I think they made big strides when they cut TO, Ellis, and Roy Williams. There's no "Hard Knocks" or anything else this year. Jessica's gone. The Pokes let the Giants overpay for Canty and brought in a couple of role players. Williams was just not performing, but Ellis and TO had too much of a bitching/performance ratio.

It's a bubble year for Carpenter and Stanback. If they don't produce, they'll be gone.

TO being gone was partly about TO, but was also a message to the rest of the team. "If you don't shut up and take care of business, you're out of here, even if it is a big salary cap hit."

I don't see Romo being on as much of a hot seat as some do. Manning went 0-3 in the playoffs before he started winning. Part of the Dallas problem last year were the three games when Romo was gone. I don't think his hand was fully healed when he came back, either. He floated passes after he came back, and he didn't used to do that. Hopefully, he healed over the off season.

The new distraction du jour is the TE, Martellus Bennett. "Marty B" if your nasty. You can find his work on youtube if you care to..I'm not posting it here. He seems to think the attention whore thing is the way to make his way in the league. That situation bears watching.

And this is T.O.'s fault.
