[quote=sandtrapjack;344533]Ellis: Still recovering, I think he is done as a Cowboy
Burnett: Bone Spurs removed, will be back in time for the opener
Newman: Planter Faciates, held out of preseason, will be ready for the opener. Yes I am concerned about this one, only Aaron Glenn and a list of "hopefuls" for depth. Which ain't sayin much!

WR Glenn: returned to practice this week, will play in opener. Had his knee scoped a week before camp started (negative).

Gramattica: Pulled hammy in warm-up at Texans game, being held out of final pre-sason game. But Folk(R) has not missed a FG or XP during practice, camp or preseason and could really challenge for the job. Grammatica has missed 2 FG's and an XP in preseason action.

So there is your update on your rival team.[/quote]

I watched the replay of the Texans/Cowboys game on NFL Network. Your 1st team defense looked like crap!

Believe me their defense will show up in two weeks.

I've been following the Ellis injury, he has doubts whether he can play again.

I had no idea about Gramattica - this could be real big

Also, Tony Romo has been diagnosed with a rare condition which causes him to sweat butter instead of normal human sweat. In high pressure situations, his palms sweat like anyone else's, but the butter-like composition of his sweat makes normal actions more difficult. His condition will be monitored throughout the season.

The Dallas D looks pretty scary. I see a good bit of max protection against them.

A lot of people are saying this, but what makes them different from last year?

They were tough last year, they just fell apart (as did the whole team) at the end of the season, just like all of Parcells' years there.

They are a year older w/a lot of youth, guys like Canty, Spears, Carpenter, Ware & James are entering the stage of their career where they should step up & they'll be playing for new contracts before long.
IF this Spencer kid can come in & give them a pass rush on the other side, they could be really dangerous. Ware is already a beast.

Also, Phillips is less cautious in blitzes than Parcells and they added Hamlin at safety who could be a big help. I bet in their opening game vs. the g-men, Eli is gonna hit the turf quite a bit.

I think they will be a handful for us, but if we can get JC time, we can still beat them deep.

Re: cowboys hurting
 

There defense IMO will be probably be just as good if not a little better. As for their offense I hope they play Marion Barber for my fantasy team's sake, but I think we are going to see a more conserved Tony Romo, they could be one of the best in the NFC, I say we watch out.

I haven't seen the 'Chips since the preseason opener against Indy, but believe me, their front seven was in the quarterback's face all night. From the moment the ball was snapped, it seemed like at least 2 D-linemen were already three yards or so past the line of scrimmage.

They've got crazy speed up front.

Isn't that what happened to Marcus Washington? Why is he coming back for week 1?? Just tougher I guess

Will Demps wasn't going to start for the Giants this year anyways, they have James Butler back there now.

Re: cowboys hurting
 

I know Greg Ellis is worried his achilles problems could end his career, Glenn is not healthy and probably won't be ready for the season opener, and Newman suffering from plantar fasciates is significant. My mom has what her podiatrist called a "moderate" case of it, and you should see how badly she limps. It's basically swelling and tenderness in the muscle/tissue/ligaments that connect the heel with the ball of your foot. It's very painful apparently. That's bad news for a guy who relies on speed and quick feet. Oh yeah, and their QB coach is on performance enhancers and just got handed a 5 game suspension!! LOL!!!
