Disclaimer: In the past 48 hours, I have read just about every article that is Dallas Cowboys related, so some of the following are my own observations and some are observations I agree with. Below is a excerpt from my response on the thread "Is this the secret sauce?"

In my opinion, I don't think Stephen was referring to anything in particular. I honestly believe he is seeing what I think most all of us are seeing. 1. This defense, in terms of personnel, is a better fit for the 4-3. 2. Dez Braynt is starting to peak. 3. The running corps look the best they've looked in, at least, 3 years...probably more. 4. The offensive line looks the best it has since 2007. 5. All of our skill positions, for the exception of Lance Dunbar, are healthy for week 1 (even Miles Austin). 6. Call it a hunch, but I think our Safety position, in terms of overall talent and depth looks the best it has since Darren Woodson manned it (I realize that not saying a whole lot...but still). 7. The combination of Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, and Earnie Sims/Justin Durant/DeVonte Holloman is probably the best linebacker tandem we have had since the dynasty; and this is especially the case because Demarcus Ware is on the DL. 8. The addition of Terrance Williams affords the Cowboys the ability to confidently play Miles Austin in the slot, whereas, in times past, the 3rd receiver's for the Cowboys have predominantly been slot receivers forcing Miles to the oustide. 9. This looks to be a very strong staff the Jones' have stacked around Garrett, especially on the defensive side of the ball. 10. If this team can stay relatively healthy (this is truly the biggest key to the Cowboys success in 2013), this team could go deep into the playoffs, possibly further.
I am still cautiously optimistic, but you serioiusly have to be blind not to see that this team has excellent potential for greatness.
