Cowboys Team Report
Posted: November 12, 2006

OLB Greg Ellis (Achilles'), the team's captain and best pass rusher, will miss the rest of the season. The Cowboys don't know who will take his spot. It could be Bobby Carpenter, DeMarcus Ware, Kevin Burnett or Al Singleton. Whoever it is, there will be a significant drop-off.
RISING: RB Julius Jones is having the finest year of his three-year career, in part because he has stayed healthy. Jones has good speed and excellent quickness and acceleration.
SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: Drew Bledsoe doesn't like the shotgun because he doesn't like taking his eyes off the pass rush to catch the ball. But Tony Romo likes the shotgun, and the team is using it more now. Romo likes the extra time the shotgun affords him when teams are pressuring him. Plus, the shotgun spreads the defense and makes it easy for him to spot mismatches and quickly deliver the ball.
