Wade Phillips will have a lot of decisions to make with this line up.
I will be very interested to see how Phillips views this roster compared to Parcells. When looking at this I see several battles that are in play, and roster decisions throughout.
QB - Romo is the starter, nothing should happen here.
RB- This could be very interesting. Wade loves to run the football. Will Wade see things the same as Parcells did with Barber and Jones? I am not so sure. Yes I think they will split carries, but who starts, and who gets the majority?
WR - Owens, Glenn, Crayton, Hurd, Austin, Stanback, Rector
We know the top 3 are set, but what happens from there? How many can we keep with how Wade lines up the roster? Maybe 2 get cut. That would be a very interesting decision.
O-Line - Colombo, Davis, and Gurode all saw the money and should start, but the left side may be a different story. How will Wade look at Kosier? Yes he played pretty well last year, but I honestly would not be surprised if something happens here. Wade seems to like the mauler straight ahead one on one blockers. Could someone like Proctor or McQuistan prove to be more of what Wade wants, how far have they come? Adams is probably safe here, but obviously there will be a lot of attention paid to his future replacment, maybe next year.
TE - Nothing to see here
FB - this could be very interesting with Hoyte, Polite, Anderson, and Battle battling it out.
DE/DT - This will be very, very interesting in my mind. I think we have all learned now Wade has a much different 3-4 than Parcells. The thing that intrigues me here is both Hatcher and Ratliff fit his penetrating scheme, maybe more than Canty and Spears, While Spears may even be an option inside along with Ferguson and Ratliff has been mentioned there as well. Most of this would be a big no no under Parcells, but this is a different thing now. What will Wade do with these pieces of Ferguson, Spears, Canty, Ratliff, and Hatcher? We may just be surprised.
LB - OH MY will this be interesting. Ware, Spencer, Carpenter, James, Akin, Burnett, Ellis. 7 possible starters in 4 spots, sure we will use them all, but who is considered the starters here, how much difference will there be than how Parcells utilized these players, I think a world of difference. Wade must feel like he has the keys to several luxury vehicles and has to figure out which ones to drive.
FS - Hamlin should start, but could Watkins have made a leap fron last year to this year, I sure hope so? Do we finally say good bye to Davis?
SS - Well we will probably not find out anything about Roy during training camp, but once the season starts how Wade uses Roy will be very interesting, I also expect this will be much different than Parcells.
CB - Newman and Henry will start, not much here other than watching Brown to see if he can take a spot.
FG- Actually this should be very interesting. Could we have actually drafted a kicker that can make the roster? There will be a battle here.
KR/PR - Can Stanback give us something special here? I love this pick and I am very excited to see how this works out.
I really feel this training camp is going to be awesome, I think it will have a much different feel than the previous camps under Parcells and I think it will be very imformative with some possible twists many may not be expecting.
