State of the BTB Address

I was one of the curious ones. Thanks for filling us in, and great job to you all for the hard work you guys do maintaining this blog!

the amount of work that gets churned out here far exceeds the others. I’m not surprised a few writers decided to step back from the fire as I would imagine it consumes hours and hours of time. Much admiration to all the writers for that, as well as admiration for the posters’ many different opinions and viewpoints. These are the things that keep me coming back daily and will continue to do so.

I work exclusively behind my computer all day and I am constantly checking BTB looking for the next great piece written about our beloved Cowboys and find myself disappointed when there is nothing new. I have to remind myself that I am just spoiled by all the great coverage and that is easily done by going over to some of the other blogs (Hogs Haven comes to mind). So thank you for spoiling us with a plethora of information and analysis, I don’t even go anywhere else for Cowboys information anymore this site is that awesome. Thanks to everyone to writes and contributes to the site to make it the best on the web.

I love your stuff. Keeps me coming back for more. This has been a great way to interact with people that have the same passion as I do.

The great part of your analysis is that it passes the eyeball test. I am not nearly as well versed in the intricacies of football as you are. But I know what is good and what’s not when I see it. You guys don’t use statistics to prop up the team or any one player. You are after the truth, and I dig that. 99% of what you say passes the eyeball test. I feel smarter on football every week.

One request for columns. Can you educate us knuckledraggers on the systems that are run? For instance, our offense runs x scheme where we try to exploit this part of the D. Or, Marcus Spears is a good d end in our scheme because of x and y. For the most part, I have very limited knowledge of our schemes and what the goal of each position or unit has. Raf does a great job of taking metrics (KC Joyner stuff) and incorporating that into the posts, which is quite enjoyable.

Bottom line, love it. Can’t get enough.

I’ve been lurking for a long time and have recently started posting comments as well. I just wanted to agree, and say that you are doing an amazing job. This is my favorite site to visit about Cowboys, and i’m here at least a couple times a day. Great job, and I hope you all keep up the good work! Thanks everyone!

It’s easy to forget how much work goes into the writing, not to mention all the organization behind the scenes. Grizz, Raf, Aaron, Fish and everyone posting … you make following the Cowboys all that much more entertaining!

Thanks for all you do. This is the first site I go to to get the latest and most accurate Dallas Cowboys updates and analysis.

I have been following Rafael from his last 2 sides, because as you said his anlysis is the best. I often check this site and in the past the previous 2 sites looking for his latest Tread. I will say this site has been the best. The SB nation has done an excellent job with the format and the quality of the writers.

Beside thank you, Aaron and Rafael I wanted to let you know your last comments are very true and have allowed me to turn even young readers to your site. Keep up the good work.

P.S. Besides policing bad behavior I wish you would police some people from bad mouthing ex-cowboys (primarily Emmit). I know that sometimes he has deserved it, but it’s just a pep-peeve of mine. To me it’s kind of like talking bad about your family.

Writers,

Please write an Tread as to why Woodson deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I know I am very bias, but the longer he has been gone the more I know how good he was. IMO we have struggled more to replace Darren than we have to replace Troy.

A big thanks to you, Raf, Aaron for all the work you guys have put into improving on an already superb blog, and welcome to the new addition, Fish (good for both parties, I think).

A special shout out to Jim Vance and Carl (GloryDays88) Shelton for filling in with some good articles over the long boring off-season. Glad to hear Jim is OK now, and hope to see the occasional Carl Shelton article during the season.

I’ve started reading some of the other team’s blogs more this year, and there are some good writers out there, but for overall quality content, selection, and contribution by the bloggers, I have to say this blog is the best of the bunch. Congrats guys.

I’m here far too often, and shockingly enough every time I come back there’s more to digest.

Kudos to all involved.

I was wondering what happened to those guys.

I have only been coming here since this last offseason-got the link for the DMN, but I am glad I found it. It is wonderful to read well-written articles from the writers here, but also Fanposts from other bloggers (5Blings & One Cool Customer are 2 of my favorites)about my Cowboys that you can’t get anywhere else. The comments are always entertaining, I can’t get enough.

Appreciate all you do!

I can’t even believe that months ago before I found this site, I was satisfied with ESPN or dallascowboys.com. BTB is second to none, and it is all due to the unbelievable passion and work ethic that you writers have. Keep it up, and congratulations on setting the bar so high.

Mobile phones and btb have enabled me to get up to date Cowboys news when I’m pooping and having sex.

This is, and has been my “go to” site for a couple years now. I read every morning with my coffee and sneak in as many visits as possible throughout the day. Combining the 2 sites has really turned this place into a monster that shall not be rivaled any time soon. Frankly, I doubt it’s even possible. So thanks a lot guys and keep up the great work!

If I could add anything to the site it would be a weekly blogger appearance by one of the Cowboys, kinda like Marty B. does for the DMN. Easier said than done, right? Oh, and more cheerleaders.

That’s tough…all we had then was Mosely and the DMN. I was a big fan of C-F as well, but it just wasn’t enough. Then I came across this site and it became a staple of my daily internet browsing .

 Back then it was just Grizz, and I have no clue how he did it.

Being able to see how this community has grown, as SB Nation has grown, and how Grizz has put together the absolute best Dallas Cowboys website on the net….it’s special. No doubt about it.

of BTB… those that have contributed in the past, the recent past and the present… I have enjoyed every writers comments, articles, posts, etc… not once have i thought to myself “this guy has no idea what he’s talking about” (ex. DMN, espn, etc)… the thing i appreciate the most is when the contributors question what needs to be questioned… SO, I appreciate the work of BTB and keep up the good work, and I look forward to each and every post I read!

A lot of really mean-spirited bloggers said you had outgrown us, but not me! OK, maybe me, but only after DalaiLuke talked me into it.

Nothing I could add that wouldn’t be obvious. This site has great writers, but because of the tone you guys have set, we also have some of the best bloggers with the sharpest football discussions I’ve ever seen. It’s a package deal that you guys have made possible through hard work and a clear vision. Thanks again.

We are truly lucky to have it, them and you.

Bravo!

The only “mainstream” columnist I really paid much attention to was Dr. Z and it’s sad to hear he’s been taken out of the game by unforeseen natural circumstances. I find Raf to be the most balanced but never downtrodden Cowboys analyst out there. Keep up the good work. Why would I even consider going elsewhere for my Cowboys fix?

I’m sure there are a lot of people like me that have been coming the site for years, but are posting a little less, even though we are still around. Be assured, that we know this is THE site for Cowboys fans.

I was thinking in the months coming into the season about starting a blog about my beloved Cowboys and then I found BTB. It’s just what I was looking for as it allows fans to post their thoughts and have their own columns, more or less. It’s also a great way to connect with other fans around the country who LOVE our ’Boys and HATE our other NFC East rivals. One thing in particular I do enjoy is the ability to post our thoughts as the game is going on and either vent our frustrations or celebrate a sweet victory.

Thanks for providing this site guys. I know it’s got to be a challenge keeping this all going and satisfying all of us die-hard Cowboy Fans.

Great job!

Grizz—just wanted to tell you that I’m so impressed with what you’ve done with the site. I usually only get to read the RSS feed so I don’t comment much, but it’s amazing how far this thing has come from your original blog.

Congratulations for a fantastic site and best of luck on keeping it going!

So its nice to come to only 1 spot.

One thing that I would LOVE to see added again is the summaries of Wade’s press conferences. I often don’t have time to listen to them, so I really appreciated this site providing a loose translation. Is this something we can add again soon?

Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who is contributing and has contributed in the past for making this the best Cowboys site ever.
