I’ve been mostly quiet for the whole off-season, but with training camp about to kick off in San Antonio, I wanted to put down a few thoughts, hopes and concerns for the upcoming season. In no particular order:
 

 
By taking a wide receiver in the first round, Dallas seems to have stocked itself with a whole lot of either talented, or highly paid receivers. Something has to give. Fortunately for Jerry, this season is uncapped. Because of that, I think this year's roster is all about next year.
 

I wish I could blame play-calling or effort or overconfidence, but the fact of the matter is, Dallas just got whipped by a better team.
 
The O-Line got whipped by a pass rush that gave Romo a vest pocket, at best. At one point, Niles Crane said Romo was "running for his life." I wish. He was bracing for a hit - he had no room to run.
 

Former Head Coach Bill Parcells used to warn his players not to "eat the cheese," meaning not to get too caught up in their own good press. Cheese, he reasoned is used to bait traps.
 
There are a lot of things I don't miss about Big Bill, but now would be a good time for the Cowboys to heed the that advice. And for fans still giddy about the first play-off win since 1873 (or whenever,) don't be too quick to drink the Kool-Aid.
