Bryan Broaddus
Football Analyst/Scout
With only an hour on the air and a room full of personalities, great e-mail questions occasionally fall through the cracks on the Cowboys Break (http://www.dallascowboys.com/multimedia/live-shows/the-lunch-break.html) and Talkin’ Cowboys (http://www.dallascowboys.com/multimedia/live-shows/talkin-cowboys.html) online radio shows. But all questions are appreciated and we'll try to answer them in some form or fashion on DallasCowboys.com. On Thursday, Bryan Broaddus answered a few that didn't make the air.
Austin Waddick
Do the Cowboys now have the personnel at cornerback to match up with the Giants’ wide receivers?
Bryan: It’s not just about the Giants, but the Eagles and the Redskins as well. With Brandon Carrhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/brandon-carr/4bf134ab-6baf-4282-bf36-1ba93f011aee/), Morris Claibornehttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/morris-claiborne/07da58b0-737b-417f-909c-157234ba8f8f/), Mike Jenkinshttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/mike-jenkins/bd18298d-5189-404e-baf0-0491fa8106d8/) and Orlando Scandrickhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/orlando-scandrick/71755813-c32a-490d-97a6-b36b9ab686d9/), you do match up much better. You now even have the opportunity to handle the tight ends with those clubs, too. The player that needs to have a better season is Scandrick out of the slot. That’s where these teams do the most damage.

Did the Cowboys do enough to fix their offensive line this offseason?
Bryan: I saw some positive things from Nate Livingshttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/nate-livings/36dadb3d-f0d5-4580-bb98-d75dce4c7f74/) blocking guys on the Texans, Cardinals and Ravens. Is he perfect or pretty? No, but he is a physical player. Mackenzy Bernadeauhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/mackenzy-bernadeau/a25c0b06-9718-4397-ac63-4220aa73bd78/) made one start last season, against the Falcons, but I did study him against the Giants, and he wasn’t bad in the preseason. I have my own questions at center with Phil Costahttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/phil-costa/119be5ef-632d-43cc-8051-fa1ec8b37a44/), but when the season opens, I feel he will be the guy.

Does Bill Nagyhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/bill-nagy/f1761562-7a0e-4b19-aa45-cfce57081b5a/) have a realistic shot to beat out Phil Costa and/or Mackenzy Bernadeau at center?
Bryan: I have a feeling that Kevin Kowalskihttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/kevin-kowalski/acd29fff-a4e4-4f79-a056-554fadb82d49/) would have a better chance, but he will be the backup at guard in the preseason.
