At least Jerry Jones is realistic about his Glitz & Glam team (his words, not mine). Here is what he told his players as they prepare for the season via ESPN.
Instead of alluding to possible Super Bowl dreams, Jones told the players in his address to the crowd, that “our back’s up against the wall.”
Coming off three straight 8-8 seasons and winless so far in the preseason, the Cowboys’ expectations have not been this low since the team went through three straight 5-11 seasons in 2000-02. But Jones kept thinking a Super Bowl was just around the corner.
“You know that we have an uphill battle this year,” Jones said, “and we do have an uphill battle. But most of you had an uphill battle when you came to camp. Most of you did. And some of you have absolutely rose to the occasion.”
While the Cowboys as always have star power, I just don’t see the depth on the roster to compete for anything of significance. They will struggle to get to 8-8, but they will be entertaining.
