If anyone is intending down the wrong road, he does not will need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him approximately.

The great thing about this league is you just never know. I mean, the Steelers (a highly “ranked” team) just ran for a whopping 36 yards last night. That’s going to win you another championship? That’s the watermark for a great team this year?
You definitely have to get this win. And it’s more than just about comparing talent on each side of the line and asking if one guy is better than the other guy. There are plays. There are schemes. There’s depth and stamina. There’s the mental aspect of the game.
It’ll be very interesting to see it all unfold.

@Bob: That’s exactly my point. BJ Raji hasn’t played a down in a professional game. You don’t know what his learning curve will be, you don’t know what he can do, not yet. Didn’t he come late to camp? All I’m saying is, that I grew up in Dallas, now live in Philly and everyone around the country is picking the Eagles to go to the Super Bowl and here they are worried about their offensive line health, their defense w/o Stewart Bradley, etc. My point is that the same narrative of, “our team has no depth” has been promulgated throughout most NFL cities. What shape will your Packers be in if Ryan Grant goes down or if Greg Jennings goes down? They will have problems as well. The Cowboys are not in a unique situation.

Penn is young with good potential. Still big advantage for Ware. Joseph and Faine are both better than Penn and will give the DL problems. Still don’t see the Bucs scoring much.

If Cowboys pound the rock they can win easy. The more they throw it the closer the game is. F.Adams can’t block speed which is all G. Adams is. Last Cowboy game was Gaines best. Tampa’s secondary is also superior to Dallas receivers. Witten on the young OLB’ is best matchup.
Cowboys 13 Bucs 9

As for thing working against Tampa.
1. no doubt, coaching could be big prob
2. QB was pegged by coach to start and is capable but is just keeping seat warm for year.
3. Have practiced this week together.
4. New OC not installing offense. He is working off the offense already installed and expanding it. Still could be a problem.
5. New DC has changed defense, but its not much different. New starters are unproven but faster and more talented. DT’s big prob.

Sturm is right on about the depth. Maybe depth will develop, but that’s just hoping. Outside of Newman the Cowboy secondary is very average. I like the 2 young corners but we aren’t sure what we have yet. I think the safeties are just bad against the pass. We will see. If the pass rush is working like it should they will get by most of the time. Look out if Ware and Ratliff get blocked.
