OK, you can say that pretty much every week when it comes to the Cowboys, but if you look at Carolina's first two games, the Panthers have struggled with tight ends.
In the opener, Carolina allowed Philly's Brent Celek to catch six passes for 37 yards and a touchdown. Last week, Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez caught seven passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.
Monday will mark the sixth time Witten has played against Carolina, and he's managed to get in the end zone only once. Including the playoffs, he's caught 23 passes for 221 yards against the Panthers.
And if Witten is being covered, then look for Martellus Bennett. This could be a big week for either of them.

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said Thursday that quarterback Tony Romo is doing just fine after his poor performance in Sunday night's loss to the New York Giants.
"He's doing good. He puts such high expectations on himself and no doubt he was disappointed," Witten said. "I'm sure, [he has] some sort of sense [that] he let us down but he's been very upbeat, very positive and just getting back to work. We have all the confidence in the world in him.
"He always took losses tough. I do think you put so much work into it that when those things happen, I'm sure it's hard. It's hard for all of us. Any time you're a guy like that and you've worked so hard to get where you've gotten, put such an emphasis on certain things and you don't succeed, obviously it's a huge disappointment. You have to build from that and that's what he's trying to do, too."
