I will say this, this is exactly if the Cowboys stay in the race until after our bye week, leads us to this theory;
First, Glenn should be back after the bye week, they said 4-6 weeks, but you got to remember Terry Glenn said he was or felt he was rushed back too soon, it was about 4 weeks, then he reinjured himself, so i say he will come back after the bye week;
Next, that is about the same time that I expect Greg Ellis to be back, i cant remember the guys name but he is a DE best i remember for the carolina panthers, he had same injury as ellis, he started playing exactly a year after the injury; so give ellis that time frame,
Next, If tank johnson doesnt get the 6 game suspension but the nfl commissioner keeps the 8 game suspension, then Tank Johnson should be back after the bye week, or the game after that.
That will give us 3 key players after the bye week, Terry Glenn, Greg Elllis & Tank Johnson, that should give us the big push, motivation for the whole team to see to energize the Cowboys. Then, that will give us the big push going into November and December, something that the Cowboys have lacked the last 5-6 years going into December.
Do you remember a few years ago, when Julius Jones got hurt, and came back after 5 -6 games after his injury, he had a quickness to him, which in turn gave the team a spark. I am thinking that, if the Dallas Cowboys stay in the race until after the bye week, then those 3 players can give us that push into the playoffs, and energize the other team players.
So, lets look at the schedule remaining until that time;
This week Bears, granted we were suppose to lose, so either way, as long as the Cowboys stay with the bears and make a game of it, I will be happy;sure i want them to win, but you cant have everything.
Then next games are;
9/23 @ Chicago I think we can win, but will be close,
9/30 ST LOUIS We should win, due to what they did to us last year;
10/8 @ Buffalo we should win this game, buffalo is beat up
10/14 NEW ENGLAND I think this maybe preview for SuperBowl, so i dont want to show them too much;
10/21 MINNESOTA Minny has a terrible QB, we should win, but tough game, due to minnys tough defense and their young rb;
11/4 @ Philadelphia either phily will bounce back or they go in the tank;
11/11 @ NY Giants I think the Giants are fixing to fall apart; we should win;
This should leave us at 7-2 or so, by time we play the giants and beat them in NewYork, with Terry Glenns help, tank johnson and greg ellis back I think we can beat the giants in newyork then make that push into the playoffs.
just my thoughts;
