Kevin Burnett E-mail News tips

31 might be one of the best young corners in the league right now. If he can get on the field I see defensive rookie of the year for him easy.

32 very fast has a lot of ability just needs game time to build confidence. Once he gets some PT he will also be a top corner in the league.

53 a WIP learning from 94 should pay off 1-3 years from now.

51 has to learn to play special teams if he wants to be a Cowboy

47 will surprise a lot of people with his ability. Looks really good in practice and should make the team depending on sp teams play in preseason. Will be a very good player if given the chance to play.

95 another WIP but should be ok learning from the best young 3 tech in the game right now 99

Wow. High praise for Dowayne Davis and Mike Jenkins.

I can't wait to see Jenkins starting with the first teamers this weekend!

And I think Davis is going to earn a roster spot.

He keeps getting good mentions.

Maybe we've traded in one Davis for another?

I believe that's who Wade comparied him to.

We are absolutely stacked at CB. Or maybe these guys look so good when you compare them to Reeves and Nate Jones.

No kidding. I had almost forgotten about Oglesby with Jenkins, Pac, and Scandrick coming in, and now HE is coming out of nowhere with an impressive TC.

If we don't have a top 5 passing defense this year I would be very very shocked.

That shuffling you hear is Anthony Henry STARTING to clear out his locker...I could easily see him traded before the season...either way, this is his last year in Dallas

The only way I could possibly see Henry moved would involve a top receiver in return.

And despite my biggest hopes, I think that's a longshot at this point.

100% untrue. Henry has played great for us at corner since he got here.

When he's healthy and on the field, I agree.

keep team depth at CB, go short at positions like WR where we are not deep.

What are you thinking? That would be so stupid. Newman is already hurt. If Pacman went down or worse fails to get reinstated, we would be left with basically a bunch of rookie CB's.
