Earlier today, Rob Ryan launched a thinly veiled shot at the Eagles, not so vaguely referring to them as the “all-hype” team and stating that the Cowboys will “beat their ass”.  I dig it.  I love how the Cowboys are settling into an underdog role this year.  They seem to be at their best when expectations are lowest.  And, with the underwhelming additions they’ve made so far, expectations have reached an all time low. 

Ryan brings a certain edge that this team has lacked for some time.  You could even argue that they haven’t had true swagger since The Playmaker was carted off the field in Philadelphia.  Ryan might bring that to the table.  Of course, if they don’t perform on defense, Ryan’s approach won’t be well received.
