Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on what has stood out most from start of training camp to now: “I think the competitive spirit of the team is higher than I’ve ever seen it in my four years here. I thought last year we hit the standard we needed to. I thought we were up and down in 2021. Twenty-twenty was a little bit of a blur because there was so much that went on that year. I think the competitive spirit of the team, you could see it from Day 1 in training camp. And they’ve been very, very consistent with it. I think the physicality and the play style in the practice environment I thought was really good. I think the overall outlook of how we went through camp, our efficiency was higher this year than it was last year. … I think the efficiency of how we’re training and how we’re working was the thing that stood out to me from camp.”

Translation: those fights between our guys in camp was pretty cool.

In TC when we all see Diggs call Dakota a “B….A.. B…..” I knew that our final game would be in Las Vegas in February of 2024.

Kisses finger and points to sky……

Translation: I'm doing a good job. Competitive spirit for the team falls under the head coach. As glad as I am to hear it, it feels like self-serving, self-praise from an insecure employee.

That said, McCarthy also did say that the D was "turned around" in 2021...and it was. We'll see.

It's an aggressive sport...know what that creates? But don't let the lips quiver with something...unless a real discussion of fact.
So....let's have these "real discussions of fact" then.

This should be good.

I know this will also sound like a cliche, but this looks like the most talented Cowboys team since the 2007 squad.

Let's buckle up and see what happens.
We will play great in the preseason....13-3....er 13-4?

And then lose in the 2nd round playoffs.

It's what we do.

And I will cheer them on until the last bitter end!

Knew you couldn't make it past insult. And still said nothing about football...and that lines up with a term of ring tapping crybaby.

I don't have a problem stating that Dak Prescott will have a very strong game against the Giants and the running game will be over a 100+ yards. The Cowboy defense gets 3 sacks and limits the Giants to 17 points. Jump on in now... :popcorn:

You couldn't figure out injury ... which was the target of YOUR previous post of looming doom!!

And you missed my point entirely.

Maybe not as smart as you think you are, Id say.

You lecture me about "nothing about football" and post very little about football.
Continue to make insults...not talking about football.
Ginats game prediction? Mkay...I have no problem being optimistic. Make SURE to write that down...or bookmark me saying that...because you will not admit I am cheering on my cowboys. But there it is anyway...."real discussions of fact".
Figure out injury. What? I made no mention of any injury sorry you could not figure out a very slight change of subject.


My point? RIght? That's what you'll want to know. What was it then?

I found it fascinating you want to speak of "real discussions of fact"...on an internet message board for OPINIONS. Even your Ginats prediction which I approve of isn't even remotely close to any "fact" ...yet.

Well let's get on with then...these "real discussions of fact". Insults should probably be the first things canned. I'd say.
