I think Dallas is going to the super bowl.. But do not count out the Vikings this year. I think they going to win their division. These 2 teams will be in the play offs.

I dunno about that. I'm a Cowboy fan but the way the Giants ended the season has to make me think they are the favorites in the NFC.

Then again, losing Strahan was a big blow so maybe not.

the vikings are still going to be a mediocre team at best..they have a ground game...but no air attack. Look at the QB...just another proven failure. They should have traded up to draft brohm, but than again, childress isn't that smart

Looks like Terry Glenn is going to be gone. He refuses to sign a waiver on his knee.

Who will be the Cowboys' starting WR opposite TO? Right now you'd have to say Patrick Crayton. Amendola's chances of making the team definitely went up today.

SAM HURDTerry stands to make 1.74 million this year and cowboys wanna protect themselves by having him sign a split contract of 500,000 thousand . Had he opted to have the season ending surgery last year we wouldn't be here wondering who #2.

Terry Glenn better sign the waiver.......look at it like this, if he isnt injured, he gets paid...

also remember, Jerry paid him a 3 million dollar roster bonus before the start of last yr and he made around 2 million in base salary......he made 5 million dollars for 4 plays.......

if he doesnt sign the waiver, he wont make any money b/c no team will sign his old brokedown ass......Terry, sign the damn waiver, play a little and possibly earn a ring...

True enough.

Wade Phillips actually made a good point yesterday, hard to believe I know. ;) He said Witten is actually the #2 option in the passing game and a darn good one at that.

Have to think Crayton will be the #2 WR, although Phillips has stated both Hurd and Austin have shown a lot of improvement since the end of last season. I've always like Hurd a lot, good hands/size and is dependable. Crayton has the speed and elusiveness but I was really disappointed in him in the Giants game, especially after all that trash talking. Austin has been basically a kick return specialist. Let's see if he is able to make himself a legit WR. He has the potential to be really good if his hands come around. Amendola could be another Wes Welker-clone.

I thought the Cowboys screwed up by not drafting a WR this year but things may turn out okay. Martellus Bennett could turn out to be a hell of a TE. He was the number 1 TE prospect coming out of high school and I don't think Dennis Franchione utilized that well at A&M. He could turn out to be a Kellen Winslow Jr but without all the attitude.

He ain't signing the waiver, which is stupid. He couldn't pass a physical two months ago and refuses to take one now. He won't get more than 500k from any other team since nobody thinks he is healthy. He might as roll the dice with the 'boys in hope that he makes it through the year and gets 1.7 mil.

I've lost a lot of respect for Glenn.

The Cowboys led by Wade Phillips is awesome - awesome for the rest of the NFC. No chance in hell they'll ever win anything.

Now, my hometown New Orleans Saints, that's another story! Look for them to go deep in the playoffs again this year. Deuce is recovering nicely from his knee injury, Reggie is settling in in his role(s). Drew Brees is still the best QB in the NFC. And Sean Payton is still the best coach.

But aside from all that, it's been the defense that has been their biggest weakness the past few years, and they've solidified that with the additions of Jonathan Vilma, Randall Gay, and a few others.

Losing in the playoffs the last two years has NO BARRING AT ALL on the future.


This team was 13-3 last yr....but they had holes, we upgraded and filled those holes...so, in actuality, we made a 13-3 football team better. Does that make any sense to anyone?:D

As for the kid from Montana State, thats Mike Jefferson. but you have Hurd, Austin and Stanback in front of him as might be Amendola. From what I understand, Stanback is the fastest out of the group for our deep threat and Amendola is somewhat like Was Walker from the Cheat-triots. With Glenn gone that puts Crayton at the number 2 spot and even that might not be set in stone.

I forgot about Stanback. He's good on special teams too so I definitely see him getting a spot. Sounds like Amendola will not be another Welker so I don't see him getting a spot. I thought Jefferson was a rookie. I didn't realize he was on the practice squad last year. I don't see him making the cut though since Phillips said Austin and Hurd are stepping it up.

TO, Crayton, Austin, Hurd and Stanback is a pretty solid group of WRs.

I was talking to a co-worker today about our WR situation. It was then that I remember about Martellus Bennett and Felix Jones. Bennett was the top TE recruit in the nation coming out of High School. He was underutilized at Texas A&M. Witten and Bennett could easily end up the best 1-2 TE combo in the NFL this season. Likewise, Jones started a few games at WR so he can line up at WR if need be. Both are looking really good in camp.

