Pardon the interruption, but for what little my opinion is worth, I think the Cowboys may be schematically improved on defense in both the improvement in speed and the potential for an increase in interceptions...a significant and noteworthy increase...or that could be wishful thinking...
Either way, they just have to weather a few games before the calvary arrives. You have to hope that the guys coming back are stronger down the stretch as a result and their absence doesn't damn their playoff hopes. Because once this team is full strength, they absolutely have an improved rotation of talent and pedigree.
