2) A Cowboys source tells CowboysSI.com that examining interior D-linemen is next on the "things to do'' list. We know the return of Johnathan Hankins is a desire, and as we wrote last week, Carlos Watkins might return as well. But would long-time Ravens standout Calais Campbell be an upgrade? Or, just as Dallas is looking at local guys like Ronald Jones (of McKinney and USC), shouldn't the Cowboys also meet with 6-4, 320-pound defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson (of Fort Worth and Alabama)?

We think two more moves are coming - surely in the category "calculatingly aggressive'' ... as Cowboys Nation hopes for a Week 2 of business at The Star that is as fruitful as Week 1.

Robinson is my dream. Watkins will be my reality.

Headline is a bit misleading, right? Cowboys haven't been linked to Robinson it's just Fish seemingly claiming they should be in on him.

I hope Fish knows something most don't.

I think Robinson still wants to get paid. Probably more than Hankins and Watkins combined.

I was wondering who is the better of the two Hankins vs Robinson as 1 techs, ..and which will end up being the cheapest to sign (or re-sign?) ..for Cap Boy Stephen Jones.

Watkins isn’t the guy we pray for but he was pretty productive last year for a rotational guy.

Bringing him back isn’t the answer but certainly is a plus

Rumor out of the ether is that Fowler is the only outstanding contract offer. Hankins may get a 1 year offer at a later date but Cowboys focused on upgrade.

I personally wanted Hankins back but the more I look at his career stats the more he looks like a washed player. Drastic drop in production the last two seasons.

You can’t judge a 1Tech by his stats. Their stats are irrelevant if they are doing their job.

That’s true but his tackles and stuffs are way down the past couple years. I thought he looked ok here while healthy but there’s no doubt we can improve at that position.

People were complaining how Zeke is no longer a 1,000+ rusher, thus glad he is gone, but now want to sign Roland Jones even though he only rushed for 70 yards all of last year?
