Cowboys Issues:

Jerry's been trippin

The Cowboys have more to worry about than just being 0-1 and losing their first game in a horrendous, 2010esque fashion. Lets start up top. The Cowboys have a lunatic in charge of the important decisions. Jerry thought Romo played a great game last week. That is a mentally challenging argument to make. He also thought that it would be okay to only have 4 cornerbacks on the roster, one of whom is injury-prone and the other three unproven…here is where the problems will begin.

Terence Newman will be out once again, and despite Alex Smith’s ineptness, the 49ers do have playmakers in the receiving corps. Mike Jenkins has been banged up, although he did play well last week. Now Orlando Scandrick is out for 4 weeks and the only person left is Alan Ball? Alan Ball sucks, there is no way around that.

Sean Lee looks like an emerging star and hopefully he and the boys up front can create enough havoc to help out the secondary, but once again the Cowboys look stupid for not having properly bolstered their secondary.

On the offensive side of the ball, the team is going to live and die by the arm of Romo. He is good enough to put points on the board, but in the end he is a hog chugger. He has failed time and time again to excel when it matters most I have defended him in the past, and his talent is unquestionable; but I am sick of reading articles by Dallas journalists who talk about how much Tony Romo loves playing under pressure and isn’t scared of it. Great, he’s not scared, he just blows under it.

Also, the offensive line and running game need to step it up. I realize the Jets run defense is among the league best, but Felix Jones needs to start replicating his preseason. The young guys, like Bill Nagy are going to have to do a better job of generating push. Newly signed Derrick Dockery is expected to start this week because of a neck injury to Nagy. Also, the line and Tashard Choice need to get a damn yard when you need a damn yard. That is unacceptable.

Dez Bryant’s status is questionable with a bruised thigh. He needs to man up and play. He is too important to the team to not play, especially since the thought of Kevin Olgletree being the starter opposite Miles Austin makes me want to jump off my roof.

Issues aside, I expect Dallas to crush their once heated rival, the San Francisco 49ers. Just sayin.
