Just learned about this from a friend and fellow Cowboy fanatic. . Although I don't agree with all the conclusions, it is a welcome in-depth look from what appears to be a knowledgeable source. I'd be very interested in some of the BTB regulars take on their observations.

One clear conclusion, The Boys are decidedly perceived as a 'middle of the pack' team by most prognosticators. While their talent is noted, their weaknesses are equally so. I get the sense a lot of these same authors got burned by an underachieving team last year(didn't we all !)and are (hopefully)overcompensating with this years predictions.

I actually like the idea of a team that hasn't had playoff success lie DAL, earning its respect, rather than having it granted to them the way so many did last year(including me). I hope all of this gives the '09 Cowboys some edge, and a sense of common purpose that was not at all evident last season
