Five Cowboys who failed to meet expectations: No. 1
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/20...ons-no-1.html/
After the Cowboys failed to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season, management has spent time evaluating the roster. They’ll instantly recognize players who surpassed expectations and others who didn’t meet them. We’ll examine the top five players in both categories: No. 1: Doug Free, Right Tackle Doug Free is the most well-compensated player on the Cowboys’ offensive line. Right now, an argument can be made that he is its worst performer. Moved from the left to the right bookend before the season when Tyron Smith was tasked with protecting quarterback Tony Romo’s blindside, the sixth-year tackle was given an easier job. Yet he failed miserably. The Cowboys rushing attack, which was atrocious, gained almost a yard more running to the left side than it did to the right. But Free performed even worse in pass protection. He conceded seven sacks – the most on the team. He was also tied for the most penalties in the NFL. Free’s play was so bad that the Cowboys were forced to act. In the final four games they made Free give up some of his snaps to Jermey Parnell, an undrafted player who was seen as a project. Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

I know I'm not alone when I say I still can't believe how horrible he played last year.
This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray, Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8. |

I'm on the phone. Is it just Free in the article with others to come or are there more players listed?
I only see Free  |

Why does this list stop at 5? Hardly anybody on this entire roster met expectations.

Lets count the number of starters who lived up to expectations or performed better than expected 1. Dez Bryant 2. Anthony Spencer 3. Jason Witten 4. Dwayne Harris these are the guys that stand out. You could maybe make an argument for Romo and/or Brandon Carr... |
