It is the time of year when everyone is curious about how there team will perform during the next season?

There are many Cowboys fans across the United States that are wondering this very thing about there beloved Cowboys. Is this year going to be better then last year? Is this finally going to be the year that the cowboys win in the playoffs?

Will Tony Romo play well in December? Who is going to step up now that Terrell Owens is gone?

These are the questions that need to be answered in order to determine weather the cowboys are going to be any better then they where last year.

Tony Romo is under huge pressure to succeed this year. He is under huge pressure to play well in December. The last couple of seasons Tony Romo has cracked under pressure. Is this year going to be any different?

It is now Tony Romo's team to carry on his own shoulders. No Terrell Owens is there demanding a certain amount of touches per game. If Romo doesn't do well this year will he be back next year?

Let's hope that he can get through this season without injury because the season of the Dallas Cowboys depends on Tony Romo. Wade Phillips says that Tony Romo will be better this next year. If this is true then the Dallas Cowboys should be better this next year.

The Running Backs of the Dallas Cowboys are one of the bright spots of the team. Marion Barber will be back to bruise opposing teams defenses. Felix Jones will be back to run around opposing team defenses and Choice will be back to relieve Barber and Jones.

The key for the running backs is to stay healthy. If Barber and Jones are in the game the Dallas offense is scary. If they are on the bench it does not seem so amazing. All three running backs need each other to get a good amount of touches so that the work load is evenly distributed.

The wide receivers of the Dallas Cowboys are an interesting group.

Roy Williams should be ready to go fully recovered from his injuries. Patrick Crayton is a slot receiver that doesn't scare to much. He has good hands and runs his routes well.

Miles Austin is a speedy receiver that should have a good year. last year he showed signs of being amazing it could be a break out year for Miles Austin.

The tight end position is loaded with Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett. Jason is going to get a lot of balls thrown his way and should have another great season for the Cowboys.

On the defensive side of the football it is questionable. The Cowboys are going to need a solid year from Terrance Newman. Newman is one of the only decent proven corner-backs that the cowboys have.

The Cowboys should be getting a lot of pressure on the Quarterback again this year with Ware, Spares, Ratliff and Ellis. They will need every sack they can get. At safety position is Ken Hamlin and Patrick Watson.

All around the cowboys look like a team that can compete in the competitive NFC east the question is will they? The Cowboys needs to have the desire to win. They need a leader to step up and take them where they haven't been able to go. Will it be Tony Romo will it be Marion Barber?

Who is going to step up and put fire into the Dallas Cowboys? This is something you can not guess or predict accurately; only time will tell.
