[DandyDon52]

Given how disappointing last season I think it is important for this team just from a mental stand point to get out of the gates quick and build confidence.

That is a good point.

if they have a lot of adversity and losing at the first of the season will be hard for them to overcome it after last year.

You have to stop your opponents at some point, no matter how potent your own offense might be. If this team hopes to win games, the defense needs to be at least middle of the pack. And based on what's on paper, that would mean exceeding expectations.

The same way we exceeded expectations in 2014? Oh, and that was an even harder schedule that season. This teams success will only run as far as the running game and a healthy Romo can take them.

And history will somehow automatically repeat itself? Better re-sign all of those same players and tear up Sean Lee's knee again so that we can perfectly replicate the exact conditions!

Nobody's denying that will be the biggest factor, only that it won't be the only one.

It's so dumb to watch early season games where the rosters are depleted because of players smoking pot or taking offseason recreational drugs. The beginnings of season are rough enough before teams come together. It'd be nice to see everybody starting out with their best 53.

We're depleted because we draft RKGs

Don't start that noise up again. But I agree with you that McClain never fit the actual definition and shouldn't be on the team, if that makes you happy.
