Jerry,
Yes, who knows what the future holds - we just know it is & always should be, or at least include Unknown Hinson.
We have some tough opponents with the Chiefs, improved Las Vegas Raiders, Saints, etc. plus I can't help but think we're going to lose at least one of our division games even though on paper we shouldn't at this point. I'm glad we have the Patriots this year rather than when Brady was there, especially since we never beat that duo. I think this new DC Dan Quinn is really a shot in the arm along with all the new defensive guys plus most of our offensive weapons are available with the offensive line almost back to normal now. Finally my only complaint about our QB Dak in the past was that even though, yes, I've seen him throw some great passes in the past, he never could shake his inconsistency as a passer - so he was often throwing behind or ahead of the receivers. Yes, all of them throw a bad pass sometimes, but I thought it was a recurring problem for him. But this year it looks to me that he's shed that deficiency. Maybe he needs to suffer another injury if that problem returns? I always have liked everything else about Dak, an obvious leader, determined, usually makes good decisions in the chaos, can run pretty well, good enough arm strength, etc.
Yes, Steele, that backup tackle from Tech (GO FIGURE!) looks a lot better than last year. So we've improved in a lot of ways, I think. I am of course loving our new number 1 draft pick Micah Parsons - he was the GUY I wanted before the draft, and I couldn't believe it when we got him. You hear people say a lot, "There will never be another one like.........". Well, I think maybe that was true of Lawrence Taylor, but even with that, Parsons is the next best thing in my mind. I remember the normally reticent Tom Landry's remarking publicly what a great player the Giants got when they drafted Taylor, as Joe Theismann found out later.......but Landry just didn't say or do things like that much, did he? However with LT.............
Yes, on my all-time Cowboy team, Cliff Harris is the starting free safety. My strong safety is Darren Woodson - he should be next in the Hall of Fame. What a reliable, naturally gifted athlete Woodson was - his head, unlike Dez Bryant's, was ALWAYS in the game. He could really cover people too.
And unlike my location when Barry Bonds hit number 756, I remember exactly where I was in that playoff game at the end against the Vikings in the 75 season with Staubach to Drew Pearson!
In conclusion, it is Jerryville (as in Jones, not May); therefore, quien sabe, senor? At least one thing is GUARANTEED - as with Joe King Carrasco, IT WILL BE INTERESTING!
