It’s impossible to establish sufficient depth across an entire NFL roster in the salary cap era. That’s why you see injuries cripple teams’ playoff chances, and to a certain extent that’s what happened to the Cowboys last season. The team has tried to fortify certain positions this off-season. Owner/general manager Jerry Jones has said upgrading backup quarterback was his top...

The Terrell Owens trade had me thinking about the Cowboys. It seems pretty clear that the loss of T.O. will hurt Tony Romo's fantasy value. Dallas may still bring in another high-end WR, but even so it will be tough for Romo to replace the WR1 he has worked with for the past three years. Then I thought: what if it's more than just a loss of a WR? What if it's bigger than that? So it's time for Episode...

"Success occurs when preparation and opportunity intersect." I’m not sure on who said it first, but that is one of my favorite phrases in the world, and boy is it ever true. Take a guy like Tashard Choice for example. In college Choice found himself behind future NFL backs like Adrian Peterson and P.J. Daniels . In his inaugural NFL season he found himself third on the depth chart behind...

In case you were wondering, Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is "coachable." " I feel like I can do it all ," Williams said after this morning's practice. "If I'm coached to do it the right way, I can do it. Just tell me what to do and I can do it, coach. Because, once again, I am a coachable wide receiver who does what he's coached to do." In addition to being "coachable,"...

Defense wins . Offense loses. That was the theme of today's organized team activity. The passing game looked, as Roy Williams said, "sloppy" . There were some center-quarterback exchange problems and blown assignments on the O-line. On the other end of the offense's miscues, the defensive backs came up big--particularly Courtney Brown and Alan Ball . Brown showed his cornerback skills by...

Is the Razorback for real? If so, the Cowboys have both Patrick Crayton and Isaiah Stanback who are capable of employing it. While Stanback has been injured, Crayton has had dibs on being the QB in the Cowboys' modified WildCat formation. Although such a formation would be used more to attack from the ground, it would be nice to be able to have somebody who could throw. If Crayton and/or Stanback can...

[Ed. Note by Grizz]: Jim Vance had a story about the three-headed monster at running back ready to go for today, but then I was sent a video by Tashard Choice's people highlighting their new nickname. If I'm not mistaken, our own Carl Shelton came up with Bash, Dash and Tash which I relayed to Tashard, who altered it to Smash, Dash and Tash. It looks like the guys want to make the name stick. Well,...
