There seems to be some odd trends that make me wonder if the cowboys are still in the rebuilding phase, not quite were they want to be and arent sweating things to badly.

We draft almost all defense, and playing the rookies ahead of veterans to get them experience (for next year?) odd but understandable.

Look at positions we could of drafted but did not, WR, QB, OL,(except late round picks) very little offense help.

Brought in FA, Bledsoe, Ferguson, Rivera. kinda shows me GLover and Ellis will be cap casualties next year (due to rookies stepping up taking charge) Bledsoe has a few years left and we could draft a QB for him to groom! (Hint Henson will be gone)

Bills see's this year as a solid building foundation with his player's in place. If we go 8-8 thats Ok, as long as the team builds it cohesion and get smarter. There will be bumps in the road, he will chew there A**'s, but they are in the learning phase. I think he likes what he sees just understands we are a year or two away. I.E the Bengals. Rebuilding has to be done right and Face it the COWBOYS were in terrible shape just like the Bengals. We are on the right path we just cant expect to be 10-6 because of solid draft,

Listen to his press conference carefully, he understand the rookies are going to make mistakes and he is willing to live with it this year,
he has a plan???

I HOPE? :bow:

the problem here is it takes 3+ years to dig ourselves out of the hole of the past decade.... so yes we are "rebuilding".

Haven't we been rebuilding since 1996?

How long is this building taking???

Once you settle on a blue print of what your building, from 96 to today how many coaches have we had?

actually the pre parcells years were more like destroying the building. Parcells has to rebuild from that horrible experience of cap troubles and a bunch of worthless draft picks.

They had to start over because the previous crew did a sucky job and were way over budget.

exactly bigdog, we're building this team so that whoever starts at QB in the future beyond Bledsoe, will have good surrounding parts to help him, just like Ben has in Pittsburgh, but I think that QB will still eventually be Henson, he's being groomed, while we have Bledsoe here for 2, maybe 3, years to keep the ship afloat while the pieces on D, and some of the pieces on O develop into credible units, to rely upon once Henson gets his shot

I think the problem is Bill is still treating this team like a work in progress. Emphasizing the same things he did in 2003. I think we have all the pieces in place, we just need to have a different approach.

I don't think so either. I think Bill will get this team moving in the right direction before the bye.

Until our OL is rebuilt, I think we're in the rebuild mode. I have felt, for some time, as if our OL is poor. I still believe this.

FWIW "rebuilding" started only when Tuna arrived.

Yup. Prior to that it was patchwork. Duct tape and bailing wire.

You could be right about henson (summerisfunner) Its hard to get a feel of what Parcels think of him. He did set CHad Pennington down for a couple years if I remember right. I just don't have high expecatations for this year, This is his style team and he is doing it his way. SO we;ll just set back enjoy the game s and hope we kick some A** this year.
