to some other team, obviously a lot of these guys know mepersonally, we played against each other. Nonetheless, it’s different. They wish to learn what sort of practice player you are. They want to know what kind of teammate you are going to be. And is it? Are you worried about yourself? Or are you going to try and make the guys around you better? The biggest factor for me in this entire process was just trying to earn the respect of my teammates and do whatever I can to better myself and improved those around me.”
The transition could be better for Cobb and the Cowboys with a Week 5 win against the Packers.
