IRVING, Texas – To say Hardy seems ready to go would be an understatement. Full of energy, wit, personality and enthusiasm, the defensive end got straight to the point with his first question, which centered on the difficulty of being out for so long.

“It’s hard to get sacks when you’re not on the football field,” Hardy said Tuesday in the Cowboys’ locker room at Valley Ranch. “That’s my main purpose in football, to get back there and get sacks and make a difference on the team. And I wasn’t able to do that. It was a process mentally for myself.”

When asked how long Hardy expects it to take for him to return to his Pro Bowl self, the pass-rusher was quick to respond.

“I hope not long. I hope I come out guns blazin’. I’m full of excitement and full of juice,” Hardy said. “I’m ready to go. I have what they call fresh legs. I’m really excited to get out there on that grass or turf and see what they can do.”

All things consider, I hate myself for wanting to like this guy; but the way he deftly handled the media and deflected personal questions was brilliant. I really can't wait to see what these reinforcements can do for the Cowboys defense.

The defense should be better, but brady is good at getting rid of the ball in 2-3 seconds, so hard to get to him before the throw.

The nearest brick wall is in trouble because I'm ready to run thru it.

This news that Gregory might be ready to go has me equally excited. If we have Lee, Gregory, Hardy and McLain available this week, it might not be the best team the Patriots have faced this year, but it will be the best defense.

If Brady is throwing in 2 - 3 seconds. Cover the short routes well then.

Patriots play Brady in shot gun and will chip players at guys putting pressure on him. They run pick plays to get their WRs open.

The CBs got to be aggressive and stick to their men and win the battle at the line. That will help delay the routes.

Hardy shows why those that claim if you are paid during a suspension then it really is not punishment are very wrong. Those that love to play are punished.

This! Playing soft zone will have us playing chase the rooster all afternoon. With two safeties up top our DBs need to be jumping those short routes more often. It'll give Brady hell and force him to wait that extra second or two.

Not to mention, we have enforcers at the safety position. Intermediate crossing route, Edelman? Meet J.J. Wilcox!
