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!
He did get the big contract he wanted but I hear it is heavily backloaded which means he won't make much money unless he plays out that contract. My guess is he'll be cut long before he see's significant money and probably out of the league by 2018...

Which means, he should have taken the market value of his talent with such an offensive line.
The RB 'market' is kind of depressed right now with so many RBs about the same.

The reason they picked Cassel up is that he has some experience with the Offensive system the Boys run. It is more complicated than a lot of other teams systems and makes it almost impossible for them to pick someone up off the street and have him learn it in a few weeks...
Having both Romo and Bryant out at the same time will force the Boys to rely on the OL and the running game more than ever, I.E. ball control offense. Which means they should have all the kinks worked out by the time those 2 come back. So if they can continue to win some games (the QB be a bus driver and be at .500 when those 2 come back) they should still have a decent shot at the division and the playoffs. The rest of the NFC East looks to be weak this year so 9-7 should get the job done...
In another 2 weeks Hardy and McClain will be back which will make the Defense even tougher to play against, just in time for the Patriots to stroll into town. It would be fun to watch "Deflategate" head home with tears in his eyes... (LOL)...
Question: How many teams do you know that have made the playoffs with just a ball control offense, bus driver QB and a good defense???
Answer: A lot and some have even won the big dance...
