The NFL preview issue of Sports Illustrated comes out tomorrow, and we were e-mailed the preview for the Dallas Cowboys. The magazine has them finishing 2nd in the NFC East.
These preview articles always have a hook - something or someone specific to write around - and SI uses Roy Williams. Not a bad choice, considering how much talk he has generated here in Dallas.In the article, Williams talks about trying to forge a relationship with Tony Romo in the off-season:
"My thing was getting in his hip pocket and letting him see that I'm a likable person, that he can talk to me about anything."
The article briefly mentions that the Cowboys will use two tight ends and stress the running game, and calls the expectations on this team "crushing." A lot of us here in the Dallas media have talked about how the Cowboys are flying under the radar this year, and to a degree, that's true. But flying under the radar doesn't mean this team is not facing big-time expectations. At the very least, Wade Phillips should feel some heat. Does anyone have any doubt what will happen to him if this team doesn't make the playoffs?
