He doesn't talk ATL-Falcons until towards the end.

Disclaimer: I'm not good at recapping and could go thru it again, but work is calling.

Some tidbits:
Said he really likes ATL. Thinks they have a good young core. Said that in talking with them, they don't necessarily think of Dallas as a measuring stick. Thinks they're a pretty confident group based on last year's success and they feel they can go even further this year.

IIRC, he mentioned that the D doesn't really stand out, but they get enough turnovers that keeps the score low.

Thinks that this is going to be a lot of scoring in this game...that both teams will be able to move the ball.

Talked about the Gonzalez comment when he said Witten was the best TE in the league. He agreed with Gonzalez. Said that at one time, Gonzalez was the best TE, but that right now Witten is the best TE.

That was a good listen. I like Troy and respect his opinion and knowledge of the game.

Pretty much right with this.

Watching the Falcons this year. I think if Romo is on and the running game is there, we can move the ball and gets some points. To me the key is, can we stop the Falcons. I think we can hold Turner down, but can our secondary stop Ryan and the passing game, as in White.

Falcons lost a starting CB, which is already thin. So will Garrett or CAN Garrett take advantage of that. I'm not sure he can at this point. He will have to prove it to me in his play calling. Of course, Romo and the players will need to execute those plays.
