Williams is aware of it though and we'll have a better idea where we're at after next week's game. The giants d does suck but they can throw the ball. Hopefully we shut them down.

All of that said, I think you have to apply alot of your post to your own team. Cowboys defense is nowhere what it needs to be for you to be considered the div champ just yet. That offense on the other hand...

Well said. But two of our top defenders are out (Newman and Ellis) so far (knock on wood) the offense has been able to make up for that. BUt Newman will be back either this week or next and Ellis is working out with the team again, so he will be back soon too.

That just means they will be healthy and fresh at midseason ready for the second half stretch. The defense will be much better week after week. Of this I am confident.

Also, don't know if you have heard, Tank Johnson is in Dallas this week for a physical and will probably be signed this week. He will be eligible to play week 9, another component in place that will start fresh and healthy for the second half of the season.
