My thoughts:
I was in London for the first Cowboys playoff game in many years. I tried like crazy to find some way to watch it, but it started at 1:00am there, and all the American sports bars there shut down at 11. Oh well, I thought, I remember being on a bus and missing the 1st playoff game of the Jimmy Johnson era, when with Bill Bates's help they unexpectedly beat the Bears to start a great run. Boy, was I wrong.
A good pass rusher will be alot harder to come by than a good running back, I think. I don't know how great a blocker Hambrick is, and doubt that moving him to fullback would be very beneficial. I don't think Mario Edwards is quite as bad as many do. There were several lousy pass interference calls against him throughout the year. The recievers they have are more than adequate, if they'd just catch the damn ball (I know, sounds stupid, but I mean it.) They don't use Joey Galloway or the tight ends enough, and Terry Glen, despite some world-class catches early in the season, is just not a possession reciever. With the exception of running back, I think they need to just draft the best player on their board available at the time, and not for position. Has anyone heard of someone else being sent down to the minors in football like Chad Hutchison going to Europe before and it working? I can't think of another instance. Was Curt Warner on a team before playing "in the minors" or did he start out there?
