SonOfWashington Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d81896d98&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true It's only June, but Cowboys have the look of a champion By Gil Brandt | NFL.com Fans and media members alike have wondered why Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have not made many roster moves this offseason. After watching this team go through its recent organized team activities, I now understand. The bottom line is that this is a very good football team. I have been to five of the Cowboys' recent OTAs, and what I've seen is a very cohesive unit. Nobody is grumbling about contract issues. Nobody is complaining about being worked too hard. There are 20 starters back from a team that went 11-5 and won the NFC East last season. Wade Phillips, entering his fourth season as head coach, has lost 30 pounds - he looks like a different guy out there and you can see his enthusiasm. Unlock HQ Video HQ video delivered by Akamai After working with different coaches through his first four seasons, quarterback Tony Romo sits to pee is heading into his fourth season with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. And the comfort level can be seen on the practice field. There are some thin spots - the offensive line in particular cannot afford to suffer any major injuries - but they also have excellent depth at some positions, running back and receiver to name a couple. If third-year back Felix Jones stays healthy, he could have a big year. Bottom line: This team has the look of a serious Super Bowl contender. This year's the year! I suppose a few good practices in June = Super Bowl contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGREENHULK Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Gil Brandt would kiss all the Cowboy players and ownbership on the lips if he could because he loves them so much...complete homer I have to turn the station when he appears on Sirius NFL Radio because it always turns into a boys hug fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 All you need to know about this article is that it was written by Gil Brandt. Who is Gil Brandt? you might ask..... Vice president of player personnel for the Cowboys from 1960-89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Summary:Your head coach losing 30 pounds = championship. Lol I guess so. That's great that they've looked good in practices, but last I checked, practices don't count. If that were true, Tayloe Jacobs would be in the HoF.

Fred Jones Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wow, an article in the off season about the pukes going to the SB. I don't understand why the author had to write a new article. He could have just changed the date of all the other ones from previous years and posted it as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime your coach loses 30 pounds, you're a lock for the Super Bowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johns Bass Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 3rd toughest schedule in football this year. I do not see this massive improvement between last season and this and I think the schedule will kill them - pray to your blue star that you can win 10.

thebluefood Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Might as well cancel the season and hand the trophy to the pokes. I'm sure the higher ups at the NFL would just LOVE that. Screw them, screw the Cowboys, and screw their fan boy sports reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rskins91 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 3rd toughest schedule in football this year. I do not see this massive improvement between last season and this and I think the schedule will kill them - pray to your blue star that you can win 10. Not only is their schedule tough, but they also have an extra preseason game (more chances for injury) and a bye as early as Week 4. Unfortunately, I do think Dallas has the best shot at winning the NFC East, but they have a lot of hurdles to jump over to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Summary:Your head coach losing 30 pounds = championship. That's unfortunate for us. If our Head Coach loses 30 pounds it would be life-threatening. Looks like Shanny has got to bulk up a bit this year for us to have a chance next year when he loses that weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jflow78 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 If anyone in the NFC looks SB bound, it's not in the East. Every year Dallas gets hyped. You'd think people would have figured it out by now. They aren't going anywhere. And maybe they're putting out news that Wade has lost 30 pounds, because they actually fired Wade and have him stuffed in a closet in Jerry's basement, while hiring a guy that looks kind of like Wade but skinnier. If they did that, or hired a real HC and disguised Wade on the sidelines (allowing him to run the defense) then maybe they COULD have a chance at a SB. Wade Phillips = futility.
