Is Garrett good enough?
Cowboys beat writer Calvin Watkins looked at 10 big questions surrounding the Cowboys this season. Feel free to offer your two cents. This is the eighth one.
Can Jason Garrett become a good play caller?
Calvin's comments:
Garrett said he hopes he's an offensive coordinator who calls the right plays. He'd better be, because Tony Sparano, who called the plays last season, helped the Cowboys finish with the NFL's No. 5 offense. Dallas scored 20 or more points 12 times last season and produced two receivers with 1,000-plus yards, a running back with more than 1,000 yards and another running back with 16 total touchdowns. Garrett, who has developed a bond with Romo, likes the Cowboys offense of the 1990s, when throwing the ball downfield to big-play receivers and a strong tight end helped the the team win three Super Bowls. Garrett has a good foundation, but how he handles Owens' moodiness and the carries of Julius Jones and Marion Barber will be a major concern.
