J-C:bad injury news around the cowboys, what is going on he is out for the year and then it is two weeks 20 minutes later?
BL: I read the papers and sites, I saw glenn out for the year and 1 of my producers checked it and saw it said two weeks. As i understand it, they had new information available to them, the possibility exists he will be out for the year, maybe a year long injury.
JC:Some veteran wr out there, mccardell, caldwell......
BL: McCardell was with phillips in San diego, He has no speed whatsoever, could be plugged in a week and be ready to play, miles austin maybe can be ready, hurd the same. I have been screaming for five years for this team to draft a wr, don nelson agreed!! its great to go back and say we should have drafted a wr but we cant.
JC: gut instinct, do we see terry Glenn and how does this change the offense?
Bl:changes things drammatically, crayton is a third down, inside wr who is strong but does not belong outside has no speed, if i am the giants I double Owens, he struggles with that, play crayton one on one and leave a safety over the top and force them to beat you running. owens doesnt like to be pressed.
JC: new giants DC, the cowboys havent solved the eagles D yet? Will we see the xmas day scheme?
BL: that scheme, owens caught 5 balls, he was pressed all game and doesnt have the technique to beat the press and doesnt like a man in his nose every play, he had a difficult time with that and I will be shocked if the giants do to the same thing, press him with help over the top.
JC: Make your predicition.
Bl: I hate predictions, the nfl is a game of attrition, Tell me whos playing, each week, always depends on who is or is not playing, the giants were playing well last year and then they had a lot of injuries and struggled.....I can give you a predicition but it means nothing, If romo is healthy and no other key injuries and Dallas is a 9-7, 10-6 or 8-8. Not even to the first game and people are tossing out the season because newman and ellis and glenn are injured.
BL: Would you trade, giants lost 41% of their offense when barber retired, who would benefit more giants without strahan or the cowboys without ellis.
