ESPN Chat with Gary Horton from Scouts Inc.

J.J. (Johnstown): Is there a younger more promising team then Dallas. I mean look at their Defense. whats the average age 26?

Gary Horton: To the credit of the organization, even though Parcells is probably nearing the end of his career and likely wants to win immediately they have looked at the long-term future of the roster rather than loading up with aging veterans. They are young and talented on D and have made a great transition to the 3-4 defense, and they have speed and range that has them becoming a good matchup group. Offensively, I love the changes they are making going to a lot of two-TE sets with one back. They will be much more effective in the middle of the field in 2006 rather than on the perimeter, where they had success last year. And T.O. will keep the offense moving on third down and give Glenn some help. If the line can protect better and avoid having to use max protect schemes this could be a very solid offense. And let me add this: Dallas will always be a team that plays close games and they will not blow people out, but now they have a kicker in Vanderjagt who is as accurate as there is in the game and Dallas has lacked that in recent years. That could mean the difference between 10-6 and 8-8. I really like this team right now.
