Im watching the video america's game season 2 dallas cowboys 1992

its pretty remarkable...

just got to the point where the team is complete trash... even aikman is garbage, video shows him lining up under the left guard to take the snap (pretty funny stuff)...

Then jones and johnson decide to trade walker. (which obviously pissed aikman off at the time). He says they decide to trade the only good player on the team, basically a *** moment....

but we all know what comes of that... (that said I wish we had got something for T.O.)

My point is regardless of what we had last year, we've got to move forward with what we have this year, and that said I'm really excited about it.

Felix Jones redshirt year 1
Tashard Choice yr2
Martellus Bennett yr2
Anthony Spencer yr3 yr1 starter
Gerald Sensabaugh
Mike Jenkins yr2
Orlando Scandrick yr2
Roy Williams Dallas yr 2
Keith Brooking yr 1
Mike Mickens
Victor Butler
Kyle Kosier
Flozell Adams
Montrae Holland yr 2
Manuel Johnson
DeAngelo Smith
Michael Hamlin
Jon Kitna
Bradie James
Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips
 
P.S. I really do think we can get our swagger back.

We really picked it up when Romo replaced Bledsoe, but the strangest thing happened. This time crowned themselves super bowl champions before we won anything.

We went 13-3, struggled a little at the end, and lost our first playoff game.

But the next year... we thought... hey... we're super bowl favorites... and for like 8 weeks, teams played us like we were defending super bowl champions. We got our ***** taken to us week in and week out.

I think this team realizes that they aren't any championship team. But I think it was good that we've gone youthful now.

There is no more T.O. there is no Greg Ellis...

Oldest players on the team are Flozell, Kitna, and Brooking...

only those 3 players have double digit playing experience...

brooking is a stop gap linebacker who knows the system and fits better than zach thomas

kitna is a backup qb

and flozell is a linemen (who is allowed to be a little older, but hopefully doesn't continue his regression, hopefully he is just healthy this year)

runners up
marc colombo - 8 years pro, this guy is all heart (maybe heart isnt the right word, he is nasty, even at his age and playing time he is the type of player you want)

leonard davis - 9 years pro (see colombo)

Gurode - 8 years pro (see davis)

only a few others with 7/8 years pro, and most of them are offensive linemen.

For the first time in a long time, this team is REALLY REALLY young. But still has key leadership i think, were it needs to have it.

I do think we need to start drafting offensive linemen and wide receivers.
 
I don't know, you seem to either be really positive or really negative, no middle ground for you.

strikes me as a little odd.

course it is the middle of the night and I am beginngin to nod off, so maybe I am bi-polar.
 
Galian Beast, good write up on the age of our roster. We were not only old the past few years but also we had too many character issue guys. Things have changed dramatically this off-season.

I hope we only have three or four of the 14 players with 7 yrs or better on the roster after this season. This will make us younger, less complacent, and perhaps stronger later in the year.

Ware needs to step up as the leader on defense...
Witten needs to step up as the leader on offense...

Coaches need to get fundamentals in place...too many errors and stupid mistakes at bad times. And they need to be a more physical team in all three phases of the game.
 
Might be worth noting that Jimmy Johnson tried to trade Irvin before he shopped Walker. He was talked out of it by none other than crazy Al Davis. Johnson also tried to trade Walker to Cleveland before being told by our villified GM that you always shop around.

We've got a very young team. If we could draft an offensive lineman or two, we're set to go a long way for at least the next half decade if not longer.
