Valley Ranch, headquarters for the Dallas Cowboys, was a pleasant place to be Monday. Cornerback Terence Newman was on top the lockers, pretending to listen in on Wide Receiver Keyshawn Johnson's conversation. “Silly man,” Johnson said laughing.
Drew Bledsoe was busy signing footballs at Valley Ranch, balls that will be given to charity, but his hands weren't nearly as full as on Sunday. That's when he was busy leading the Cowboys to their fourth win of the season, a game that didn't draw many compliments from Bill Parcells.
“I'm pleased with some of the young ones, and with some of the others,” said Parcells at his Monday press briefing. “I'd just like to, I don't know kick, kick would be a term of endearment, really. It wouldn't be kick with the idea of hurting them.”
Parcells' list of concerns is long in a game, that his team was lucky to win.
Luckily, we were able to pull some of them out,” said Defensive Tackle La’Roi Glover. “That's the kind of ball game we talked about in training camp. Those are the kind of ball games we're going to be in, and who knew, sitting here now, that each and everyone of them came down to the wire.”
Said Defensive End Greg Ellis, “Both teams played hard, both teams had turnovers, gave great effort, and I think that's why you come out with a close football game like that, its the parity.”
But despite all the close games, Dallas has been winning enough of them, to move to the top of NFC East.
“Realistically, it means nothing right now,” says Wide Receiver Keyshawn Johnson. “Okay, your on top of the division, what does that mean, ‘your the front runner’ your not the front runner. You've got a long ways to go before you become the front runner.”
Where the Cowboys go from here is anyone's guess, but after six games, they have won twice as many as they have lost, and in this day of salary cap football, that is certainly a step in the right direction.
