Our Other Guest Columnist
Only got two submissions this week, and this is the second. I thought this might stoke the fires a little bit, get everyone to put their game faces on a little earlier than usual. Maybe get a good back and forth going with the Cowboys fans. So here is Harvey...

Hello everyone. Got another great column from Meg and figured I would post it. I got one from a Cowboys fan as well that will post in a few hours. Meg takes a sharp eye to the defense and we'll have to see if getting some guys back healthy -...

The Power Of The Draft
We've been going back and forth about the merits of draft vs. free agency a lot lately, and, I have a feeling we will be for quite some time. Seems some teams make the assumption that free agency will bring instantaneous positive change, since the players are established in the...

Injuries/Campbell Redux
Santana was not on the field at all; everyone else was but we have no idea how much work they took. Won't know till Coach Joe talks to us. As for JC, those wondering about his ability to enter in the 4th of a blowout - BOOYAKAHOT - you nailed...

Third QB Dissertation
From the tone of some comments yesterday I figured a diversionary entry was needed this morning. Try this one on for size. It's even somewhat positive. There has been a lot of confusion among the fans and us in the media about the dreaded third QB rule, a particular...

Final Thoughts On Free Agency
Had some free-agency related ideas/ramblings I wanted to put out there, to kind of show the mental side of the game from all perspective. Andre Carter's second free agent trip was to Denver, after Washington. It is a town he loves, an area he grew up in a certain degree...

MNF Halftime Junk
Hey there, sorry for the late check in. I'm crunching numbers for a story for Wed. paper and watching the game. Megskin got me to thinking with some of the stats she dug up last week; I am taking them up a level. It ain't pretty. Can't believe ESPN is...

Injury Update
Okay, Coach Joe says it's too early to determine Sunday's status for most of the injured guys. Brunell says he will practice Wednesday and is good to go for the Cowboys. Campbell split snaps with Collins today and had the bulk of the work last week. But Gibbs says the...
