1) What happens if the O-line can not protect Bledsoe on the Blitz and He(Bledsoe) is injured? Is the season a waste, or can we count on Romo or Henson?

2) Julius Jones is the man, but what if the man gets hurt, are we (as cowboy fans) confident if the A-Train and Marion Barber to get the job done?

3) WANTED RECEIVERS UNDER 30 NEEDED APPLY AT VALLEY RANCH

I think that has to be out sour spot, Morgan is not very impressive, if
keyshaw or glenn gets hurt, then who do we have to step in an contribute right
away? I have heard that Ahmad Merrit has been turning some heads and comments of suggestions on him........

I do not think we have any problems on the Defensive side of the ball but again any suggestions or comments would greatly be appreciated

I think the question is

Will Parcells trust 2 QBs that haven't done squat in the NFL in Romo or Henson to lead the team in Bledsoe went down with an injury?

I think I am the only one who believes there is another veteran QB on standby just incase.

I expect Drew Henson would be inserted and he would sink or swim.

I predict a Bledsoe injury ... if it does happen, then Purcells will be forced to do what he should have done last December: Find out more about Henson and/or Romo.

It will be a good thing in the long run.

I agree, tho I don't want to assume Henson would be 1st man in, but more than likely he would be.

As for the 2nd Q re: Julius. Our RB depth is nothing like last years. I'm not concerned at all if he goes down what our running game would like. I'd hate for him to be injured, but at least I wouldn't be dying a slow death every time Richie Anderson or Eddie George took the handoff.

As for the 3rd Q re the WRs: Yeah we don't have the stud WR under 30, but it's not like we're trotting out two scrubs either. Key and Glenn are good receivers and even tho Morgan and the rest are kinda unknown, I don't think we'll be as one-eyed at the QB spot as we were w/Vinny last year.

Well we could also ask what happens if Roy williams goes down, if NEwman goes down, If Henry goes down, If rivera allen adams goes down, nobdy has quality depth at every postion, and it doenst matter who goes down, we will put in a player and make thebest of it, no season is gone just because a player goes down.

For instance when the steeler lost TOmmymadux, now then didnt everybody think then o boy were in for a losing strech, and then what happend they won 16 straight, injuries can happen we just have to hope somebodycan pull Big Ben:d

Vinny is probably on speed dial if Bledsoe goes down early (training camp), otherwise, I believe he is prepared to go into the season with Romo and Henson as the backups.

If Bledsoe goes down we will be better off in the long term

Realize i also think Bledsoe is washed up and overrated

I don't think the loss of Bledoe, would be anywhere near the impact the loss of Julius Jones or one of our corners, or Williams, or one of the good O linemen for that matter.

Should Bledsoe go down, Henson will be thrown pretty much into the same situation Rothlesburger found himself in last season. Given the level of talent he would be surrounded by - on both sides of the ball - I'm quite confident he'll account for himself quite nicely. Not to say mistakes wouldn't be made, but I strongly feel we would win almost as many games with him at the helm as with Bledsoe and the experience he would gain would benefit the team immensely down the road. This is not yet our year to make a SB run (stranger things have happened though) so now would be the time to see what he's made of, not a year or two from now when the rest of the team is ready to go to the big dance but our QB question is still unresolved.

Our RB corps is stronger than it's been for many years. We'll be just fine should JJ be injured.

Our receivers are going to be just fine this year.

Why would you believe this when it's exactly the same scenario as last season? Parcells went into the season with Interceptionverde and the same 2 inexperienced guys we have now.

If Bledsoe goes down then our season is basically done because Parcells will alternate between the two IMO and try to find out which one truly is our QB of the future. Then again he may find out that neither one can stand up to real NFL defenses and we need to finally spend a pick on a QB next season.

Iseriously doubt BP is gonna do that. WE are not in the smae situation as last year.Henson has already been in 2 games, and has played he will have another whole preseason to see what the guys have, and i think if BLedsoe goes donw he will know what he's gonna do. our season does depened on whether he stays healthy or not. Just how good he plays when he starts, and how good henson does if he has to start

This team is being built young QB friendly, the Roethlisberger mold, if you will.

Pittsburgh had 3 RBs of different styles, we add Thomas and Barber to compliment Jones.

Pittsburgh had solid receivers who caught the ball, we have Key, Glenn and Witten.

Pittsburgh had a solid OL, we add Rivera and Petitti with Rogers and Peterman returning.

Piitsburgh had a solid defense, we add Ware, Spears, Burnett, Ferguson, Henry, Glenn, Canty, Ratliff, Berault, and Reese.
