DMN Blog: ESPN examines Cowboys
by Albert Breer
ESPN's putting the Cowboys "On the Clock" today, which means they'll have a roundtable discussion on them during the 6 ET/5 CT Sportscenter, and also that they're offering off a report from Scouts Inc.
Matt Williamson, who did the Scouts piece, opines that the roster is "loaded with talent", but lamented the losses in staff to Miami. Here's his overview ...
The biggest is whether or not the Cowboys can get over the playoff hump and begin having postseason success. They certainly have the personnel to do so. Jason Garrett is waiting in the wings to take over if Wade Phillips cannot elevate Dallas' postseason production, but overall this franchise is in good shape for this time of the year. The Cowboys' losses were minimal and they should replenish some key positions -- namely cornerback, wide receiver and running back -- with their early picks in what looks to be a deep draft. This is an outstanding offense that can withstand injuries, as evidenced by its success last season when Terrell Owens was hurt. Times are good for the Cowboys, but the pressure will surely begin to mount -- particularly on QB Tony Romo -- if they do not take their performance to the next level this season.
