No way, & I am huge Cowboys fan.
9/11 emotion alone in NYC will be hard to overcome, despite the fact the NYJ are a more talented & complete team than Dallas.
I fully agree!! No way would I bet Dallas in this spot no matter how much I would like them to win. :nono:
Thunder is correct on the O, but I think the opinion on the D is a little to critical this early on. You don't change D schemes and instantly get better. What Dallas really needs is a second pasha rusher or Spencer to show up. Throwing it out there...Osi would make a great fit if they could swing it....very doubtful to trade within division, but Osi & D Ware (best D player in football) have roots at Troy and are very good friends....love to see that happen..wishful thinking I know....
The new Ryan Scheme will bring lots of blitzes in lots of formations. This unit needs TIME to get this system down and are far from it. Once they do, I think they will be much better when they are reacting instead of thinking. They will force offenses to throw the ball quicker and their corners are physical enough to handle that.....at least Jenkins is. Jenkins regressed last year, but I think he will play much more like two seasons ago. This secondary will NOT play with their backs to the line of scrimmage and more bump and run....right up Jenkins ally.
Igor was a BUM and think their level of play up front will get better as season progresses...Ryan will have these guys ready each week and play with the fire/passion their coach coaches with...
Special teams will be just fine!! McCann , Holley and other young guys are making plays....Dez will be a great punt returner, McBriar is the best Punter in the league and they just need to make more fg's!
I think this team is definitely better than a 500 club.....I don't have super high expectations...but I do think they have a chance to have a solid season. They just need to get of to a decent start and take advantage of that soft spot in the middle of their schedule.. If they do, and have momentum on their side....stay healthy......you never know!! :shrug: :shrug: :0074 :0074
