Cowboys' secondary is second to none
By Tag Ribary
Scouts Inc.
Three of the biggest offseason moves bolstered three already-talented secondaries in the NFL and helped shape these rankings. The additions of Adam Jones by Dallas, DeAngelo Hall by Oakland and Asante Samuel by Philadelphia put their teams into the elite category. Here's how the top 10 overall groups rank:
1. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have an outstanding group of athletes in their secondary with Terence Newman, Anthony Henry, Roy Williams and Ken Hamlin returning from last year. When you combine that group with the recent additions of Jones and rookie first-round draft pick Mike Jenkins, the Cowboys now have the type of depth that few other teams can match. They will have a tremendous amount of flexibility within their personnel packages to take advantage of each player's strengths while also being able to disguise coverages. Opposing quarterbacks will have to be smart and accurate to have success against this group. The talents of the secondary combined with the effective pass rush of the front seven will force opposing quarterbacks to make some quick decisions.
