I think Dallas' questions are on the O line, Flozell & Colombo are gettin up there, but the rest of the team is solid. I think their wr's are decent enough because Romo is good at buying time. Their D is talented, just prone to breakdowns & inconsistency.

NYG; they need a wr - espn insiders has a rumor that Holt is talking to them. Would be a good fit for them. Their D line just went from really good to potentially great. Losing Ward is nothing, they can get a mid round pick to replace him, he's just an avg. rb.

Philly's situation might have more drama than the cowpokers. I don't know about Runyan, but he's a fa too & they just lost thomas & Dawkins. Thomas' replacement, W. Justice got beat for 6 sacks v. Osi in 07. Is he their next LT? They always draft well but I don't know if they have the depth at some positions to continue to play like they did at the end of last year. They're still good, but it seems so hard to pick where they'll finish.

As for us, we are once again in the position of needing unproven low or undrafted guys to step in & step up, plus due to our low # of picks & lack of depth, we almost need all 4 picks to be starters or log serious minutes. This division is still tough & I don't think we can say we've improved enough yet to compete to win it.

While I agree that TO is a disraction in the locker room on the field he draws allot of attention and now D's can shift that attention to other areas. TO also did have over 1,000 yards and now Dallas has to try and fill that void which is easier said then done.
