He will be back in 2000. Many of our positives are just starting to surface. Tight end David LaFleur, who figures into the offensive package much more than Gailey admits, is back on schedule for the regular season. LaFleur broke his ankle in a May minicamp.

To hear Jones tell it, all those loose ends will be tied down by Sept. 12. And although Jerry wouldn't and couldn't comment, there is also new Valley Ranch speculation that Leon Lett might be receiving a break from commissioner Paul Tagliabue. It seems very far-fetched that Tags won't suspend Lett for any regular season games, but that's the speculation. Meanwhile, however, Lett remains absent while the Cowboys juggle bodies in the middle of the defensive line. It would be best not to join Jerry on the edge of that particular cliff.
