DMN - Crayton "Now we're contenders"

When you wear the star on your helmet, you expect good things. Cowboys receiver Patrick Crayton certainly thinks this will be a good season. At least, he's expecting one. In Crayton's mind, the Cowboys should definitely be playing in the Super Bowl.

"Right now, we're trying to get it right back," Crayton said. "Each year we take one step closer. This is our year where we have to take it. We should be playing in Tampa Bay come February 1. We should be playing in Tampa Bay. That's our ultimate goal this year.

"We're not just playoff possibilities, now we're contenders. As contenders, we're one of the top teams to beat, I believe.

"Who did we lose? Julius [Jones] and Anthony Fasano. That's it. Everybody else is back. The whole front five is solidified. The receivers are here. The running backs are here, and we've got two guys brought in for Julius being Felix [Jones] and Tashard [Choice], so you're getting two for one. That's usually a good trade most of the time."

Anybody disagree with Crayton's thinking about the offense?
