To your other point....not concerned about Water being out of football and missing camp/pre-season. In 2011, he signed with the Patriots on Sep 4th, well after camp and preseason, and went on to start every game (including the Super Bowl) and earn another Pro Bowl nod along the way.

The guy is an immediate upgrade at RG. And I kind of like having a veteran of this caliber working next to Travis Frederick every day.

Not saying this sign will make Dallas lead the league in rushing. But he is a good upgrade at RG.

I have seen them to an extent, and I am sure you have a better grasp on it than I. My point was just to take await and see approach is all. He very well could be better than anything you have and on paper 2 years ago he definitely was, but now with the layoff I would just wait to make a statement like the poster of the article.

He may be good, average which is better than what is in Big D now, or he could be out of real football shape and take some time (in shape and football shape are two different things). But dude I applaude the effort to at least try (and have a good shot) at getting better up front. Thats all I was really trying to say.

So what are your feelings on the two openers in the NFCE?

Was just checking the odds on this weekends games. Denver is a 9 point favorite over Baltimore.

But for the NFCE games this week, each home team is favored by only 3 points. Which means the odds makers are basically calling it even in both games.

I think Dallas FINALLY gets a win over the G-Men in AT&T Stadium. Giants are 4-0 at AT&T, but Dallas is 6-0 versus NYG in season opening games. And if there is any team in more injury trouble then the Cowboys, its the Giants. Deihl and Bass will probably not play. And they are dinged up in the offensive backfield and the defensive secondary.

Skins win at home over Philly. But I am interested to see a couple of things in this game.

1. How will the Shanny's use RG3? Will they try and protect him more? Did not see Griffin dump passes out of bounds last season when under duress, he usually ran for the sticks.

2. Want to see how the Eagles pace their offense. Chip Kellys offense at OSU took an average of just over 20 seconds per play. That is several seconds faster than the fastest in the NFL last season (Patriots).

I think the Cowboys will win big, but this is said with the follow up. I think they will quickly become too big for their shoes, and will crash and burn, if not week 2, then week 3. By week 8, they will be in full flames.
