I too heard it......But really, I think we're overlooking the Skins. They have just enough talent to be dangerous.
Very good RB....good at OT......very good at LB (Washington is a stud)....big time safety......solid CBs....They had a top two defense last season. Their scheme creates havoc.
Frankly, the Mon game worries me some. Bledsoe isn't exactly good at sack avoidance....He'll be blitzed unmercifully. The Skins will load the box, daring Bledsoe to beat them. Perhaps we can spread them out with four wide?
Anyway....I can't stand Thiesman or McGuire. Thiesman, in over 10 years of broadcasting for the ESPN crew, has never once had anything good to say about the Cowboys. McGuire is sickening to listen to. I have Super Bowls 28 and 30 on tape, and he spews venom constantly about the Cowboys during the NBC broadcasts.
Now, Mike Patrick may "cross over" to the darkside. He was cheerleading along with Thiesman during the game. He immediately answered the "Are the Commanders better than the Cowboys?" with a resounding, "I think so!".
Aikman is so much better a QB and analyst than Thiesman. He never has shown favoritism in any of his broadcasts during Cowboy games. He even seems to be harder on us than any other team.
Just my two cents.
