As the dust settles from the cuts, my excitement for the season builds

As the dust settles from the cuts, my excitement for the season builds. We probably will see a few more roster gymnastics before we play the Giants. However, I have to say I like the way that this roster appears to be being constructed ATM. Maybe it’s because I’m 30, but I think this team looks better than it did this time last year. Bear in mind, we went 12-5 with a much weaker team than I think we have this year.

Here are some examples of areas that generate excitement for me. I think our receivers look better than they did this time last year. Heck, even our likely PS receivers look good. The removal of Kelvin Joseph means that we have one less imbecile on the team. I don’t know how the replacement will be, but I doubt he’s as much of an idiot as Bossman Fat was. I think our running game looks lethal. I think the combination of Pollard, Dowdle, Vaughn, and Luepke will be a nice combo. I’m expecting that our "run game" will likely be just quick passes to them to get them outside and let them use their speed.

I also should note that our kicking game looks better. We are not having to recycle Brett Maher again (who couldn’t even make the Broncos squad). We have a kicker who got better as the preseason when on. Our defence is always exciting, and our secondary has me excited. Also, our backup QB situation looks good. I liked Grier, but I think Dak, Rush, and Lance will be a nice trio. Especially since Lance has a chance to learn and develop on what his upside was. I think Dak is going to take to this offense well. Our preseason offense looked explosive, and that’s without the big starters involved. I think, in short, our offense is going to be explosive, our defence is going to be deadly, and our ST looks better. Kick that ball off already!!

I’m sure some of you are going to say that "Jerry loves fans like me" for my expressing my excitement. To which, I will respond by saying that I’m 30, and let me drink my Kool-Aid in peace. I’m excited about the Cowboys this year, and I’m excited to see the team kick the ball off. I don’t know where the season is going to end, but I think we are going to have an exciting team to watch. Go Cowboys!!
