Last years squad was already a legit 12-4 team. Throw in 3 players ranked top 21 on their draft board for a late first, a late second, and some petty cash for a total stud to slide right in on a line that was already the league's best. 3 of those 3 coming from 'premium positions' - QB, T, Pass Rusher, CB.
Young guys entering the prime of their careers like Smith, Fred, T-Will, Martin, Bease, Crawford, Lawrence, McClain will inevitably improve. Romo will be healthier and Dez will be playing for a mega deal.
The D gets its captain and a heady playmaker with Lee coming back, adds a former pro bowler in lunatic Greg Hardy (27 sacks in his last 31 games) playing for a contract with a giant chip on his shoulder. A freaky athletic corner/safety pushes a former 6 overall draft pick to the dime. Man our defense suddenly went from an average group to a potential Top 5-10 Unit.
Our biggest question mark is IMO the most exciting proposition - 3 young runners with fresh legs eager for an opportunity to run behind this line. Randall showed flashes, Williams seems capable and McFadden could be the game changer. There certainly was a lot of meat on the bone and Run DMC has home run potential with the ability to grind a team out late.
And even if the committee can't carry a Murray sized load, I don't think we'll lose too much sleep leaning a bit on our franchise QB that's playing the best football of his life.
You can feel it, it's real hype - reminiscent of the 92 squad that tasted success and couldn't wait an opportunity to take what was theirs. This isn't HBO fueled, no more over-hyped offseason moves to overcompensate for drafting poorly and signing bad contracts.
This isn't just a bunch of talented individuals, this is a football team ladies and gentlemen, and a damn good one at that. They dress like one, talk like one, play like one and battle week in and week out. The Cowboys were always a tough team, Romo kept them competitive - but now its different, we are one of those teams that will blow you out if you don't come correctly.
You can see it in their interviews, you can see how they interact in the locker room - these guys are on a mission. Last year they were denied their opportunity this year I've got a feeling they are going to leave no doubt.
Go Cowboys.

Well, I was really just speaking for so many others on here.
