This off-season has obviously been disappointing to say the least. The bullpen has seen some minor improvements, however there have been no upgrades on offense yet (I'm still holding on to hope that something will happen). So my question to everyone is, is it time to rebuild?

As far as our payroll goes i had some questions that i thought some of you guys could help answer. I know that Matthews jr and Speier are still on the payroll this year but when will they be dumped off.

Does anyone know what kind of contract Crawford is looking for, and what possible free agents we have from our current team and what they will be asking for.

And I'm not sure this is possible to find out but what is the Angels payroll and how much money will be available at the beginning of the resigning period.

This years Cowboys was a great collection of talent with veterans like Ware,  Romo, and Brooking playing solid, and new talent arising in the likes of Austin, Spencer, and Jenkins. 

The Offense:

YPG:  399.4 2nd in the NFL second to the Saints

Passing: 267.9 ypg good enough for 6th in the NFL, behind the likes of pass happy NO, NE, HOU

Rushing: 131.4 ypg with an average 4.8 per carry, this three headed monster at RB is one of the best in the game, and should be around for a while, if they stay healthy.

What does it all mean:  The Cowboys offensive production was really sparked by the great play of both Miles Austin and Tony Romo. While Choice, Barber and Jones ran by, and through anyone in their way.

The Defense:

YPG: 315.9 This is good enough for 9th best in the NFL, however they were ranked 2nd in points allowed an outstanding 15.6 PPG.

Pass Defense: This young battered secondary was ranked 20th in pass YPG, but ranked 10th in passing TD's allowed with only 19 to a 26th ranked 11 interceptions.

Rush Defense: Ranked 4th in the NFL with a 90.5 YPG average this aggressive D-Line and Line Backing crew showed their worth, only allowing 4.0 YPC tied for 8th in the league.

What does it all mean: While there is certainly room for improvement in the secondary, both the Veterans and Rookies among our front 7 showed power shutting down the run.

This Cowboys team that started off slow with a record of 3-2 coming out of week 7 with a power ranking of 19th in the league turned it on in the second half climbing as high a 7th in the power ranking after week 13's defeat of the Saints. This bodes well for a successful 2010 showing that as the younger players got a chance to progress the team improved (I know DUH). With a good draft, and maybe a free agent or trade to upgrade our secondary we can expect an even more improved team with another playoff appearance this year, and god willing a super bowl victory in the none to distant future.
