Cowboys Week 1

Ok, so i am no football expert and don't really have the credentials to comment on the Cowboys beyond the water cooler, but this is my page, so...

Do we have reason to worry after Sunday night's game against the Giants? I say we do a little. My primary concern is the secondary. On the upside, Newman will come back and help. Maybe we will get better production out of Hamlin as advertised, but Sunday night all I heard from him was a personal foul penalty. The secondary will only get better if they can learn to compensate for Roy Williams's inability to cover. They could use him in a prevent kind of way and let him always play behind the receivers and simply light them up as or after they catch the ball and see if he can cause drops, fumbles, or unconsciousness. Or, they simply need to feed him a biscuit and call him a linebacker. My other concern is the running game. I do like Barber and he runs really hard, but he is not an all-time back and i'm not sure Jones is a good compliment. Does anyone else still cringe to see Dallas traded down when Steven Jackson fell to them? I honestly think that was a worse move than passing on Moss. Romo did prove he's passed the botched snap. The passing game will go far as long as we love on TO and embrace him while totally ignoring anything dumb he says. They don't need to do much more than quietly make sure he has the proper type of people around him. We will be even better if Glenn can come back, but we are fine as is too. The defense has to get more pressure on the quaterback to help the secondary out. I hope the rookie kicker handles the pressure, but we won't know till its too late so hold your breath. All in all, it was an ugly win against a bad team in disarray before they were hit with injuries and we have as many question marks as we did before the game. I don't think Wade Phillips did anything to deserve another head coaching gig, but we've got him and it was time to move Parcells on and get a coach in that players want to play for. TO was more valuable to us than Parcells. Washington beat Miami, so I'm not sure we'll learn much more from this game unless we lose, and that is bad news. We need to at least just go out and take care of business with a smooth easy win.
