And why would Cromartie be equal to Henry? Why is Bradie James equal to Phillips?
cromartie, is just as good as henry due to henrys injury problems the last 2 years.
james is equal to philips due to year before james was coming into his own, then he got fat, and out of shape trying to put on extra weight to stay up to handling the bigger offensive guards that parcells wanted him to play against, without defensive linemen keeping him off of him
so i was trying to be fair and impartial, so i gave dallas only one edge in the linebacker section, but in the secondary is where the cowboys are superior to the chargers
now keep in mind, i am going on the defensive line play that when the cowboys defense was allowed to attack against the colts, they did that and more, then if you add in when the cowboys were top ranked defense till greg ellis went down, so now if you take into consideration, defensive linemen now being allowed to play one gap instead of two gap, they will be just as good possibly and most likely better than san diegos defensive line
finally, i am going on what i saw in the cowboy-colt game, and what i heard from the offseason pratices,
1st, spears finally got in shape, just like he did when lsu won national championship, all linebackers lost 20 pounds to be faster, so that will help in wade phillips defense, and if you look at all places wade phillips took over, the defense excelled
2nd chris canty was unstoppable in one on one blocking in pratices, sure thats offseason, but at same time, leonard davis is no slouch to get around
3rd, we got another pass rusher in spencer that will help our pass rush and he is more of a player like physical shawn merriman, i am not saying he is shawn merriman, but he is that style of player, all you have to do is go back and ask top ranked offensive tackle joe thomas, whom was the toughest player he went up against, he said anthony spencer, and spencer has good speed in the 40 too, at 6-3, 266 with 4.63 thats pretty good
4th, reporters also said hatcher had a good offseason pratice too, so thats anther young pass rusher, if you look at most defensive linemen, it takes them 2-3 years to come on, look at ware, last year, he finally broke the 10 sack limit, so we will have more of a pass rush
its like randy white said, it took him 2 years, randy said, you had to learn the little baby steps on defensive line, so thats why i say our front seven is better than san diego, and just like one gm said last year, defensively the dallas cowboys have one of the best young front seven in the league,
now with spears 3 years, canty 3 years, ratliff 3 years, ware 4 years after this year, hatcher 2 years after this year, so you should really see something from him by midseason, just like offensive line, it takes 2-3 years for offensive and defensive lines to jell together, so look out, this year i feel is going to be our year
to back that up, in 1974 too tall jones, 73 harvey martin, 75 randy white, in 76 we were knocking on the door, but got knocked off by fluke play against washington, but in 1977 superbowl with a nasty defensive line,
in 91 i believe leon lett, 90 james jones, 89 tony tolbert, 92 charles haley and russell maryland super bowl that year,
89 mark stepnoski, 91 erik williams best i remember, gesek trade 92, rest is history, it takes young defensive and offensive linemen 2-3 years to come on,
......thats messed up...better hope she doesn't Ban you
