Default Reasons I think we can go 11-5 this year.

This team made huge improvements this year. We had a great FA and draft. We improved on both O and also D. There is no doubt this team is alot better then last years team.

On O Drew Bledsoe is a big improvement over Vinny. Nice thing about Bledsoe is he will be a much better teacher for Henson to. Our D has depth on the DL and LB and the secondary is better.

I think we have a good chance at 11-5 for alota reasons.



1. We have the kind of O that can really run out the clock. JJ Barber and A-Train give us a very strong RB corp with great depth. If we are unlucky nuff to lose JJ I think Barber can come in and play very solid for us.

Dallas has to be in the top 5 in the NFL at TE. Witten and Campbell give us the kind of passin game where we can just use the pass to pound the ball kill the clock and wear down defenses.

Now dont all of you be to surprised to see Campbell get alot more catches this year then ever before. He is big and very strong.


Between our RBs and TEs we are really gonna play smash mouth football and wear down the Ds and keep their O off the field. I predict we could lead the league in drives of over 8 minutes.


On D we have depth on the OL. LB is better and the secondary is better. Keep a real close on this Sippio buy at FS. He has been makin some noise and shows some good stuff. He is also a big FS at 6'3" 215 lbs. Also now that BP will be the one who runs the D will help out alot to.


I think the improved D and havin the type of players who can run a kill the clock smash mouth type O we can have a season of 11-5.

Frankly I am more concerned about how we play in January than what our W/L record will be.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

I like your way of thinking on this topic. Hope we go into the playoffs on about an 8 game winning streak....

Definately more worried about January. Though I want us to be as good as the Eagles, I don't want to pick up where they left off..
