PACMAN ARRIVES WITH PLANS TO ESTABLISH A “NEW ERA OF PRIME TIME" FOR COWBOYS FANS Cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones plans to usher in a new era of Prime Time in Cowboys football. Sporting a #21 uniform in tribute to his new mentor Deion Sanders, Pacman made a splash at Valley Ranch by intercepting passes during each of his first two offseason practices with his new Cowboys teammates. Pacman, following NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to partially lift a league-imposed suspension, is now able to workout at Valley Ranch, attend team meetings as well as minicamps and training camp. Pacman took time to answer questions about his past and future following his first session of Organized Team Activities, 
Pacman: "I feel real good to get around my new teammates and start working on what we've got to do toward the future which is winning and learning the defense. It feels good to get back on the field. I'd been waiting on this day for a whole year (after being suspended last off-season). I'm just happy to be part of this team and I'm happy to be back on the field."
Q: What's the most important lesson you've learned since you were suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in April 2007 for conduct detrimental to the league? Pacman: "Picking and choosing my places, my friends. Knowing what to do and when to do it, what not to do. Out of everything I've been through, that's the past and let's talk about the future. But I have learned a great deal from my past." Q: Why did you choose to wear Deion Sanders’ former uniform number and what was that conversation like with him regarding your decision to go with #21?
Pacman: "I really just told him, 'Prime, I know there's never going to be another you, but I really feel that I could be the new era of Prime Time'. So that's what that is all about. There will never be another Prime Time, but in this day and era, I think I have a good chance of being the next Prime Time." Q: Head coach Wade Phillips and other members of the coaching staff have talked about your great instincts at the cornerback position. How quickly does that innate ability return following a year-plus layoff from football? Pacman: "I wouldn't say it went away, but I got a lot more to do like acting like I'm breaking on an out (route) or breaking on something. When you take it off the field and take it home in practice, it's hard to lose. But you can get back a step. I'm just trying to get back to where I was." Q: How did it feel to get an interception in each of the first couple of days of your return to the practice field during OTAs (Organized Team Activities) the first week of June? Pacman: "Oh, it felt good. I'm just out here to compete. I'm here to compete and be a good teammate and help this team win." Q: What kind of off-field program did the team prescribe for you? Are there certain guidelines imposed by the team or the NFL commissioner which you are required to follow in order to be fully reinstated on September 1st? Pacman: "I ain't going to get into my personal life, but I know what it takes for me to do what I need to do. I have no doubts about what I need to do. But it's all up to the commissioner. Q: Which of your new teammates were among the first to welcome you to the Cowboys family? Pacman: Jason (Witten) and all of them have been willing to take me in. This team has a lot of veterans, so it's not like when I was in Tennessee and we had a lot of rookies and a lot of younger players. I'm like one of the youngest guys here in this locker room (in Dallas). I'll just look at the veterans and take what they have to give me, and not take it as criticism and learn from it.
