The Dallas Cowboys' offense has showcased some much-needed creativity throughout the start of training camp in Oxnard, California, under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Unlike when Mike McCarthy was calling the plays, Schottenheimer has injected some excitement with new formations and plenty of pre-snap action.

With the new wrinkles to the offense, All-Pro return specialist KaVontae Turpin has become more involved. This week, the Cowboys showed off one of the new formations that Schottenheimer previously teased, with the Pistol being incorporated.

Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News shared a video from practice that previewed the formation as Turpin motioned into the backfield behind Dak Prescott and fullback Hunter Luepke, who delivered a perfect lead block.

Getting Turpin involved in the offense is a win-win and brings the speed that will make Dallas difficult to defend -- especially with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the outside.

Add in rookie running back Jaydon Blue, and the Cowboys offense could be running a track meet every Sunday afternoon.
