This preseason has not inspired confidence among the Cowboys faithful.
Linebacker Keith Brooking acknowledged the doom and gloom that swirls outside the team's lockerroom. Are people overreacting to that 23-7 loss to Houston?
"Well, my wife is freaking out,'' Brooking said. "She's overreacting. I had to sit down and have a talk with her last night. So based on her, yeah.''
Brooking said he was able to calm his wife, Holly, and that she's still a believer. He now has to work on his son, Logan, who told his father he's an Atlanta Falcons fan.
Now, back to the Cowboys.
"There's a fine line between us being accountable and looking at it for what it is and getting better and not overreacting and allowing that to effect our confidence,'' Brooking said of the team's preseason.
"We know how to balance that. We've figured it out. We're going to work extremely hard these next 10 days before the (Washington) game and be on our best on that Sunday.''
