Brave Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 How's this for a laugh? From the DirectTVSports 2001 NFL Preview Issue magazine. The blurb on Dallas says, and I quote: "Its strength being defense, Dallas will play in a lot of low-scoring games." Huh, what? What's that? I have never heard of Dave Spadaro, the author of said blurb, and I think I know why. The man hasn't a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlSkin Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hmmmmm... perhaps they elude to the fact that they've given up the most points so far, this preseason? HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 With Carter at the helm, no TE, and an ancient Emmitt, as bad as it is the strength of that team might just be the defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted August 24, 2001 Author Share Posted August 24, 2001 I just don't see it. Defense - Dallas had the worst run defense in the league last season and they have probably gotten WORSE. Furthermore, they had sub-par starting CBs, both of which are now gone. Exactly where is the strength here. The re-signing of Coakley? Hardly. Maybe saftey, but they are getting a little long in the tooth, are they not? Offense - Yes, they are relying on a rookie QB, but they weren't counting on much from the QB position anyway. Emmitt is old, but still effective when used properly (which does not include the option). The WR corp could be OK if healthy, though that's a big if. The O-line is fairly steady. If defense is the strength of this team, this is going to be a very enjoyable year for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 "defense being its strength" I think it should have been said this way " Dallas's strength is thier defense attorney " sorry, couldnt resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Or, Dallas' strength is their defensiveness. Actually, their real strength is self-delusion. 10 wins, Jerruh?

bulldog Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Gary Horton of the War Room says Dallas is the worst team in the NFL based on what he saw of the team in camp. And for once I agree with him. this team has Larry Allen, Emmitt Smith, Dexter Coakley and 42 other "guys in helmets"......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoR Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Dave Spadaro (or Spew-daro) is the official journalist for the Eagles; he writes daily columns for their website. To say he puts a positive spin on everything would be a gross understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratoman Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 I strongly believe the Skins have a good chance of sweeping the Cboys this year but I said that the last 2 seasons. ------------------ Stratoman life long Skins fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