Although it would be nice for Glenn to stop playing games, we definitely have passing targets for Garrett to work with. The rumor is that he will become the Head Coach next season on account that he has become such a hot commodity. We shall see.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - He keeps his head down all the way, but slow, loping strides lead Cowboys rookie tight end Martellus Bennett to the team's bus. He hardly looks up in the 50 yards to the charter, but if he does, he smiles.
Few topics this 2008 training camp have drawn as much attention as Bennett's body language. It started with two sentences written by "Sports Illustrated" scribe Peter King, who said the 21-year-old appears to sulk. By the closing credits in episode two of HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys," all minds had been made up - these universal opinions based on two sentences and maybe five minutes of nationally-broadcast video.
He doesn't care about football. He's not listening to the coaches. He's immature, and a waste of 6-6, 265-pounds of raw, born-to-play tight end talent. He's a throw away second-round pick, they say.
His body language and eye contact is to blame for all of it. When he walks, his head is down, always, and he's never too excited. This isn't new for Bennett.
"That just the way I walk, it's the way I carry myself," the Texas A&M product said. "Even in college I'd make a big play, I'd just get up and walk back. I just walk funny. People judge a book before they read it. A movie, they see the previews."
Maybe Bennett's not the most graceful person on foot, but he has a point. Fans and media members may have rushed to judge based on a tiny dose of information, and even less first-hand knowledge. As HBO Sports President Ross Greenberg said in his visit to the Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, Calif. last week, for every hour of film "Hard Knocks" airs, some 300-400 hours are left on the cutting room floor.
So it's entirely possible the big tight end really isn't tuning out his position coach, John Garrett, as the footage makes it seem. Maybe Bennett actually does like football, and wants to succeed. That's what he did in college, after all, where he caught 105 balls for 1,246 yards and 10 touchdowns in just three years and 23 starts in College Station. His 29 consecutive games with at least one catch is a Texas A&M record. So it's hard to say Bennett is a hot and cold player, who might try to play well one day and give no effort the next.
The effort is there, but the jump to the NFL for an underclassman can be hard.
"Some days you have bad days," Bennett said. "When you're in a two-a-day football camp you're not going to have a great day, every day. Usually I always have to push myself, (but) they've got somebody else to push me along."
That somebody is Garrett, who, according to the first two showings of "Hard Knocks," appears to be in Bennett's ear constantly, and for good reason.
"He's got excellent size," Garrett said, ready to go through the litany of physical attributes the rookie possesses. "He's got excellent strength. He can run. He's got long arms. He's powerful. So you put all those things together and there's a lot of raw talent there. It just needs to be honed in.
"He realized that he has to do certain things this way, or he's not going to be able to be successful on the field."
But Garrett's assessment of the big man's attitude is contradictory to what has been shown on HBO. Bennett's been seen rolling his eyes or laughing after Garrett has given instructions. He's been depicted as slow to follow instructions, as a slow learner. The nature of his relationship with Garrett can appear to be one of force and defiance. That's made-for-TV stuff, according to Bennett.
"Me and Coach Garrett have a great relationship," Bennett said. "I'm kind of like his son on the field. He's always on me, always pushing me to get better every second. It could be a little thing. He always knows what I could do better. It could be my shirt being too long, it's anything. (The coaches) are always on me.
"That's how my coach was when I first got to college. It's kind of like trying to build a relationship, so once we get a feel for each other, we'll have a great relationship."
Another Cowboy rookie who was the victim of the "Hard Knocks" producers was running back Keon Lattimore. In the first episode Lattimore was made out to be hopeless. He couldn't catch, he wasn't getting anywhere on his runs, he couldn't even walk up the stairs without falling over his own feet.
But the "Hard Knocks" narrator failed to mention Lattimore slipped on the stairs because of a body spasm - a side effect of the hard work he's put in during camp. Lattimore understands how Bennett must feel.
"I had a lot of the "Hard Knocks" people come to me and say, 'If you see the show, just pay it no never mind,'" Lattimore said. "That's what they're trying to get across with the young rookies. They want to show you going through a tough time. They show you progressing, the hard work you put in and the progress you make from the beginning to the end of camp."
To his credit, Bennett seems to understand the pre-packaged, fictional side of un-scripted television, saying "I'm not tripping. It's a reality show . . . it's like a movie." Garrett points out that while the viewer can be led to believe something based on a few minutes of strung-together clips from on the field, fair or unfair, there's a lot going on behind closed doors that the HBO cameras don't capture. He said Bennett takes notes in meetings and rarely makes the same mistake twice.
One thing the television cameras didn't exaggerate, though, is the tough time Bennett had in his preseason debut against San Diego. On consecutive plays he dropped a ball after taking a big hit, then let Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips slip by nearly untouched for an easy sack on Brad Johnson. Bennett said he was jittery that first game. When he went back to watch the film he didn't recognize himself, and told Garrett it was the last time the coach would see him play so poorly.
"His first game was a great learning experience for him," Garrett said. "He learned that the speed of a preseason game is much different than practice. There are things that came out of the game that he needed to work on, and we made that very clear to him.
"He's made a concerted effort to work on the things that he needs to improve."
Bennett said the disappointment from the San Diego game triggered a turnaround in his game. And since the team got to Denver on Tuesday, he's regained the confidence he might have lost in the early going of camp. That's impressive to Garrett, since the Broncos run a different style of defense from the Cowboys and Chargers - it's not what the rookie is used to seeing. Still, the improvement is evident.
"I've got my swagger back," Bennett said. "The last five practices have been my best practices of the whole camp. I've had a really good week. I feel really confident in the offense and the way I've been playing."
Bennett certainly won't unseat starter Jason Witten, but he's also three years behind Witten's NFL-experienced backup Tony Curtis, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said near the beginning of camp. Jason Garrett said training camp is about seeing what young guys can handle, and after a few weeks of work, John Garrett envisions a nice role for the rookie.
"I don't see it as a redshirt year," John Garrett said. "Both of them are going to play, and it's our job as coaches to see what they do best and insert them into the offense - run game, pass game, pass protection-wise - where they can help us the fastest. I see both of them playing a lot."
The Cowboys wouldn't have drafted Bennett so high if they didn't have a plan for him. He can expedite the plan by accepting coaching, which he seems to be doing more than one would be led to believe. As Garrett says, the guys listens. But it's hard to tell what a player is absorbing just by judging their body language.
And you can't tell how fast someone learns by looking at how slowly they walk.
"That's how people are," Bennett said, laughing off the idea people think they know everything about him based solely on his stride. "For all they know, I could have scoliosis or something."

penalties are killing us. Last week we had 7 for 96 yards and this week we had 9 for 76 yards. The good thing is... its preseason!

Looks like the 'boys are goin' roll the dice on Austin, Hurd and Stanback. Not sure about Stanback, but I really like Austin and Hurd.

Guess Felix Jones will have to pick up a lot of the flack.
