DC.COM Blog: Romo Can Learn From Wilson, Garrett

DallasCowboys.com has started its nine-part series on the new assistant coaches, and quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson is up first.

Tony Romo can only benefit from having two young coaches in Garrett and Wilson who know first-hand what it's like playing in Dallas (though not necessarily under the same microscope). They saw how Troy Aikman dealt with the media attention. And regarding their own careers, Wilson and Garrett were two extremely diligent, smart players. Great examples for Romo.

If Jon Kitna claims the Lions will win at least 10 games this year, can the Cowboys become the first 16-0 team in league history? Fair question.

Seriously though, 10 wins? I know Detroit took advantage of a struggling Cowboys defense last December, but that franchise just seems doomed no matter what changes it makes. Calvin Johnson reminds me of a young No. 81, however. Good news for Kitna.

The Desperados were in primetime Monday night (ESPN2), soundly beating Colorado to secure home-field advantage throughout the National Conference playoffs and finish with the best single-season record in AFL history (15-1). As quarterback Clint Dolezel says, home-field advantage might mean more in the AFL than any other league in any other sport.
