Dallas Cowboys starting lineup projection

Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer

OFFENSE

Quarterback (Tony Romo): He turned 35 in April, but is coming off his best season and was able to take part in every phase of the offseason.

Running back (Joseph Randle): He won’t get DeMarco Murray's 392 carries, but the Cowboys hope he can be a 1,000-yard rusher as the leader of a committee.

Wide receiver (Dez Bryant): The Cowboys took care of any potential headache with Bryant by signing him to a five-year, $70 million contract. He will put up his fourth straight season with at least 80 catches, 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Wide receiver (Terrance Williams): His numbers faded down the stretch in 2014, but he came up big in the playoffs and asserted himself more in Bryant’s absence from the offseason program.

Wide receiver (Cole Beasley): He was rewarded with a long-term deal that included $7 million guaranteed, and he is a Romo favorite on third-down situations.

Tight end (Jason Witten): He is entering his 13th season and does not appear to be slowing down. He might not have a 90-catch season, but his overall play is a big reason why the Cowboys run so well.

Looks 100% just hope somebody can beat Hayden out.

I think Hayden is here to stay this year. But I also think Bishop is going to get a lot of reps this season in run situations, he played well for a rook. I'm also really interested to see if T. McClain can show progress, he just turned 27 a few days ago and this is only going to be his 5th year in the league. He's not going to be All-Pro but he can give some significant contributions over Hayden.

That is some veteran talent football players. Romo has some targets! Plus, he is healthy for the first time in two years.

This is the deepest defense we've had in a decade. When Hardy and McClain get back it will also be the most talented. I'm not worried about the D this year. I'm worried about the running game and how it may effect the overall performance on offense.

Jones doesnt even get mentioned in the cb or safety blurbs?

Jones is not going to start
But starting on this defense won't mean a whole lot. Gregory, jones, Mo and many others are going to get lots of playing time
The LB's won't have so many substitutions but the dline is going to be a wave of guys and the secondary is going to see several guys getting plenty of playing time
I suspect Randell will be the starter at RB but dmac is going to get lots of carries
I also hope we can find a way to have Collins active so he can get some reps throughout the season
For the most part the starters on offense will play most of the time but on the defense I think if you just look at snaps you may have trouble figuring who is the starters

Well I think they are 100% correct listing Randle as the starter because I believe he is a better overall RB, but we will see. Competition is always good.

Unless randle gives them a reason not to start him he will start
He has been here and earned an opportunity
To me it's his job to lose , but dmac is going to get lots of carries himself. No RB is going to have a load of carries I suspect
