Dallas 34, Houston 6

Just a few thoughts on this weekend's Cowboy victory.

Any win is a good win but this was a game they were suppose to win. In fact, they didn't look very good in the first half and if Houston was any good they could have taken advantage of Dallas' sluggishness.

Also, I am hoping the two biggest free agent acquisitions and biggest distractions, T.O and Mike Vanderjagt, are about to settle in. T.O. caught 3 TD passes and Vanderjagt is now the only place kicker on the roster and his kickoffs have been acceptable. I did find it curious, though, that Bill went for it on 4th down during the 3rd quarter when it would have been about a 49 yard field. I wonder if Bill still doesn't have confidence in him.

Finally, it isn't often you can look at your punter as a weapon but Matt McBriar is a real weapon. He had 4 punts for an average of 56 yards with 2 inside the 20 and a long of 75 yards.

This week against the Giants will be a good test of their progress.
