In John Facenda vocce:
...it is a season in which the defenses make their first stirrings of greatness.
It is when the possibilities of dreams of greatness pervade the autumn landscape as the titans of the NFL march in Roman cohort formation
Thus, in the approaching gloom of November the defensive legions regroup to make their final push into the playoffs.
It is the stirrings and first inklings what can be. In the last gleaming of a cold winter's night, and before it long shadows of an afternoon practicing on the frozen tundra, we see the autumnal turns of future Cowboy greats.
Canty. Spears. Bradie James. Carpenter. Others who went through the long dark night of underachievement now stir and move their feet steady and then rhythmically and then in a blaze of motion across the bleak November day.
These are the monsters of Cowboys future.
They take a little step and then believe themselves and bask in the adulation raining on them from the leaden skies made drearier by a dank and arctic wind.
Across the nation, from farmer to plumber to architect and to superdope homeboy from Oaktown, all are enthralled with a defense that is ready to be called great.
(No, it's nothing, just some mace that gal sprayed on me.)
