The Dallas Cowboy's biggest focuses of the off-season
USAToday
Inside Slant
TIDBIT—Tackle: Flozell Adams should be back to cement things at left tackle, but improvement must be made on the right side, either by Rob Petitti or a replacement. The Cowboys' first draft pick could be a tackle.
—Safety: That the Cowboys considered bringing Darren Woodson out of retirement for the playoffs is a sign they are not comfortable with what they have at safety. Keith Davis is a solid safety but a great special teams player.
—Inside linebacker: With Dat Nguyen set to retire, the Cowboys need a starter opposite Bradie James at inside linebacker and quality backups for depth purposes. Undrafted free agent Ryan Fowler is the current starter at inside linebacker.
—Kicker: The Cowboys made four changes at kicker in 2005. They need someone they can count on in 2006. Shaun Suisham will get a look, but he is not the answer.
—Receiver: Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn are still productive, but they are aging. Third receiver Patrick Crayton had a strong start but tailed off at the end. A speed receiver for the future is a need.
