Didn't see this posted anywhere and thought it was notable to the point it deserved it's own thread.

Quote from P. King's MMQB:

Quote:
"We can't be the Patriots. The Patriots, they epitomize the whole team concept. Those guys are all about team and that's it. We're not them. We are a team that has a bunch of names, a bunch of personalities and a bunch of youth.'

--Dallas linebacker Bradie James, to NBCSports.com's Tom Curran'
I wonder how well this went over with Mr. Jones?

He's absolutely right, though. I think Dallas may a have a tough year getting all those game-breakers to work together in a clean and consistent fashion.

As a guy who has always loved names, flash and lots-and-lots of press attention for his team, I'm guessing a big thumbs up.

We'll see how well it went over if Bradie James gets released in the next 24 hours.

Oh good, when I saw the title I thought for sure he was gonna say something like, "We can't be the Patriots. We can't cheat to get where we are, we gotta do things the right way."

Coming from King, I was positive he'd be digging up some kind of quote like that.
