Warner is a sitting duck and he will not be able to take a serious beating the entire season. Shockey's hurt and Tiki and Dayne are pathetic. As for Philly,no running game since Duce and I think Sean Taylor, Fred Smoot, and Sean Springs will handle T.O.
For the Cowboys, please bring it on!

I agree with you that these three teams have taken Free agent losses that they have not replaced well. However we have some holes (question marks) at certain positions just like these three teams. Most notably:
1) if MLB Barrow can not play, Pierce has very little experience at MLB and has some big shoes to fill.
2) Our strong saftey position is still very clouded. Bowen has looked terrible this preseason and did not look good last year either. A. Lott has had very limited time at strong safety this preseason, and has looked ok. Some good -some bad, his coverage is good, but his run support might be an issue. Good article about Lott:

3) The defensive tackle position opposite Griffen has not yet been settled. I think it will be Salavea, but....? Brandon Noble has made an impressive recovery from injury, but his play has been average. Ron Warner is the dark horse in this competition.
4) Jansen's injury is a big blow. Hopefully Kenyata can do a good job the entire year.
5) LT Samuels ankle injury is coming at a bad time. Hopefully he will be fine.
6) We REALLY need Phillip Daniels to be healthy this year. But he has been injured all preseason.
