Hi, I'm back!
I'm not sure what happened from May to July, but now that it's August and the lockout is officially over, football is steadily shifting it's way back into my focus.
As far as Dallas in the free agent market... they haven't made any huge splashes, a couple guys were signed, but no one of importance (yet, anyway.)
The Cowboys did part ways with WR Roy Williams (bout time,) and RB Marion Barber (eh...) and unfortunately they lost WR Sam Hurd... all of these players went to Chicago. Columbo was also cut, as well as a few others which I can't remember right now.
In other Cowboys news:
Jason Garrett is trying his best to change the enviornment in Dallas... for rookies, he is only giving them silver helmets... if they want their star, they have to earn it. It would probably be wise to implement this for the veterans too, but one step at a time.
Rob Ryan is also a very welcome change of pace and he seems to be on schedule to turn this defense up a notch or two. His attitude is vastly different than Wade Phillips and that is a very good thing.
In other NFL news:
- The Eagles seem to be going for a record to sign the most free agent names they can acquire. They got CB Amosugha from Oakland, they got RB Ronnie Brown from Miami, they got Rodgers-Cromartie, they got Vince Young, they got... etc... I'm hoping they are all a bust.
- Madden 2012's release date has been pushed back to August 30th in an effort to be "closer to the start of the season." which kind of sucks, but you know, whatever, I'll still get it.
That's all for my quick recap... I am positive that I will be writing more and more since the 2011/2012 season is just heating up... GO COWBOYS!!!
