Cowboys Continue Making Right Decisions

June 16, 2008

I’ve been too busy to stop in for a while, but I wanted to take some time to say that I really like the decisions the Cowboys have been making this off-season.  First, in free agency, they focused on re-signing folks like Flozell Adams.   And, while I didn’t agree with taking Felix Jones over Rashard Mendenhall, I liked picking up a two cornerbacks and two running backs, including one of each in the first round.

Now, the Cowboys continue making the right move by re-signing Terrell Owens.  Wow.  I did not think I would be saying that a couple of years ago when the Cowboys signed the troubled receiver, but he’s really worked out fantastically for the Cowboys.  Who would have thought we would be sitting here hoping Terrell Owens would exert his experienced veteren voice to tell Patrick Crayton to be quiet this year?

The theme of the Cowboys offseason was to bring back (roughly) the same team.  And that’s a smart plan.  Who can argue with re-signing as many free agents as you can when you are a 13-3 team?

I know people are still wishing they would have signed or drafted a wide receiver.   Me too.  Not so much for this coming year as for 2009 when we’ll really need one.  But, one thing not covered as much as it should is the fact that we didn’t have Terry Glenn all last year and we still went 13-3 setting a number of Cowboys passing records while we were at it.  

If Glenn can come back and play, we’ll be even more potent.  If not, we still might have an upgraded attack over last year so long as Felix Jones can provide a little explosion.  And early reports from the minicamps are that Miles Austin is looking fantastic — Austin has the speed to stretch the field, so if he can put it together, he could be a real threat.
