Preseason cranks up tomorrow and that means we're less than a month from games that count.

This is the best time of year.

I never got the Pryor hype. Never thought he was all that at OSU. OSU fans over rate everyone who goes through that program. Just because someone beasts in High School doesn't mean they're going to eventually take over the big leagues. Troy Smith Jr. minus the Heisman.

I'm sure they'll get a deal done with the officials. I'm almost always on the side of the worker, and this is no exception. Pay the officials for fuck's sake. I'm ignorant of the situation admittedly. I'm assuming what they're asking for won't break the most successful league (by far too) in the United States.

As for preseason, it's awful. It's a love/hate deal for sure. It's great to see football back, but you only get starters for a quarter if that. Game 3 is the best since it's usually a full half. Otherwise, I watch the starters and then turn it off. Football loses a ton when it's not for real.

i'm not sure of the money issues, but the nfl wants to have the refs go from part time employees to full time.

I usually flip back and forth between the game and something else.

Isaac Redman had an MRI on his groin and Jason Witten looks to be having surgery on his spleen. Both could miss the rest of the pre-season and potentially more.

Lions RB Jahvid Best is likely to start this season on physically unable to perform list, which would sideline him at least first six games.

I thought Witten looked bad after that hit he took Monday. It concerned me but no one ever said anything about it...until now. I've read it's probably not ruptured but he's definitely out for the preseason. If it is ruptured, he could be done for the season, or most of it.

Without Witten, this team could be 4-12 or worse unless the defense drastically improves over last season. And by the defense, I mean the secondary. Without Witten, the few bright spots are Ware, Romo, Murray, and...um...the jury is out. Ok, Sean Lee can play.

It all comes down to the safeties, really. Carr is a fantastic Corner, Claiborne is as hoghly touted a CB prospect as there could be (was hoping Carolina would get him), and Scandrick and Jenkins can't be as bad as they were. They just can't be. But, as an outsider looking in, Sensebaugh and whomever else you guys have at safety need to step up dramatically.

Witten and Robinson did a great job as the 3rd and fourth targets last year after corners and safeties covered Bryant and Austin. Without both of them, Dallas may be stuck with a run game with the official worst line in the NFL. That's a scary sound for any fan.

The Cowboys will do like they always do: get overhyped by the media and fold under pressure. I wouldn't rule them out of being last in the division.

re: NFL Thread: Week 1 - Glorious

Even the media seems down on them this year. That is shocking. ESPN and NFL Network have been hyping The Giants and The Eagles the most out of the East this year.

James Harrison had surgery and could go on the PUP list. UDK will be happy that the Steelers chances of making the playoffs just got even slimmer. Honestly, I'd be surprised if the Steelers finished with a winning record.

Also, Morris Claiborne has had several injuries, has he not? I highly doubt he'll have a good rookie year.

That trade would be vetoed. It's UNFAIR.

Yeah Claiborne has. It's unfortunate. This is going to be a long year. Maybe Garrett gets fired, but Jerry will just hire some other spare that he can control.

And I just read that Redman went down in practice today. Not sure why they had him practice with a groin injury. Maybe it wasn't a full blown injury. Probably is now.

Rumor has it that T-Jax could end up in Arizona via trade or to a team that loses a starting QB this season. Time to start uo the, "Where Will T-Jax End Up" Vbookie.
