Washington will be familiar with Cowboys going into opener

Not too early to start talking up week one I guess, this from the Dallas Morning News:


Washington has assigned Morocco (http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Morocco) Brown, director of pro personnel, to scout the Dallas in Cowboys in every exhibition game. The clubs open the regular season at FedEx Field (http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/FedEx) on Sept. 12.

Cowboys owner-general manager Jerry Jones (http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Jerry_Jones) has no problems with opponents scouting his team at every opportunity, including the open practices during Organized Team Activities and training camp. The Cowboys are among the more open teams in the overly paranoid NFL (http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/NFL). Jones believes what the club gains in marketing more than offsets whatever information an opponent might gain from watching a pre-season workout.

Jones keeps in mind a conversation he had with veteran coaches Don Shula (http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Don_Shula) and Marty Schottenheimer (http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Marty_Schottenheimer) after the Cowboys won the 1992 season Super Bowl. According to Jones, Shula and Schottenheimer said they knew the Cowboys' plan on every offensive play and ``we were never able to stop it.''

Statement #1 in bold: Putting marketing first. Fail.
Statement #2 in bold: Living in the past. Fail.

This year's Cowboys are not the 1992 Cowboys. Vegas has us as a 4point underdog. I think that is fair since we haven't played a down yet, but I expect Shanahan to shock Wade's team in the first game. I'll go ahead and put an early prediction of 28-17 Skins win...(subject to change as preseason goes along)

4 TD's first game. I LIKE IT!

That's laughable.

I expect jack to disappear after the Week 1 beating, only to show up with wild predictions right before Round 2 vs. Dallas. :D

i was talking about his rationale, not his predictions:)

Im in San An for business until Saturday. The Cowboys are practicing in town on Friday, so I could do some covert ops.

Actually I would prefer to be overt; I would push Romo into the Riverwalk if I saw him there.
