you are hoping for way way way too much....and the only reason Gregory started and he was average at best, was because we had nobody else....it was called desperation......and just because Gregory did it, doesn't mean he can, given he has been away for 4 years...….not many make a comeback after 4 years. I can't think of a single player and the list is short for those who make it back after 2 years....I don't even count on Gregory being any good, given he has spent more time away from football than actually playing football

He put on a Cowboys jersey and instantly goes right back to the player he was years ago. Magic!

Who actually believes that?

He starts to work his posterior anterior body part off, just like every other Cowboys player on the roster...

The Cowboys have a better chance of having some success with Gregory than Smith. Gregory is younger and has only been away from the game for a year. He’s not nearly as far removed from the game as Smith who’s been out for almost 5 years. It’s not just age that can erode a player skills but being away from a sport for several years can also erode them. This virtual offseason isn’t helping Smith any. For him to have any chance he needs to get on a field in pads as soon as possible. That may not happen until July or August if it does happen.
