I guess this is what a lot if not most people think the Cowboys are doing, and maybe to an extent thats true.
BUT. They are making the changes where they think they need to. Our secondary struggled some... That was mostly because of the safety position and Henry getting beat (when Newman was healthy he did great). I fully think Williams will be replaced, and Henry already has been.
Believe it or not though, we were actually 5th in the NFL against the pass. We gave up 19 passing touchdowns though. We only gave up 11 rushing touchdowns. And we all know where 2 of those came from...
Bradie James and Ware were good and great last year. But the front office obviously felt that Brooking was a better fit than Thomas. He is a little bit bigger of a linebacker. That is probably what they wanted there. I'm sure we'll still draft someone there. We were 12th in the league against the rush, and they probably feel a bigger guy like Brooking can help get us in the top 10 compared to Zach.
Hopefully we let Ellis go, and let Spencer start his new role with us.
At quarterback Romo is obviously the guy. We lost 2 games, one of which was very winnable because of Johnson. I think we win that game with Kitna. We have a better offense here than Detroit.
One of the biggest problems with our offense was the offensive line... but lets remember friends. Flozell Adams played injured, and we lost both Kosier and Holland.
We're not making changes because the changes need to be in the depth, which we'll probably get in the draft.
Differences in the start of 2009 vs the 2008 season
- Felix Jones (more speed on offense, might even be the starter)
- Roy Williams (offseason will let Romo get his timing down with Roy, and help Garrett see how to use him)
- Tony Romo (his finger will have healed much better by the start of next season)
The Defense plays like it did down the stretch (minus that last game), and the Offense plays like it can, and I think it can do that.
I have no problem seeing this team as dare I say it the best team in the nfl. Crazy right?
Look at Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Our defense's at points were just as good as theirs. If we can improve the defense, and play to potential, few changes need to be made. The biggest change was Wade becoming the DC too.
On offense, we just got to design it to work with what we've got. They can fix that, they have all year to do it. My biggest worry is the run blocking, but hopefully our line is healthy and a strength for us in both categories.
Like Jerry said, we have the pieces in place. He is right about that. Our team wasn't horrible last year. If Romo wasn't hurt I think we could have taken the super bowl, i really do. We were better than Arizona, we were better than philly, and we were better than new york.
