NFL Preview: Dallas Cowboys





Offense:

On paper this team should be real good, they have Miles Austin, Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Dez Bryant, Felix Jones, Tashard Choice and Rookie Demarco Murray. Obviously last year was a horrible year for Dallas with the injuries and shitty overall play, but if Dallas can be healthy and get the offense clicking this is still a real scary offense. I am suspect of Felix Jones being "The Guy" in big D, but if the passing attack is so prolific it can mask a mediocre run game (look at the Patriots). All in all, I really am not worried about the Cowboys regular season offense.



Defense:

Their defensive line Jay Ratliff, Marcus Spears, Igor Olshansky and reserves Jason Hatcher and Kenyon Coleman is a solid unit. Demarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, and Keith Brooking although old can still play. Their secondary can be questionable free agent signee Abram Elam is expected to take over at free safety, teaming with strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh, who signed a new deal after the lockout. The Cowboys also like Danny McCray and Barry Church, who both showed potential last year as rookie free agents. The Cowboys began last season with only three cornerbacks Terence Newman, Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick and none of the three lived up to expectations. Alan Ball, who struggled at safety last season, has been moved to cornerback.



Overall:

It's the Eagles division so I'm putting them at 9-7
