Question: I know the draft is months away, but the only positions that I would draft for are: Defensive End, Defensive Tackle, Cornerback and Safety, in that order. No other positions … agree?
Bob Sturm: For me, DE, Safety, and then best difference maker regardless of position. LB, CB, DT, RB, or even QB. I now have a good foundation and need to keep adding difference makers. I am planning a thorough review of the prospects starting immediately.
Looks like they are getting the coaching staff signed to new contracts. I think it would have been a disaster if they had let Marinelli get away.

Since we are not talking much about the Dallas Cowboys, that means the Rangers are still in the hunt:)
Since the first game has went by and nobody has commented figure I would make some...
Cowboys won on a last second drive to beat the Giants, looks like their strategy of trying to run out the clock instead of scoring the TD to put them up by 2 scores backfired...
Cowboys did it with Dez sitting in the locker room with a broken bone in foot, will be out 4-6 weeks from what I heard... Haven't seen where they are going to try to get another receiver so figure we will see a lot more of Gavin Escobar taking on a WR role to fill the void. He's big and fast so he might do alright, Tony will need to learn to trust him more though...
Went over to the "Iggles" website and seen DeMarco Murray had an outstanding day running the ball 8 carries 9 yards... LOL

WOW 8 carries 9 yards?
I like DeMarco but he was asking too much.
I almost walked away when the Gaints were about to make it a 2 score game and my recording stopped. I like to record the game so I don't have to watch 5 minutes of play and 10 minutes of commercial. So I kicked the tv on channel 5 and it has the cowboys at the 10 yard line! OMG what the hell happen!! LOL
Cowboys just shot themselves in the foot over and over again. Beaslys fumble(TD), then Tony put it behind Witten(TD), Dez dropped a easy catch we needed(-TD) and then his replacement had one bounce off him into the arms of the defense(3pts). Defense really kept the Gaints to 6pts!
Gaints are kicking themselves all the way back home!
And they play the 1st 4 games of the season without Hardy and McClain...
Guess we'll see how much Scandrick meant to them since he is out for the season, see how well the rookie Jones fills in for him... As far as I can tell they haven't picked up any CBs or Safeties so they must think what they have is good enough...

We have always gotten torched by the secondary. Its been dallas's biggest issue. Hold a team to nothing on the short throw or run but get creamed by one play long.
Another issue that has always bothered me is we do not have a bruiser for running back like Peterson, Lynch or Jacobs. Someone that walks around 230-240 that can make other teams secondary run for cover. We always get some 200-220lb and they get beat to death.
If Scandrick hadn't gotten hurt I would have said the secondary was going to be better than last year, now I doubt it. The Defense as a whole should be better than last year once they get the suspended players back, especially the defensive line...
