Judging by my in-box, this column touched a nerve with some of you this morning. Many of you sent your own predictions, and I'll be sharing them throughout the day. Here's what Scott had to say:

O-Line will look good early in season and then everyone will get on the bandwagon saying 'Hey, not so bad after all.'

O-Line will go through a midseason slump after the defenses start watching game tapes and making blitz adjustments and then everyone will start saying, "See, we knew this was the weak spot on the team."

O-Line will bounce back after watching game tapes and making its blitz pick-up adjustments and then everyone will say they're finally "jelling."

After years of running strong to the left side of the line (Adams and Allen), the strength this year will be to the right.

Two-tight end offense is used less and less as the coaches figure out that Julius Jones doesn't have the vision necessary to pick his own holes consistently. They'll put in Polite, and Jones will start running like he did the last half of his rookie year."

Scott, we appreciate your e-mail. No matter what formation the Cowboys are in, Julius Jones will have to occasionally "pick his own holes." Interesting that you feel like the right side of the OL will be the strongest. Thanks again for your contribution.

Julius Jones lacks VISION? Julius Jones has not proven to be able to stay healthy. That is it. That is the knock on him. Anyone that has seen him slice through Chicago, Seattle, and Carolina for HUGE rushing games knows he has great vision.
