There’s a minicamp at Valley Ranch this weekend, only three months before training camp in San Antonio and a mere 139 days until the Dallas Cowboys kick off their 2009 NFL season against the Buccaneers in Tampa.
No better time to look into my crystal football and predict the team’s opening-day roster.
I guess at this point we have to assume Wade Phillips is going to be back? Right, then. Onward and upward.
I’m not holding my breath for the winner of Michael Irvin’s reality show to make the team, much less have an impact. And, after last weekend’s drab draft, I don’t see any rookie earning a starting job.
